Principal's Message

Dear Eccles Families and Caregivers,

This is a week when we say thanks to the educators in our district who teach and care for our students. I couldn’t be prouder of the work the Eccles staff does on a daily basis. From our teachers to our kitchen staff, our custodial staff to our specialists, our office to our instructional assistants; we are united in our vision to create a vibrant and engaged learning community.

Eccles staff recognizes the importance of the work they do. They skillfully, tirelessly, creatively, and joyfully create the conditions for all of our students to grow. We have wonderful students!

This week families have partnered with the PTA to show appreciation for Eccles’ staff’s commitment to our students. We have received food, treats, decorations, notes, gestures, and gifts. It has been so wonderful, and delicious! Thank you for your support.

We love our community and the work we do.

Sincerely,

Kelly

Library Update with Mrs. Adams

zoom_out_map

It's May, so there's just one month left to check out library books from school. Books will stop coming home after May 31st, and all library books need to be returned by June 7th!

Any books more than 30 days overdue and any books not returned by June 7th will be marked lost and a replacement fee will be charged to your child's account. Overdue and Lost Books weekly reminder emails will resume on the morning of May 6th. Daily reminder emails will begin June 3rd and continue to the last day of school.

Please help your child keep track of their library books! Book replacement fees stay on your child's account through high school! We don't want to charge you money, we want the books back in the library. Thanks for your support!

Questions: Send an email or Remind message to Mrs. Adams in the library! (marlena.adams@canby.k12.or.us)
