Letter to Parents
Week of December 14, 2020
Dear Canty Families:
We are in the swing of Holiday Spirit week!! I hope everyone enjoys their time adding some extra fun to the last week of school before Winter Break. Thank you for taking the time to respond to the survey or calls from Canty regarding your choice for Hybrid or Learn at Home for the potential K-8 return in February. The survey period is now closed. If you chose Learn at Home, the next time to change your decision to Hybrid will be this spring for 4th Quarter. Be on the lookout for information in the new year about potential schedule and homeroom changes as well as entrance/exit and procedures with expectations for the return to school. If you chose for your child to return to school in the hybrid model please begin having them wear a cloth face covering for longer periods of time. Students will be required to wear a cloth face covering (mask) at all times, including recess. Students will only be able to remove masks for the few minutes they are eating. The next Family Communication will be sent January 4, 2021.
Progress Reports
Grades for Progress Reports are finalized on Wednesday, December 16th at 3pm. Grades can be reviewed in Aspen. CPS will be printing and mailing Progress Reports beginning Monday December 21st. Please look for a plain white envelope with Canty’s address as the return address.
