Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe term three is closing and it's time for Parent/Teacher conferences!
Parents of elementary grade students (K-6) are invited to meet with their child(ren)'s teacher in person on Friday, April 4th. These conferences are a great opportunity to discuss report cards, assessment scores, classroom concerns, etc.
On the reverse side you will find a meeting request form along with each individual teacher's availability. Click here to download the form https://5il.co/3bp6o
Please complete the request form by filling in your child's name, grade and l 5t, 2nd and 3rd choice for meeting times. We will do our best to accommodate your request(s) but, unfortunately, cannot guarantee them. If you are unable to come in person, a phone call conference and/or zoom meet can be accommodated. Please put down what will work for you on your times picked for a phone call or zoom meet.
Please return the completed form to the school by Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
Important Note: Grades K through 6 DO NOT have classes that day; however, students in grades 7 through 12 will have classes as usual.
4th and 5th grade created Pyramids and invited the elementary to check them out. The students were very knowledgeable and passionate about the projects as they shared them with the other classes!

On March 15 we had a Chess Tournament. The two teams were Knights of the Round Table and Queens of the Octagon Table. The team that won was the Queens coming in at 11.5 and the Knights came in at 9.5. There was some really close games. Thank you all who participated and came out to see the two teams compete. In third place for the individuals was Josh Avery with 3 wins and Tyler (adult on the Queens team) and Levi Phillips 11 year old 5th grader (student on the Knights team) tied for 1st place. It was an intense game. They both had 3.5 wins. We had 21 participants, 2 judges, and 1 arbiter. Congrats to all!
Student council wants to extend a huge thank you to everyone that came to support our Circus fundraiser show!!!
A few things they raise money for are the yearly Canaan Schools scholarship at graduation and for events they host, like the Veteran’s Day luncheon/ assembly they did in November.
We were so busy we forgot to take some photos of all of the fun everyone had. Feel free to comment with your best photos!!! We’d love to see them!!!

Mr. Herr led 20 students in grades 3-6 and Ms. Aldridge in a X-C-Skiing Program for several weeks this winter as part of Canaan's After School Program. Students learned the correct form to x-c ski and eventually learned how to maneuver slopes and off trail. Each day ended with hot chocolate and yummy snacks. The program culminated with a field trip March 4th where the group explored groomed trails at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Fun was had by all.
I would like to invite you to Canaan Schools' Title 1 night on April 14th at 5pm. During this event, we will discuss what the Title 1 grant is, what Canaan is currently using their grant for, and ask for feedback about what to use it for next year.
Thank you,
