Welcome to Canoas, a 2004 California Distinguished School. The Canoas staff is committed to implementing an intensive, well-balanced, standards-based curriculum to ensure each child’s academic success. Teachers dedicate a 90-minute block of uninterrupted instructional time to teach reading and 60-minutes for language arts.  21st Century skills and technology literacy are developed through the use of our computer lab and laptop carts for programs such as Stanford EPGY Math and Accelerated Reader. Our program also includes Character Education, Student Volunteer Program, Student Conflict Managers, Parent Tutors, Arts Vista, Music for Minors, After School Homework Center, After School Child Care, and optional after school enrichment classes such as Tech Girls, Mad Science and Young Rembrandts.  This year we are also implementing Positive Based Interventions and Support (PBIS).  We invite you to join the Canoas Eagles where students are encouraged to SOAR to great heights both academically and socially.  Canoas students are Safe, Organized, Achieving Goals, and Respectul.  Thus, Canoas Eagles SOAR.

The staff looks forward to working with Canoas parents and community to create a learning environment that has high expectations, promotes students’ academic and social development, allows each child to reach their goals, and makes learning fun.
