Student of the Week

Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, senior Elisa Lajqi. Elisa is the daughter of Val Lajqi. She has attended Canton since kindergarten and her favorite subject is English. When she gets out of school she hopes to become an optometrist.

Elisa serves as a drum major in the Mighty Canton Band and outside of school she enjoys listening to music and playing games. Something interesting about Elisa is that she is bilingual and does not know how to swim. According to her, she has no plans of learning how to swim.

According to Mr. Dusty Spencer, CHS Principal, “Elisa is an outstanding leader on the CHS campus. She is serving as one of the drum majors for the Mighty Canton Band, where she recently played a huge role in placing second and securing a silver medal. She is very deserving of this recognition and I look forward to watching all the things she will accomplish in the future.” Congratulations Elisa!

CANTON ISD SAFE RETURN TO IN PERSON INSTRUCTION & CONTINUING OF SERVICES PLAN

Canton ISD is continuing to monitor COVID-19 as a district and has developed a Safe Return to In-Person Instruction & Continuing of Service Plan. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) signed into law in March by President Joe Biden included $122 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds for school districts across the country. Canton ISD was awarded these funds. The purpose of ESSER, in general, is to award subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) such as Canton ISD to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.
