Due to weather-related delays that have impacted the completion of the newly resurfaced track at Brechbuhler Stadium, our Meet the Teams event has been canceled. Our student-athletes will instead be recognized and introduced during upcoming home football games. Stay tuned for more details on those introductions as we continue to celebrate our Wildcats this fall!

Download the Stopfinder app from the Apple App Store or Google Play today to stay connected and get real-time updates.

All current students must have their First Day Forms completed before the start of the school year. These forms are required for students to receive their Chromebooks during computer distribution at each school. Families have been sent their student’s Snapcode, which is needed to verify and update student records online. If you need help or access to a computer, the District Office has computers available for use. To schedule an appointment, please call 330-484-8019.

Not a New Tax Canton Local Schools is asking voters to renew an existing levy on the November 4, 2025 ballot. The 10.8-mill levy has been in place since 2001, and its last five-year renewal was approved in 2021. It supports day-to-day operations (like staff and supplies) and permanent improvements (like buses and building upgrades).
