Cory Caregivers,
The new principals, Henry J, Henry L, Parker C, had a great day leading the building and supporting students. They observed classrooms, managed recesses and lunches, and gave many students kindness tickets!! The new Office Assistants, James Vann & Kate Rowland, learned how to greet people at the front door, take attendance, and work on the newsletter. We also had a lot of fun!!
For safety, we are asking all caregivers to buzz in and state the reason for visit. We also ask for each caregiver to provide an ID when entering Cory. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
Thank you to the 2025 Cory Auction Committee for planning the Sneaker Ball!!! We appreciate the support of the community and the auction committee.

We are nearing the final weeks of the 2024-25 school year! While May is often a month of celebration and closing chapters for many of our students, it is also a month when consistent attendance is still important. Each student’s presence at the end of the year plays a vital role in ensuring they finish strong and are prepared for their next year of learning.
We understand that families have many commitments and that the end of the year can be a busy time. However, regular school attendance in these final weeks is essential as teachers are wrapping up important lessons and finalizing projects that contribute to your child’s overall educational growth.
We urge you to prioritize school attendance during these final weeks of the year. Your support in ensuring your child is present and engaged is key to their continued progress. If there are any challenges preventing regular attendance, please contact your child’s school. We are here to support families and students to ensure students are in class each day for the full day.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education. Let’s finish this year on a positive and successful note!
