MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Cory Families,
I hope everyone is well! A handful of Cory artwork is on display again at the Eugene Field Library. Be sure to stop in and see the amazing art that will be on display until mid-February. Featured pieces include embroidery stitching on burlap, difference maker portraits, American Revolution stitching projects, sewn creatures, collages, landscapes, and more.
If you are interested in being a sub at Cory, please follow this link. Having an adequate number of subs will support keeping Cory open and not have to pivot too remote because of an operational closure. If you are interested and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
DPS has updated the COVID 19 Screening and Testing Decision Tree. Please use this document to support any
decision making with your students.
Don’t forget to check the lost and found! There is quite a collection of coats, gloves, hats, lunch boxes and much more!
Have a safe and healthy weekend! See you all on Tuesday!
Joan Wieser
Principal
Cory Elementary
