MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I want to celebrate our amazing students and all the gifts they bring each day! Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that all students have positive academic and social emotional growth.  

Extended Learning is extremely excited to announce the return of Enrichment Programming at Cory/C3! Below you will find the link to the brochure for Fall Session which begins on 10/19. It is important to note that due to extreme staffing shortages for many of our providers, as well as the current guidelines we must operate off of, we are running a much smaller program offering than you are used to seeing. We are still working with some providers and may add them after today so please check the brochure again prior to the start of registration for updates. Know however that as the year goes on we will be working towards building the traditionally robust programming you have come to know and love. 

Registration will open October 6th at 8am to give families time to prepare. 
Access the Cory & C3 Enrichment Fall Session Brochure here

For clarification: All classes will be held at Cory at this time.

I hope to see everyone at the Cory Carnival this weekend! It will be a fun time to come together as a community to celebrate and have some fun! 

Best,

Joan Wieser

WE NEED YOU FOR CORY’S ANNUAL GROUNDS CLEAN-UP DAY

Calling all leaf-rakers, wheel-barrow-riders, and donut-eaters!  Cory’s annual Grounds Clean Up Day is happening on Saturday, Oct. 30th from 9:30am – 12pm!  We’ll be raking leaves, clipping branches, planting bulbs, and helping put the Cory Garden to bed for the year, all while enjoying refreshments (did we mention donuts!) and good company!  Students, parents, siblings, alums,
grandparents, and any other Cory fans welcome!  An assortment of adult-sized tools and leaf bags will be provided, but we could use a few folks with portable leaf-blowers and bulb donations. Families are also encouraged to bring along gloves, leaf grabbers, and any kid-sized gear for young helpers.

Mark your calendars, and please sign up at the link below to join us and bring some supplies.
