Message from the Principal 
Cory Families, 

Congratulations to the newly elected members of Student Council for this year: Evelyn Brown, Alexa Kinsman, Mohamed Maghoub, Boots Wolfson, Ryan McNally, Jack Nigon, and Aaron Rowan.

We will be celebrating the fall season with a festive parade.  Students are allowed to bring costumes, and change into those costumes before the parade.  Students are not allowed to wear costumes to school, bring props/weapons, no masks, or bring anything that is scary (no blood or gore).  The parade will start at approximately 2:40 on October 31st and should end at 3:10. If you wish for your child not to be a part of the parade, there will be an alternate activity for them to engage in.  Please let your classroom teacher know.  We look forward to celebrating the season with some joy and fun! 

We will be offering a parent education night about how to respond to bullying on Oct. 30th at 4:00.  We are so excited to share our policy and how families can partner to support students.  Please RSVP for this event. Interpretation services will be available.
