PARENT POST 10/2/2020

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Cory Families,

Happy Friday!  We are excited to welcome 1st grade back to Cory next week. I would like to urge everyone to be diligent with mask wearing and hand washing/sanitizing. As we continue to respond to COVID and requirements of DPS and the Health Department, we do appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Please complete health checks with your children each day and keep your children home if they are sick. Together, we can keep students educated and keep everyone healthy.

Many families have asked how to block YouTube.  Here are the directions on how to do that. Please let me know if this resource works. 
 
– Permission form for students to walk and bike home
– Kiss and Go form 
– Family Technology form please complete the family technology form 

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns or suggestions.

Best, 

Joan Wieser

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE CORY NURSE

When we return to in-person learning, it is important to know that the Cory nurse will only be at Cory on Mondays, Wednesday, and Thursdays.  If you have medications that need to be dropped off, they need to be brought on one those days as they need to be given to the nurse only.

Medications
If a student needs to take medications at school, the following requirements must be met:

  1. The medication must be a prescription.
  2. The medication must be in the original container.
  3. The medication must be readable, including a clear identification of the name and type of medication.
  4. Medication must have a prescription label with the child’s name, drug identification, dosage instructions, doctor’s name and current prescription date.
  5. A “Permission to Take Medication” form must be signed by the parent/guardian for all medications, including Tylenol. (listed below must be on a DPS med form)
  6. The nurse, health paraprofessional or office staff will administer medications.

NOTE:  Due to liability factors, over-the-counter medications, including but not limited to cough medicine, cough drops, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and stomach medication cannot be administered at school. 

Medication forms are listed below

ATTENTION CORY ELD FAMILIES
We will have a virtual parent meeting on Tuesday, Oct 13 at 5:30-6:15pm. We will discuss ACCESS testing and how to understand your child’s ACCESS scores. Please let Kara Butte know if you need a translator for this meeting.
