MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Cory Families,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone stays warm and safe with the expected snow storm. Thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. We would like to continue to encourage everyone to stay healthy and do your part to get our community more healthy – wear masks, socially distance, wash your hands, keep your social groups very small. We all need to work together to keep our students in school in person as long as possible. THANK YOU!

 Here are some updates below. 

New Snow Day Policy

  • For a single snow day: schools will have a traditional snow day, with no in-person or remote learning.
  • For weather events that require multiple snow days: remote learning will begin the second day.
  • Any time the district is considering a potential snow day, we will send our students and staff home with the supplies needed for remote learning in case it becomes a multi-day event.

Parent Feedback Survey

We wanted to check in with you to see how you are feeling about you and your student(s) experience.   Please be as honest as you can so that we can celebrate together and grow together.  We appreciate you taking the time to fill out this quick survey
