Message from the Principal
Cory Caregivers,
For safety, we are asking all caregivers to buzz in and state the reason for visit. We also ask for each caregiver to provide an ID when entering Cory. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
Our Cory Cougars have been doing a wonderful job staying focused and having a positive mindset with CMAS testing. We are so proud of their grit and perseverance.
As we approach the end of the school year, I am excited to share some updates regarding new positions within our school and to extend a warm welcome to our new educators joining the Cory Crew.
We are thrilled to welcome our new educators to our team for the upcoming school year.
We are excited to share that some of our teachers transitioned to a new role for next school year.
We are confident that they will bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to our learning environment, and we look forward to the positive impact they will have on our students.
At the same time, we want to take a moment to celebrate the dedicated staff members who will be moving on to new opportunities.
Their contributions to our school community have been invaluable, and we are grateful for the impact they have made during their time at Cory. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors and know that they will continue to inspire and make a difference wherever they go.
As we transition into the next school year, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to create a thriving educational environment.
New celebrations!
This week Mrs. Miller’s 4th grade class won the honor of the Golden Trashcan for showing respect towards shared spaces throughout the school. The Golden Trashman will be displayed in their classroom this week.
This week Mr. Doyle’s class won the Golden Basketball for showing respect toward their peers and having positive interactions on the playground. The Golden Basketball will be displayed in their classroom this week. New classrooms will be selected to win every Monday.
