f your families contact information has changed, or if you have other people picking up your students that are not on your list, please let the office know so we can update all information
Cory Families,
The end of each school year is filled with so many fun and exciting events. As we approach April and May this year, teachers are planning for end of year assessments and engaging students with high level tasks. We know, however, that students’ memories are often made at field day, projects, the talent show and continuation. We are so very excited for these enjoyable community events.
As I reflect on this school year, I continue to be amazed at the efforts and instruction our teachers consistently provide within a safe and welcoming classroom community. I am also so very appreciative of the support from our community. I want to thank you for supporting me and our teachers throughout the year. I appreciate the kind words about our teachers, your support of your children at home and the caring community that makes Cory such a wonderful school and community. Thank you for your continued support and engagement!
The Cory Science Fair was a huge success. We want to thank all the Cory scientists who participated with creative and inquisitive projects. Thank you for your support of our Cory Scientists! The winners who will be able to go to the district Science Fair on April 29th are:
1st Grade:1st – Morgan Faliskie 2nd – Sophie Lyders
2nd Grade:1st – Madison Cochell 2nd – Abby Hockemeier
3rd Grade: 1st – Campbell Graham 2nd – Haylen Hockemeier
4th Grade:1st – Zach Kim 2nd – Alexis Lin
5th Grade:1st – Chloe Macias 2nd – Lynn Yoon
Parent Equity Series for next week is going to be rescheduled. We will send out updated information on the equity series soon.
CMAS has started! Please make sure students are here on time so they are able to be in the classroom to start their tests. Please try and not pull your students out during testing as they will have to makeup their tests. We love our volunteers but during our testing weeks it would be easier for Cory not to have you in the building. The quieter our building is the better during these weeks. Thank you for your understanding.

Once a family is enrolled — or accepted — into a DPS school, the next step is registering with their school. This is the annual process of providing and updating student and family information on file, including emergency contacts, health information and more.
Registration can be done online, during Early Bird registration.. We recommend registering online because it’s convenient and saves time. Families can register online for the 2023-24 school year during the “Early Bird” window, May 1-19.
To register online, sign in to Parent Portal, click on “See All Apps,” then click on “Online Registration” to verify or update your student’s information. Online registration can only be completed by the parent/guardian listed in the primary household of the student record

Families of students going into 1st through 5th grade next school year (this year’s current kindergarten through 4th graders) are invited to register for Denver Public Schools’ FREE Summer Connections 2023 program!
Students are assigned to a Summer Connections host school based on its proximity to their boundary school, not their school of choice (if applicable). If you do not wish to attend your host school, in the application process, click “no”. This will allow you to see a list of schools available to you. Please note, selecting a school that is not your home school will disqualify you for transportation.
Summer Connections offers transportation in the morning and in the afternoon to students who live more than 1.0 mile from their assigned Summer Connections location. Students must register before April 15 to be guaranteed a bus stop. Distance is calculated from the student’s home address to the Summer Connections location. You will be notified if your student is eligible for bus service.
Please contact the Office of Expanded Academic Learning at (720) 423-3629 or EAL@dpsk12.org.
A couple reminders:
1. Cell phones and smart watches are not allowed in school. They may be kept in back packs. If you need to get in touch with your child, then please contact the front office
2. School begins at 8:15. With the tardy bell ringing at 8:20
3. If a student is late they must come into the front office and get signed in taking a tardy slip with them to class.
4. We go outside every day we can. Please make sure you children have the correct clothing coats, hats and boots if needed on cold weather days.
5. Students have a snack during the day with their class. Please try and remember to pack a daily snack.
6. If you are picking up your student early you must come into the building to the office and sign them out. This is for their safety along with ours to insure we know where all students are all day. We prefer you are here before 3:00 to check out your students. We understand there are times when this is not possible as emergency’s happen. When you arrive to pick up your student we will call the classroom to have your child come to the front to meet you, we do not want students sitting in the office waiting for parents.
7. School is over at 3:20. If you have not picked up your students by 3:30 they will be waiting in the front office for you.
8. Sometimes the lunch menu changes in the cafeteria due to food not being delivered on time to the warehouse. We try to keep the menu consistent with what they say. Please understand Food Services is doing everything they can to provide the best meals to our students. Please feel free to call Food Services with questions or concerns. 720-423-5600.
9. Please do not sent your student to school sick. Please see the below guidelines from The Department of Public Health.
