Cory Families,
I am excited to announce that, in addition to PE being brought back recently, music will be back on Monday as well. Unfortunately, art will not be back until next school year. Mrs. Alexander has been teaching 4/5 literacy this year and will continue in that role until the end of the year. However, all specials will be back in full force next school year.
Reminders:
CSC
The Collaborative School Committee (CSC) is a great opportunity for parents to further participate in the education of our children by supporting decision making at the school. The CSC is a collaborative committee of school leadership, teachers, parents and classified staff who meet monthly to strategically design the school’s Unified Improvement Plan, analyze school data, provide guidance on and approve the school budget and staffing allocations, and advise the school leadership on school design decisions. If you are interested in serving on the CSC, please complete a nomination form no later than May 5.
Free COVID testing for DPS students
DPS is expanding their partnership with COVID Check Colorado to offer free COVID-19 testing to students to support a safe return to school. Students will now be able to take an initial COVID-19 test before coming back to school as well as ongoing screening tests every other week. To register, please go to: https://www.primarybio.com/members/sign_up?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.primarybio.com%2Fm%2Fr%2Fdenverps&test_group=denverps Testing sites: https://covidcheckcolorado.org/where-to-test/
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend!

Supporting Grieving Families, May 19, 12:00 MST
COVID-19 brought on a pandemic of grief that will impact our schools and community for years to come. This webinar is for adults who want to create understanding and connection with grieving youth. Judi’s House counselors will share information about grief and bereavement. They will review children’s common grief reactions and coping. Finally, they will offer tools for supporting children and teens. Register here.
Donate a bottle(s) or money towards the purchase of wine or bourbon valued at a minimum of $25 or MORE to be entered into a raffle for a Magnum of Silver Oak prior to Monday, May 3.
Drop off in the labeled container by their front door. Attach a note with your name and email so we can enter you into the raffle.
Saturday, May 22 at 10 am – the Cory PTA will put on a fun run (once around the Cory-Merrill campus) for all Cory families. We will ask families to register so we can plan waves for social distancing, but there is no fee.
Although we have had a mixed up hybrid year with remote and in person learning, we have been able to make some amazing memories! The yearbook this year is a great way to connect, enjoy our successes and be able to look back at what a crazy year this has been!. Please order via the link below and pay no later than May 8th. Payment can be completed through Venmo or drop a check/cash off in the office. Payments can be sent via your child.
