| Order 2023-2024 EduKits today! Everything your student needs for the school year comes packaged in one convenient box, customized to your teacher’s requests! Your student’s order will be in their classroom on the first day of school. This is a fundraiser for Cory Elementary and is also more economical and easier than running around to different stores to purchase all of the various items. Complete your order now at https://www.edukitinc.com/schools/329/. Here is some additional information to make ordering easier: Order the grade level kit for your child. If you have headphones at home to send on the first day of school, you do not need to purchase headphones. For 3rd-5th graders, please buy a recorder if you do not have one to send on the first day of school. Incoming 4th and 5th graders do not need to purchase a recorder if you already have one at Cory from the previous year. Disinfectant Wipes: When ordering, please select a quantity of 3 or send 3 containers of wipes on the first day of school. While this item is requested, it is appreciated by all teachers as they wipe down tables and desks on a daily basis. Reams of copy paper: When ordering, please select a quantity of 2. You can also send in 2 reams of copy paper separately on the first week of school. This is very helpful for the staff as they plan engaging activities for inside the classroom, and they send home extra resources. Please reach out Michelle Shamis at Michelle_Shamis@dpsk12.net if you have any questions about ordering school supplies. |
Registration has been extended to May 26th.

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 8-26.
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

Congratulations to Cory 4th grader Milo Killermeyer. Milo’s film was also accepted into the film competition and his film will be shown on the big screen Monday! Very fun that we have 2 Cory students that will be in the showing!
Here’s the movie if you’re interested. The requirements were that it was 60 seconds long, and on the theme of “bigness.”

Due to the ever changing weather, the lost and found has quickly filled up. It is very difficult to identify and find something that was lost when it is swimming in such a huge sea of sweatshirts, coats, hats and gloves. Thus, we are going to try something new. Most of the lost and found has been bagged up and placed in the back of the auditorium. All parents are welcome to come and look through that bag if they are trying to find something that is lost. We will keep that bag for a couple of weeks so that there is ample time for parents to come and look through it. After a couple of weeks, the bag will be donated to families in need. If you would like your student to look through the bag, tell them to come and talk to Mr. Conklin and I will help them look through it. Thanks so much and please message me directly if you have any questions.
