MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Happy Friday! We look forward to virtually seeing you all at the auction this Saturday at 6:00! Although we will miss celebrating together, we can still come together to show and share gratitude for another successful but strange end of year. 

As another school year ends, I want to take the opportunity to thank the Cory Community for your unwavering support for students, staff and community.  I appreciate the strong Cory community that rallies around and supports each other in compassionate and empathetic ways.  Thank you for all the amazing work you have done to support Cory and your children during remote learning.  I would also like to thank our students who persevered through challenges with online learning, not seeing their friends everyday, and having fun opportunities taken away.  Our Cory students are heroes for overcoming these huge challenges. Great work kiddos!

Report cards will be able to view on May 29th through parent portal.  As you know, the report cards have been changed and will not have a number grade for each content area, there will only be descriptive feedback given in literacy and math.  However, each grade level has summarized the critical learning for the year and resources to support learning through out the summer if you wish to utilize these resources.  

Here is the following schedule for next week! Each day starts at 8:45 with Ms. Wieser kicking off the day’s events!
