Cory Caregivers,

Thank you to everyone who attended Back to School Night! It was a joy to meet our new families and warmly welcome back our returning families. Your presence and partnership mean so much to us as we prepare to start the year strong.

Our teachers have been hard at work building aligned rituals and routines across grade levels, and planning engaging and challenging learning opportunities for your children. During the first week, we will focus on creating positive classroom cultures and ensuring alignment with our school-wide expectations and values.

We are excited about the year ahead and look forward to partnering with you to make it a successful and memorable one for all our students. In the coming weeks, our CMAS data will be fully released, and I will share our progress and instructional goals.
