Cory Fine Arts Update

Warmest thanks go out to the families who donate to the PTA each year that permits us to organize professional performing arts experiences for all of the children at Cory!

This past year has included:  a bus trip downtown by the 4th and 5th graders to hear the Colorado Symphony perform, a field trip with 2nd /3rd graders to see the Chihuly art exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens, a play performed by the Buntport Theater Company for the entire school, a field trip to the Mizel Theater for the first graders to see a play that included a backstage tour, a dance performance by Wonderbound for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders, and a performance by Opera Colorado for the entire school.

The fine arts committee strives to enrich our children’s lives and provide them with a variety of world class experiences and performances. Thanks again for Cory’s continued support of the arts!

+Pass End-of-Year Reminders for Schools, Students & Parents

As the end of the school year approaches, the transportation team has some important reminders and essential information for school staff members, students and parents regarding +PassBus

  • Students:
    • Don’t lose your +Pass over the summer! In order to ride the school bus next year, students will need to have their +Pass. Just like a backpack and DPS student ID, students should keep their +Pass in a safe place over the summer so they can find it and have it ready for next school year.
  • Families:
    • Family Support Matters: The success of the +Pass program requires a collaborative effort from transportation, students, schools and families. Every student who is eligible to ride the school bus will be required to have a +Pass to ride the yellow school bus starting in 2015-16. Please help us remind students to store their +Pass in a safe place over the summer so they will have it for next year. For information on this program, visit http://transportation.dpsk12.org/pass.

Updated Information: If families have a change of address or phone number, it needs to be updated with your school’s front office in Infinite Campus. Letters regarding transportation eligibility are sent out each summer in July and rely on the accuracy of this information.

Did You Know? Families can access students’ bus information and see their +Pass usage in the DPS Parent Portal. To get access to this, please contact your school front office.
