Cortland Eagle Express - Emailed every Friday @ 3:30
We send lots of communication home through Harmony throughout the school year. This includes parent notifications about upcoming testing, upcoming events, visits to the nurse, events in the community, reminders that report cards have been published, etc. Please take a minute to make sure your email is up-to-date.
You can login to your Harmony account and update your email under demographic data or you can contact the Cortland office at anytime during the school week and Mrs. Bonita will be happy to update your email for you!
Parents will receive a Friday email reminder if their child's meal account is below $10.
Changing Weather
With the change to colder weather, please remember we send children outside for recess during the winter when the temperature and wind chill is above 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It is highly recommended that children wear hats and coats to school during the cold months.
School Closing / Delay Information
In the event of weather that would close school, we would follow these types of inclement weather days. We will clearly communicate this information using Harmony and Facebook. You can update your contact information on Harmony HERE.

Currently, we have one more built-in snow day available before we transition to a synchronous eLearning day. We will provide more information regarding your child's synchronous eLearning schedule soon. On this day, students will log into Google Classroom according to a schedule provided by the school. At least 50% of the instructional time will be conducted in real-time with their teacher(s).
