The Corley Cheer: Community Edition
July-August
Welcome Back!
Greetings Corley Parents,
Welcome to Corley Elementary! I am Mrs. Aleshia Duckworth, and I am truly honored to serve as your principal this school year. Our dedicated staff and I are committed to providing your children with a world-class education that sets them up for academic success.
Our theme this year is "IMPACT" because we are working with you to make a positive impact on each and every student at Corley Elementary. This includes academically, socially, and emotionally.
Thank you for making Corley Elementary such an awesome place for our students to learn! At Corley Elementary, we believe in supporting the whole child, and we achieve this through engaging teaching practices. Our curriculum focuses on the Science of Reading, Balanced Numeracy, and inquiry-based Science and Social Studies lessons. We understand that each child is unique, and we aim to foster their growth and development in a nurturing environment.
In addition to our comprehensive academic program, we are proud to offer a wide range of Specials courses that enrich your child's learning experience. From Social Emotional Learning to Art, Music, Theatre, Physical Education, Computer Science, STEM, and Health, we aim to provide a well-rounded education.
Throughout the school year, we will organize various community events, fostering a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. We also offer a plethora of clubs and extracurricular activities, ensuring that every student has opportunities for exploration and personal growth.
Proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Aleshia Duckworth
