Hello Corvallis Community,

It's almost May! May is full of work hard and play hard. We will be making our final pushes to get ready to level up. We will also be celbrating and having a bit of fun. Keep an eye out for PTA announcements.

Don't forget Friday the school will be closed.

Our Corvallis Beautification Day was rained out. It has been rescheduled to May 18th! I'll keep reminding you. 😃

The Californa Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAAASPP) will be given to all third, fourth and fifth graders in May. Our site testing window is May6-May 24th. Your child will not be testing all of those days. Check with your child's teacher for the days they will be testing. The test is an important one and one that we encourage our students to show how much they've learned. This assessment is not meant to create a stressful situation. We only ask that studnets try their best. Parents can help by making sure studnets get enough rest the nights before testing. We have free breakfast at school for any students who don't eat at home. If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher or to me.

Have a wonderful week,

M. Piezas

We need more PTA members! We've all enjoyed the events this year. In order for these events to keep happening we need new and more PTA members. Worried about your language skills? Not a problem, we will work that out. Our students tend to play together during the meetings, so feel free to bring them along. You can email corvalliselementarypta@gmail.com for more information.

Every school day is a day of learning for our students. It's important that students are in class on time and ready to learn. Our students line up at 8:33 and are in classrooms at 8:35.

Students entering the building from 8:35-8:45 will be greeted by our staff and given a tardy slip to take to class. After 8:45 students will report to the office to obtain a tardy slip.

If your child will not attend school on a particular day you may email cor.att@slzusd.org or call 510-317-4999. Please leave a voice mail. Our office checks it several times a day.

Many of our students suffer anxiety. As a parent, I know how helpless we can feel when our children are suffering. Here is an article that talks about some things parents can do at home. Please reach out to your child's teacher to discuss your concerns. We want to help you and your child work through the anxiety and enjoy school.

Ever think to yourself, I need a new Corvallis sweatshirt? Or my child is new to Corvallis and really wants a t-shirt? We have an online store front. The items are shipped directly to you and part of the proceeds go directly to Corvallis Elementary.

There are some super cute designs, so take a look!
