A Message from Ms. Piezas
Hello Corvallis Community,
This week has two 1:30 dismissal days, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday is a professional development day for our teachers. We have a new social studies program to better serve our students.
If your child tells you they have no homework, they are forgetting that reading for 20-30 minutes every night is almost ALWAYS their homework. Homework is a way for students to practice skills they already have at home or complete assignments they did not finish in class. Not every teacher adds additional homework for students. Please note that all classes are run differently. Please speak with your child's teacher if you have questions about their class.
Family Literacy Night with the Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon! If you don't like reading you just haven't found the right book yet. It's out there. Keep searching!
Our Corvallis 2024-2025 Calendar is up on our website.
With love,
M. Piezas

Join PTA
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.
Classroom Donations
All of our classrooms need donations of tissues, cleaning wipes, paper towels, and bandaids.
Absences and Tardies
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.
