Corinth Middle School

Hello Corinth Families! We're half way through the summer and I hope everyone has been enjoying the great weather. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the middle school office at 518-654-9005.

We are very excited for the start of a new school year and we are hopeful your child is ready for an amazing and academically challenging year. With that in mind, the middle school will again offer our Preparation-Ice Cream Celebration contest! Students who dedicate 50+ hours of learning over the summer will be provided an outdoor ice cream party during the first or second week of school. Parents are asked to send in a signed note with their child on the first day of school stating that their child met the 50 hour requirement . Students are encouraged to read books/novels or visit educational websites.

Good luck and thank you again for your commitment to student achievement!!!

On August 30th, we are planning an amazing 5th Grade/New Student Orientation

event at Corinth Middle School. Information regarding this special event will be mailed out to families and posted to our district website this week. Stay tuned!!!
