Correia Middle School News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am excited to invite you to our next Coffee with the Principal on Thursday, March 13, from 8:10 to 9:00 AM. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow parents and learn more about our school’s initiatives.

During this session, we will discuss next year's 4X4 schedule and the implications for our budget.

I hope to see many of you there!

Warm regards,

Kyle Kupper
