Our 2024-2025 school year is off to a great start! Students seem excited to be back at Corron with their teachers and friends. They have transitioned right back into the swing of things, following our Corron Expectations of “Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Responsible, and Be You!”. They are practicing the routines of their learning in their new classrooms as well. We’ve had some curriculum changes happen over the past two years, and we are seeing a positive impact in regards to student learning. Our teachers look forward to partnering with our families on this journey. Weekly newsletters are one way teachers share the work students engage in throughout the year. Our Curriculum Night on September 10th is another opportunity to learn about grade level standards and expectations as well as get to know your child’s teacher. Please plan on joining us that evening. Teachers will be providing two sessions to attend. Parents can choose the session that works best for them. We will also be providing child care for our K-5 students (no younger siblings, unfortunately) in the LRC with some fun activities for them to engage in while parents are in classrooms.

Corron Picture Day (see info below)

This year, D303 Elementary Schools are transitioning from the informal open house format of the past few years to a more structured Curriculum Night. Moving to formal teacher presentations will allow our parents to stay informed regarding our curriculum as well to learn about what a typical elementary day looks like. It will also give parents and teachers an opportunity to connect and discuss any questions regarding our curriculum and expectations. (Note: This will not be an evening where parents will be able to talk to the teacher regarding their individual child. Conferences will be held on October 10th and 11th.) Each grade level will present the same presentation twice. This will allow parents to choose a session to attend as well as give them the ability to attend multiple grade levels if they have more than one child at Corron.

This is an event for parents only. We recognize that childcare may be a challenge for some families. Our Corron staff will be providing supervision and activities for any students attending Corron (K-5) for that evening. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for children that do not attend Corron as a student.

We hope to see you all there!!
