Please take some time to review the 2024-25 Middle School Handbook. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cMch8Jr2RF78XM7xat8FdcfG0S9FAOAqw8ESDW4uPkk/edit. It is filled with useful information such as our Code of Conduct, attendance policies and information on a variety of topics. If you have any questions, please contact the middle school office. Students will receive a hard copy on the first day of school.

Attending school daily is one of the key factors in your child's academic success. Students who have perfect attendance will be invited to attend a special breakfast at the end of the first semester and will be entered into a special raffle sponsored by the PBIS Committee. More information to follow. Stay tuned!

At the beginning of each school year, the district provides information to families on how their child did on the recent New York State Assessments. Our district goals center around the desire for each student to meet proficiency levels in the following core subjects; ELA, Math and Science. Please review this information with your child. If you would like additional information on these reports, please reach out to your child's teacher.

For the second year, all students will have access to free breakfast and lunch. Families can access our school menus on the district website or at www.myschoolmenus.com.

Hello families! My name is Eryn DuMoulin and I am incredibly excited to continue my journey here in Corinth as the Assistant Principal of the Middle/High School and the K-12 MTSS Coordinator. Many of you may know me from the Elementary School where I previously taught both 5th and 2nd grade, served as the Instructional Math Coach/AIS math teacher, was a member of the MTSS Committee, and continue to be the Vice President of the C.A.R.E Committee.

Prior to working in the education field, I worked in a role assisting high-needs youth. I enjoyed helping them find their way through whatever challenges they faced and am excited to partner with the students and families of the Corinth Middle School community to assist them in overcoming adversity as well. I believe that partnership is the root of success and very much look forward to building deeper relationships with the students and families of the Middle School to foster student growth.

On a personal note, I am a Corinth graduate and reside in the district raising my two children. I have been an active member in coaching youth sports, including cheerleading and softball. My children participate in various sports, so I look forward to rooting for our teams alongside other parents. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, spending the majority of my time outside with my family and pets. We spend much of our free time in the Adirondacks at our family cabin.

Please utilize me as a resource for your students and family. Let's work together to help our Riverhawks succeed!
