Coyote Tales
May 23, 2024
Corron Mission Statement
From the Principal
It is so hard to believe that we are winding down the 23-24 school year. Our students have grown so much and in so many ways over these past nine months. It is always amazing to watch them change as learners and as people over the years. Our graduating 5th grade class was my first kindergarten class here at Corron. I still remember their sweet little 5 year old faces on the first day of school that year! I’m so proud of the people they have become, and I look forward to seeing the amazing things they do in middle school and high school.
Next week is full of fun for our students, with “MAPLE” Day on Tuesday and the 5th grade picnic on Wednesday. I know classroom teachers have activities planned throughout the week as well. The last few days of school are always bittersweet, both for staff and students. Most look forward to the change in routine that summer brings, but it is also sad to walk away from the school family that they have been with for the entire school year. There are always tears on that last day!
I hope every Corron family has a wonderful summer. We will miss our families that are not returning, whether because of a graduating 5th grader or because they are moving on to another school. As we tell our students, “Once a Coyote, Always a Coyote”!

From the Health Office
This is a reminder to please come to the school to pick up your child’s medication by the last day of school.
Any medications not picked up by 3p on Thursday, May 30th will be discarded. Per D303 policy, we are unable to keep medication in the health office over the summer for re-use in the fall. Students may not transport medications, including over-the-counter medications. All medications must be picked up by a parent or adult designee with parent permission.
If you anticipate your child needing medication or an action plan at school next year, the required forms can be found on the D303 website or through the links below.
