Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!
Principal's Pen
Dear H. E. Corley Elementary School Families,
I hope this message finds you well and that you have enjoyed a wonderful summer break. As we prepare to embark on a new academic year, I am thrilled to welcome both new and returning families to H. E. Corley Elementary School.
Our dedicated team of educators has been working diligently to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive. We are committed to fostering a community of respect, inclusion, and academic excellence.
Communication and collaboration between home and school are vital to the success of our students. We encourage you to stay connected with us through our school newsletter, social media channels, school website, and weekly emails and phone blasts. Additionally, our doors are always open for any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may have. Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of our staff at any time.
To kick off the school year, we invite you to join us for our Crocodile Countdown on Tuesday, August 6th from 4:30-6pm. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet our teachers, tour the school, drop off your school supplies, meet with the School Nurse, and see friends. We will also have Kona Ice on site for purchase.
We are confident that this school year will be filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences for all our students. Together, we can make HEC a place where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
Warm regards,
Melanie Harris, Principal
