Dear McCorkle Parents and Guardians,

On Behalf of McCorkle Academy faculty and staff, I would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. We are so excited to get the year started. Your administrative team consists of myself, Deanna Harris, Principal, Amy Cannon, Assistant Principal and Scott Rodman, Assistant Principal.

Join us for Meet Your Teacher night, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, from 5:00p.m. to 7:00p.m. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. You will be able to meet your child 's teacher and find their classrooms. Attached to the email you will find general grade level supply lists. If a teacher needs something else, they will hand out a supply list specific to their class. We do have a clear/see through backpack policy. Each student should have their own water bottle. We now have water bottle refill stations instead of water fountains.

School starts Thursday, August 1 at 9:10 a.m. for all students. Students may be dropped off on campus between 8:30 a.m. and 9:10 at the far North Gate. Breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. We are incredibly lucky at McCorkle as any child who wants to eat gets free breakfast and lunch at our site.

Elementary students are dismissed at 3:25 and middle school students at 4:15p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Each Wednesdays, elementary students are dismissed at 2:25 p.m. middle school students will be dismissed at 3:15 p.m. and Parent pick up is at the North Gate and walkers exit out the southeast gate on Ingresso at the east end of the bus bay. Parents, please help us by parking in the school parking lot or the overflow parking on the dirt lot on the corner of Ingresso/Mission. Please do not park in the trailer parks or the property just by the McCorkle concrete sign on Mission as all of these are private property. Please do not pick up your children at the gates on Ingresso. This is not a drive-up area for pick up. Do plan extra time the first few days for parent pick up as everyone gets used to the procedures in place. Your help during these times allows us to get your children out safely.

McCorkle Academy is a green school and most communication will come via emails in Synergy and Parent Link calls/emails/texts. Updates may be found on our Facebook page and our school website during the school year. Please make sure that your emails and phone numbers are up to date on your Parent Vue account in Synergy. This will help ensure that school communication reaches you.

We look forward to seeing you next week. We cannot wait to get started. We are honored to work with your children at our amazing school. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, contact me by email.

Sincerely,

Deanna Harris

Principal
