Hello Corvallis Community,

Read Across America Week was so much fun! I was able to read to a few classes. Although, I think reading Change Sings by Amanda Gorman with beautiful illustrations by Loren Long to Ms. Noga's fifth grade class was my favorite. It was uplifting to read about someone young being hopeful for change in our future.

Ramadan begins today!

Ramadan Mubarak for those in our community that celebrate.

Our Family Restorative Practices Night is this Wednesday 5-6 pm. Please see the link below for the Zoom link. There will be Chinese and Spanish translation for the meeting. I hope to see you there!

Have a wonderful week,

M. Piezas

We need more PTA members! We've all enjoyed the events this year. In order for these events to keep happening we need new and more PTA members. Worried about your language skills? Not a problem, we will work that out. Our students tend to play together during the meetings, so feel free to bring them along. You can email corvalliselementarypta@gmail.com for more information.

Every school day is a day of learning for our students. It's important that students are in class on time and ready to learn. Our students line up at 8:33 and are in classrooms at 8:35.

Students entering the building from 8:35-8:45 will be greeted by our staff and given a tardy slip to take to class. After 8:45 students will report to the office to obtain a tardy slip.

If your child will not attend school on a particular day you may email cor.att@slzusd.org or call 510-317-4999. Please leave a voice mail. Our office checks it several times a day.

Many of our students suffer anxiety. As a parent, I know how helpless we can feel when our children are suffering. Here is an article that talks about some things parents can do at home. Please reach out to your child's teacher to discuss your concerns. We want to help you and your child work through the anxiety and enjoy school.

Ever think to yourself, I need a new Corvallis sweatshirt? Or my child is new to Corvallis and really wants a t-shirt? We have an online store front. The items are shipped directly to you and part of the proceeds go directly to Corvallis Elementary.

There are some super cute designs, so take a look!
