Dear Corbett Families and Students,

It’s time to dust off your boots and join us for an exciting Homecoming Week themed Cowboy Carinval! Homecoming invites everyone to celebrate the spirit of our community while honoring the rich traditions that have shaped Corbett over generations. As we come together, let’s share experiences that connect us and highlight what makes Corbett such a special place to attend school.

Shout-out to our dedicated Leadership students! Thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm organizing this year’s festivities. The week offers students many ways to get involved--they can show their spirit through dress-up days, attending games and class competitions, and finishing the week with the Homecoming football game and dance.

During this energizing time, we remind students to look out for each other, plan ahead, and make safe decisions. We are proud of the many ways students represent our school and we look forward to a great week ahead!

Sincerely,

CHS Administration and Staff

Attend Games & Class Competitions:

Attend the Homecoming Dance:

• Starts immediately after the football game (a. 9pm to 11pm)

• Only Corbett HS students can attend and must show their Corbett ID Card (See Mrs. Maehara or Mrs. Childress if you have not yet received your ID card.)

• Cost is Free with ASB sticker or $5 without

A reminder that classes start this week for students participating in Corbett’s Early College partnership with MHCC. Enrolled courses will be visible in the student’s MyMHCC portal. Although scheduling and logistics for Early College are handled by MHCC, Ms. Pekny, Mrs. Maehara, and Mrs. Childress are happy to come alongside students to help them with the process.

If your student is participating in one of our music programs and using a school-provided instrument, please submit the rental fee using the link below. Students are also welcome to bring their own instruments, in which case no school rental fee is required. We also encourage families to rent instruments from music stores if it is within your means to do so (see linked flyers below). This leaves school instruments available for students that are trying a new instrument or need the lower costs of school instrument rental.

No student will be turned away from participation. Please reach out to our music staff or Mrs. Maehara (Assistant Principal) if you need support with instrument acquisition or school rental fees.

A quick message for Seniors and families. We have fielded a few questions regarding what seniors should be doing to prepare for college admissions and financial aid. This is a great time for seniors to be exploring early applications to universities they are considering. The early application process and deadline varies by school. For example, U of O and OSU have early app deadlines of November 1st and University of Portland's deadline is December 1st.

Familiarizing oneself with the early application process and even getting started on essay prompts is a great September activity for those anxious to get started with post high school plans. More info will come your way in Homeroom and via Ms. Pekny!

Linked is the Finding and Applying for Scholarships website through Federal Student Aid. It is a good place to start when learning about scholarships.

The Oregon HS Equestrian Team meetings will occur on October 11th and 20th. More information about this great opportunity was shared in the August 29th newsletter. Please reach out to Coach Tackett at corbetthorses@gmail.com or 503-319-6302 if you have questions.
