The Corley Cheer: Community Edition
Week Of July 11th-July 15th
Welcome Back!
Greetings Corley Parents,
Thank you for making Corley Elementary such an awesome place for our students to learn! Welcome to Corley Elementary! I am Mrs. Aleshia Duckworth, and I am truly honored to serve as your principal this school year. Our dedicated staff and I are committed to providing your children with a world-class education that sets them up for academic success.
At Corley Elementary, we believe in supporting the whole child, and we achieve this through engaging teaching practices. Our curriculum focuses on the Science of Reading, Balanced Numeracy, and inquiry-based Science and Social Studies lessons. We understand that each child is unique, and we aim to foster their growth and development in a nurturing environment.
In addition to our comprehensive academic program, we are proud to offer a wide range of Specials courses that enrich your child's learning experience. From Social Emotional Learning to Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education, Computer Science, STEM, and Health, we aim to provide a well-rounded education.
Throughout the school year, we will organize various community events, fostering a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. We also offer a plethora of clubs and extracurricular activities, ensuring that every student has opportunities for exploration and personal growth.
Our theme for the 2022-2023 school year is "Building the Bridge With Belonging," where we will embark on a journey from empathy to excellence. This theme builds upon last year's theme of "Belonging Begins With Us," emphasizing the importance of fostering a supportive and welcoming community.
We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and support from our wonderful community. Corley Elementary is truly a special place, and I am excited to embark on this educational journey with you and your children. Together, let us create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
Proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Aleshia Duckworth

As we embrace our new theme for this year, "Building the Bridge," we will continue our journey from last year's theme of "Belonging Begins With Us." Our focus remains on fostering a supportive environment where every student feels valued and included. Additionally, we are committed to Family Engagement, as we recognize the vital role parents and guardians play in their child's educational journey.
I am immensely grateful for each and every one of you. Corley Elementary is an extraordinary place because of the unwavering dedication and passion of our staff, students, and families. Together, let us embark on this journey towards even greater success. I can't wait to see the incredible accomplishments we will achieve together this year.
