Coyote Tales

I want to thank all of our Corron families that were able to join us for our McTeacher Night last night. It was such a fun event, and it was very well attended! Students seemed to love seeing some of their teachers working in the various positions. Thank you also to our teachers who took time out of their busy schedules to work the drive thru, make ice cream cones, deliver food, and sell pies. A special shout-out to the staff at McDonald’s - they were so helpful and were very impressed with the community involvement from Corron.

Our event raised $535 just from the apple pie donations! We also received 20% of the sales of the evening which totaled $916!

Kindergarten Virtual Enrollment for 24-25 School Year (Information coming)

Earlier this school year, some fourth-grade Coyotes made a presentation to the PTO regarding the potential acquisition of a Gaga Ball pit for school use. The proposal aimed to introduce Gaga Ball as an additional recess activity, emphasizing its inclusivity and the exciting opportunities it offers for active play. Children are likely to find it highly engaging, with its quick action and fast turnover. Due to the cost of materials required for the Gaga Ball pit and installation, the Student Council recognizes the financial aspect and is eager to help support this cause. So, we’ve planned Class Color Day on Friday, February 2nd. Wear your class color and donate to the Gaga Ball pit! Cash donations will be accepted at school that day, but we also encourage the use of this live PTO QR code to make an online donation. Thank you for your support!

Class Colors

As we embark on the season of planning for the 2024-2025 school year, an identification process is underway for accelerated placement for next year’s 4th, 5th and 6th graders. Here is some helpful information:

• All 3rd grade students are automatically considered for potential placement in Academically Talented (AT) Math and AT ELA programming. You do not need to request it. However, you can reach out to ask questions about the process anytime using the contact information below.
  
  

• 5th grade students are also automatically considered for potential placement in an additional Accelerated Math Pathway that starts in middle school. This pathway provides for the completion of Algebra before entering high school by allowing students to complete more than one grade level of math in 6th grade and 7th grade.
  
  

• 5th grade students who are currently in our AT programming may be identified for potential placement in the Infinity Gifted Program at the middle school level. These students may take part in additional testing in February. Parents will be informed in advance if additional testing is requested.
  
  

• Families of students who are identified for placement in our AT Math, AT ELA, Infinity Gifted or Accelerated Math programming will be informed by March 1.
  
  

I am happy to talk through questions and explain programming further. Please reach out anytime!
