Corron Mission Statement
From the Principal
Our theme at Corron this year is “We Are Better Together”. Tuesday’s Halloween festivities are a testament to this motto. So many people came together to ensure that students had a successful and fun day. Our PTO coordinated volunteers to support at each grade level, parents came in to help out in each classroom, and staff jumped in to support our first 4th/5th combined party since 2019. In spite of the wintery weather, students loved the parade and smiled throughout the afternoon, which was the most important thing. We truly are better together as a Corron community!

Parent Education Sessions
District 303 is pleased to present its lineup of Parent Education sessions for the 2023-2024 school year.
The Parent Education series (formerly Parent University) includes informational meetings and workshops intended to empower parents and guardians to support their children’s academic, social and emotional needs. Become informed on specialized topics, engage in two-way dialogue with speakers and fellow parents, and become a support resource for others.
Sessions for this school year will focus on bullying prevention, addressing anxiety, and include film screenings and discussions about the impact of screen time and cultural awareness. The schedule also includes college preparation workshops hosted by our high schools. Sessions were selected based in part on feedback from District 303 parents.
Explore the full lineup of sessions here. Signup forms for each session will be made available closer to the session dates. New this year, you can also register for Parent Education notifications and receive alerts as new information and session recaps become available.
