Corron Mission Statement

Corron is a safe, warm and inviting community where all are valued and empowered. We celebrate growth. Clear evidence highlights the impact we have academically, socially and emotionally.

From the Principal

Students have been working in class the past weeks to set goals for academics as well as for learner behaviors. Involving students in their own goal setting and conferences is a powerful way to give them ownership over their own learning. Having students engaged in their conferences is also a great way to demonstrate for them that their teacher and their parents work together as a team to help them be successful at school. These conference days are some of the most positive days of our school year!

If you haven’t had the chance to sign up for a time for your child’s conference, please remember to do so by Monday, October 2nd. I look forward to seeing all of our families!

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.
