Birthday Celebrations
We know that birthdays are important to every child and that our Corley Patriots like to celebrate with their classmates. Parents may send treats for the students in the class of their child who has a birthday. Treats may be provided only if they are consistent with the following guidelines:
- Birthday's can only be celebrated during lunch.
- Treats are to be in individual servings needing no cutting and limited to one item (e.g., cupcakes, individual cookies, or other prepackaged individual snacks)
- Balloons, candles, flowers, party favors, goody bags, or any other things that will disrupt the instructional day are not permitted.
We look forward to sharing your special day!
Read To Achieve Parade and School Wide Cook-Out Reminders
Corley's Annual Read to Achieve Parade and School Wide Cook-Out has been moved to Friday, October 4th at 9:30 AM. NOTE: This is later than originally scheduled due to the extreme heat.
Parents are welcome to attend and line up on the sidewalk outside the school starting at 9:15am. Our parade will end by 10:15. Students will have lunch at their regular class time. Parents will need to go through the visitor check-in process to stay for lunch.
Due to limited seating for the cookout, parents will not be allowed to wait at the tables or in the cookout area until their child's lunch time. If the class time will be 11:15 or later, we suggest parents leave after the parade and return for lunch.
SCHOOL MESSENGER UPDATE (Callouts)
Due to some recent text/call regulation changes by the FCC, Gwinnett County Public Schools is no longer able to use text/call messaging services to distribute information to parents. This includes texts and "robo calls" from GCPS School Messenger as well as third party text reminders like Remind.
At this time, please ensure we have an email address on file that you regularly check. We will use weekly eNews Patriot Post, email, our school website, eClass, Class DoJo as ways to communicate.
