Corron Mission Statement
From the Principal
Next Thursday we will be hosting our first Corron LAMPE day. This is replacing the Field Day that we have traditionally hosted for students. This day will involve activities focused on Library, Art, Music, PE and Empower. Our team is excited about the shift in the event to include the arts. Classes will travel to different locations throughout the day. We are looking for 8-12 volunteers for the morning and 4-6 for the afternoon to support the PE activities on the soccer field. Mr. Benson and Mr. Sportsman will plan and organize the activities with parents facilitating as grade levels rotate through. If you would be interested in helping out, please contact Mrs. Bedenbaugh in the front office at Jamie.Bedenbaugh@d303.org. We will only be able to allow up to 18 volunteers. All parents are welcome to come watch the students in action during their time engaging the PE events. Teachers will share those times in a class communication sometime in the next few days.

Summer learning
Corron Community Showcase
In an attempt to build additional positive connections between Corron and our community, we’d like to provide students with additional learning experiences through a “Corron Community Showcase”. This will occur during lunch hours (11:00-1:00). We are looking for adult volunteers to present!
Some showcase ideas may include:
a special or hidden talent
a skill
a musical performance
a “how-to” lesson
teaching about your career
teaching about a culture or special holiday
The options are endless! Your creativity is welcome!
From 11:00-1:00 you would be presenting a 6-10 minute showcase that would be repeated for each grade level lunch. If you are interested, please fill out this form and someone will be in contact with you! If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Bedenbaugh @
jamie.bedenbaugh@d303.org or 331-228-6900.
View Notification Preferences/Enable Text Messages
District 303 will send notifications to families through the ParentLink system by text message, phone call and email based on your settings. Parents/guardians can view and edit their contact settings through the Home Access Center.
To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages. Here’s how:
- From the HAC main menu, select the “registration” tab to view your contact settings
- Select the “edit” button to change your contact settings
- To enable text message notifications, enter your cell phone number in the SMS/text message field
- Select the “save” button
From the Health Office
Students who present to the Health Office with a fever and/or feeling poorly are sent home. To prevent widespread illness in school, we recommend that your child stay home from school if experiencing flu or cold symptoms. To decide whether or not to send your child to school, please consider the following guidelines:
CONSIDER KEEPING YOUR CHILD AT HOME for an extra day of rest and observation if he or she has any of the following symptoms:
Very stuffy or runny nose and/or cough
Mild sore throat (no fever, no known exposure to strep)
Headache
Mild stomach ache
DEFINITELY KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME for treatment and observation if he or she has any of these symptoms:
Fever (greater than 100 degrees)
Vomiting (even once)
Diarrhea
Chills
General malaise or feelings of fatigue
Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough
Lots of nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose
TO HELP PREVENT THE FLU AND OTHER COLDS, teach your children good hygiene habits:
Wash hands frequently
Do not touch eyes, nose or mouth
Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, use a paper tissue, throw it away and then wash hands
Avoid close contact with people who are ill
Colds and viruses are the most contagious during the first 48 hours. A child who has a fever should remain at home until "fever free" and for a minimum of 24 hours. A child who has started antibiotics needs to be on medication for at least 24 hours before he/she is considered non-contagious and able to return to school. Keeping your ill child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom!
Thank you in advance for helping make this year at school as healthy as possible.
