We enjoyed seeing many families on Thursday at Curriculum Night. If you were not able to attend or if you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher. The home-school connection is crucial to student success.
Meet the Corley Counselors!
COVID 19 PARENT RESOURCES
This is an important reminder that students who have any type of sickness symptoms (cold, runny nose, fever, nausea, stomach issues, headaches, body aches, etc.) are not permitted to come to school. These are the same guidelines from last school year. In addition, if you are waiting results from a COVID test, please wait for the results of the test before you return to school.
These important GCPS precautions are for the daily health and safety of our students and staff.
Thank you for your support in this important matter!

The Power of “YET”
If your child becomes frustrated or discouraged, try reassuring and encouraging them by adding in the word “yet.” Example: If your child says, “I don’t know how to do this math problem” try adding the word “yet” to the end of their sentence. Adding the word “yet” encourages a growth mindset and reassures your child that our brains get stronger by trying new and challenging things!
We are asking all families to complete a free and reduced lunch application for the upcoming school year. Our school receives funding for programs based on the number of applications completed.
Corley Processes To Know!
Early Checkout
Parents are asked to call the school 30 minutes prior to requesting early check-out in order to prepare the student. When you arrive to the school please have your Photo ID out and ready to show in the Front Office.
What is the latest time I can check out a student?
To make sure each student gets home safely, if you wish to check your student out, please check him/her out before 2:30 PM.
