Early Release/Parent Conferences
Early Release/Parent Conferences are Wednesday, October 23rd and Thursday, October 24th. The buses, car rider, and daycare van riders will be dismissed at 12:45 pm on both days. If you need to change your child’s transportation on these two days, please send in a hand-written note or stop by the front office to speak with Ms. Wright. If your child rides the bus, please make sure someone is home early on these days to meet the bus.
Parent conference time is a great opportunity to meet with your child's teacher to learn about the progress your child is making.
Bus Driver Appreciation Day Monday 10/21
Please join us in thanking our amazing bus drivers for all of their hard work. They are the first faces our Patriots see each morning, and the last they see before they get home.
Thank you to all Berkmar Cluster bus drivers for your dedication, patience and commitment to get our students to and from school safely!
READING is SNOW COOL!
A blizzard of books is headed our way this fall! Corley's Book Fair will be here October 17 - 25th. Come join us for the coolest reading adventure ever.
NEW for 2019! Create a Scholastic eWallet (Book Fair Account) to place a hold on your debit or credit card for your child to spend up to a designated amount. They can shop throughout the week and your card is only charged the amount they spend. For example, if you create an eWallet for $20 with your child’s name, they can spend up to $20 but cannot spend more than $20. You can also create more than one account for each child. Click on the links below for more information about creating a Scholastic eWallet account.
If you would like to send in money with your child, feel free to put in an envelope or baggie with their name, total amount and book fair written on it.

The Book Fair will also be open during Parent-Teacher Conferences. We look forward to seeing you and your family at our Book Fair! Remember, all purchases benefit our school.
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!

Attendance Awareness
According to the Georgia DOE “Data indicates that missing more than five days of school each year, regardless of the cause, begins to impact student academic performance and starts shaping attitudes about school.” Good daily school attendance aligns with our vision, mission and goals for our students. Students who come to school consistently report feeling more connected to their peers and community, develop social skills and friendships, and are more likely to graduate.
Bruster's SOUR APPLE Day
We will have SOUR APPLE flavor on Thursday, October 31st.
