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
As we head into the last 5 weeks of our ‘20-’21 school year, we are starting to plan some of our traditional end of year activities. We want our Corron students to enjoy bonding with their classmates and teachers as the year winds down. We also need to make sure that we are following all guidelines and that we can have students participate in these traditional activities in a safe manner. Our staff is working to plan field day as well as a few other events during the last weeks of school. Please be on the lookout for information about what these activities will look like and how parents can support us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment.
As always, thank you for your support!
