Cory Caregivers,
Thank you to our amazing community for supporting Cory at the auction—we are so grateful for such a strong and supportive group!
The short week was a busy one filled with wonderful moments. A special thank you to Mrs. Elias for an incredible 1st grade performance. The students were thrilled to showcase their learning and musical talents—it was truly a joy to watch. The 2nd graders had a fun field trip to DU to experience the Musical Explorers performance.
We were disappointed to have to reschedule the spring dance, but we are looking forward to having it on Wednesday, May 13.
All items in the Lost and Found cart will be donated at the end of the day on Friday.
Enjoy the day off tomorrow! Our teachers and staff will be attending trainings at schools across the district and planning together for the last month of the school year.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
Calling all Family and Community Volunteers
We hope you'll join us Friday, May 8th on the black top at 8:15 to be recognized for your commitment to our school and students at our monthly First Friday Assembly!
A Cory alum (and Merrill 7th-grade student) is conducting a project on the cost of youth soccer in our community and access issues in youth sports. If you have a child playing club soccer, please consider completing this anonymous 5-minute survey. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Parent / Caretaker Dashboard:
Please share this link with your families so they can view and order their student’s photos:
https://thebloombeehive.com/cory
On this dashboard, families can:
• View and order their spring individual photos and the 5th grade group
• Contact us directly for any questions or support
Class photos are available for families to view and order, but they're listed under Fall 2025 for them. So, they'll need to view/order them from that separate gallery. Both are available on the picture day dashboard https://thebloombeehive.com/cory.

Medication Pick Up
Dear Parents/Guardians,
All medications and medical equipment must be picked up from the school health office at the end of the school year. Please make a plan with your school nurse or health office staff for pickup.
Medications cannot go home with your student.
Medications will be disposed of if they are not picked up by May 29th at 11:45AM
Summer Programming: If your student is participating in a summer program, parent/guardian must pick up the medication/equipment on the last day of school and bring it to the summer program on the first day.
Medication forms for the upcoming school year can be found on the DPS Nursing website.
If you have any questions, please contact the health office. 720-424-8384, tiffany_stevenson@dpsk12.org

Heelys are not allowed at school! They are not safe at school.
Please do not pull into the parking lot and drop off your child by the fence. You must pull into a parking lot space to drop off your child.
Please pack healthy snacks for the students to eat during the snack break.
On P.E. days, please make sure your child is wearing shoes appropriate for P.E.
Please do not park in the handicap spots unless you have a handicap pass.
Please do not use the small parking lot for pick up or drop off of any students.
Please do not park in the Reserved family spots at any time even after school lets out as families can be picking up students later and have purchased those spots for anytime!
Please do not stop in the middle of the parking lot to drop off kids.
When picking up your student early please give the office a little bit of time to call your student down to leave. We do not pull students before you get here. Please make sure to pick up students by 2:45
