Cordley Elementary School

Another Cordley tradition: teachers getting pied by our outgoing 5th graders. What a wild way to celebrate them and their successes.

WOW! Congratulations to this amazing group of graduates! We love having SENIORS return each year for our AVID GRAD WALK to inspire us ALL with their hard work and amazing accomplishments! This year's group included a very special parent who completed her GED and one student who traveled all the way from Newton, KS! Thank you for sharing your success with us! Wishing you every good thing in your future!

At this point, 5th grade Recognition is on for this evening. Please arrive early as we will start promptly at 6pm. We will celebrate these amazing students and then send everyone on their way to get home safely.

Due to the forecast for potentially threatening storms on Monday afternoon and evening, we have initiated a back-up plan for the Cordley 5th Grade Recognition.

A decision will be made on Monday at noon as to whether we will continue with our planned Recognition on Monday at 6pm. If it is postponed, it will take place on Tuesday, May 19th at 5 pm.

At our May assembly, we recognized our Courageous and Creative Cordley Hawks, nominated by adults in the building for being demonstrated champions of these social-emotional traits. Additionally, Mrs. Reed’s class received special recognition for writing and publishing a book on identity, as well as the many Hawks who were featured in the USD 497 art show!

And just like that another Staff Underground Spirit week is over, with Tutus and Tattoo Tuesday, Dress Like a Student Day, and Decades Day!

We also invite graduating SENIORS from ALL the school communities who have joined us and strengthened us over the past several years of changes and school closures. We see you and we are proud of you!! Come celebrate with us!!
