Cortina Elementary School

CURRICULUM NIGHT IS TOMORROW NIGHT
We hope you'll join us for Curriculum Night tomorrow on August 6th! This is a valuable opportunity to learn about your child's classroom and what to expect throughout the school year.
During the evening, teachers will share:
• 📖 What students will be learning this year
• 📝 Homework and classroom expectations
• 🤝 Ways families can support learning at home
• ❓ Opportunities to ask questions and connect with your child's teacher

A strong partnership between home and school helps students thrive, and we look forward to seeing our Tiger families on August 6th!

📚✨ We love welcoming special guests into our classrooms!

Yesterday, Principal Orr was the Mystery Reader in Ms. Borin's 2nd grade class! The students had so much fun trying to guess who was behind the book before the big reveal. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and excitement as Principal Orr shared the joy of reading with our Tigers.

Thank you, Ms. Borin, for making reading such a fun and memorable experience. Building a love of reading and creating special moments like these is what makes our Tiger family so amazing! 🐯🧡📖

🐯🖤 Building Strong Connections Beyond CTA! 🧡🐾

Principal Orr and Assistant Principal Peper had the opportunity to visit Sossaman Middle School and spend some time with Principal Potts to continue building strong connections with one of our feeder schools.

Partnering with Sossaman helps ensure a smooth transition for our Tigers as they move on to middle school. By working together and building positive relationships now, we can better support our students and families every step of the way.

We're proud to partner with Sossaman and look forward to continuing this great collaboration!

🐯🚓 Community Connections in Action! 🚓🐯

Building positive relationships and promoting safety are an important part of our Tiger community! We were excited to welcome Officer Vasquez from the Queen Creek Police Department to CTA on Friday.

Officer Vasquez visited multiple classrooms, answered students' questions, shared important safety tips, and was greeted with lots of smiles and plenty of high-fives! Thank you, Officer Vasquez, for taking the time to connect with our students and help make our school community stronger and safer.
