Corron Mission Statement
From the Principal
Our last round of IAR data to share is our 5th graders from last year. Demonstrating strong academic achievement, students reached 77.1% proficiency in ELA and 70.5% proficiency in Math. 5th grade students also take the Illinois Science Assessment in the Spring of each year. While they didn’t perform as well on this assessment, we had a considerably higher score from the previous school year. Much of this growth is likely due to the instructional shifts our STEM teachers made based on last year’s results.
While these students have moved on to middle school, our fifth grade team and specialists have spent a considerable amount of time analyzing this data to determine where instruction needs to shift based on trends. This is the work teachers do every year with all of our data in order to ensure all students make the growth they deserve.

Corron Bookfair Appreciation
Thank you to all the students and families who supported our bookfair last week! As a result, the Corron LRC will receive over $2,500 in new books for the library!
We could not have done it without the support of our Corron community and our AMAZING volunteers:
Rosa Byrd, Angela Caruso, Veronika Chiflikli, Sofia Cordera-Pati, Alice Froemling, Sofia Garbenis, Amy Grzeskiewicz, Danelle Harpling, Sarah Kant, Tristan Kuhr, Becca Lentz, Tonia Panzarino, Kathy Sanchez, Samantha Siano, Marissa Salvador, Christa Susai, Archana Thakkar, Jacie Tietz, and Laura Weaver.
Thank you! We hope you and your families have been enjoying the books!
Halloween
All celebrations will be held on Friday, October 30th. Classes will participate in our traditional Halloween parade starting at 2:00 followed by classroom parties.
Parents are welcome to view the parade outside by standing at the perimeter of the playground or on the south lawn (students will need to walk on the sidewalk).
All day K-5 students will wear their costumes in the afternoon only, so please make sure your child can get into his or her costume easily. Please do not send your child in full face make-up, as they will be engaging in learning throughout the rest of their school day.
Please remember that students are not allowed to bring replicas of weapons as part of their costumes. We also ask that students tone down anything that might scare our younger students (blood, etc.).
Costume masks will be allowed for the parade, but not during the classroom parties.
Just a reminder that food is not at parties. Please do not send in treats for your child to pass out.
After School Enrichment
Veteran's Day
On Wednesday, November 11th, starting at 2:00pm, Corron Elementary School will host a Veterans Day assembly to celebrate those individuals who have given so much for the freedom we enjoy. Our 5th grade students will lead our assembly to honor the veterans within our Corron community.
We need your help to honor our veteran family members who have served in two ways:
1. We invite our veterans to come to Corron to enjoy our school assembly and receive a special treat in appreciation.
2. We also ask families to submit information and photos to be part of a slideshow of our community veterans.
If you are interested in a veteran attending the assembly and/or being a part of the slideshow, please complete THIS FORM, which must be submitted by Monday, November 2nd. (Please note: This is the last day we can accept entries in order to ensure we have the supplies and slideshow ready for the celebration.)
