We are so excited to welcome our students for the 2025-2026 school year! Teachers have been busy preparing their classrooms and learning spaces over these past few days.
Below is some information that may be helpful as we launch the new school year.
Supply Drop-Off Event
All students and families are invited to drop off school supplies and to meet classroom teachers on Monday, August 11th from 4:00-6:00 pm.
I encourage you to follow the schedule below. This will assist us in meeting your needs in a timely manner and should cut down on the crowds in classrooms, as well as congestion in our parking lot. However, please understand you are welcome to come anytime between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm if you have a scheduling conflict.
For our families that are new to Corron, staff members will be offering guided tours of the building, where they can answer any questions you may have.
4:00-5:00 pm - Last names beginning with A - I
4:30-5:30 pm - Last names beginning with J - Q
5:00-6:00 pm - Last names beginning with R - Z
Arrival and dismissal procedures
First Day of School: Students will enter the building on their own when they are dropped off on the first day. They can enter through the front doors or through door 8 by the playground. Most students should know their way to their classrooms due to attending supply drop-off, but we will have plenty of staff members on hand to assist as needed.
Supervision for drop off begins at 8:50 each school day, so please do not arrive before that time.
Daily Arrival: Students will be able to enter the building through 2 locations this year. These locations are the front door (#1) and the door by the back playground (#8). Families can choose the drop off location that works best for them. Students will be allowed to enter the building at 8:50 and will head down to their classrooms at that point. There will be adult assistance for the first few weeks for students who need help finding their way. Supervision will begin at 8:50, so please do not drop off your child before that time.
Front parking lot: this will continue to be a drive up area where parents remain in their cars and drop students off in the unloading zone. Students can exit the car in the areas that have a yellow painted curb. There will be staff members present each day to help move traffic along. The bus circle is reserved for buses only.
Back of building: Parents are allowed to park in the Park District lot and walk their child to the sidewalk. There is no drive up lane to drop and go, as this causes unsafe conditions.
Daily Pick Up: Our Kindergarten and 1st grade classes will be exiting at the front of the building. All other grade levels will exit from door 23 (south side by the field). Your child’s teacher may send a specific dismissal door for their class based on their location. Parents can meet their children near any of these areas. For our K-2 students, please let your child’s teacher know how your child will be getting home and/or who will be picking them up. If you need to change your child’s plans for dismissal, please email the teacher and then call the office so we can ensure that we know about the change.
Pick up is at 3:25 - there is no after-school supervision provided once dismissal ends.
There are no dogs allowed on school property during drop-off or pick up.
Assistant Principal
I am excited to share that we will be adding a part-time Assistant Principal to our staff this year. Mrs. Taryn Raiman will be splitting her time between Corron and Anderson Schools, supporting students and staff as an administrator. Below is a short introduction from her. We are excited to have the additional support!
Dear Corron Families,
I’m thrilled to join the Corron community as your new Assistant Principal. This is my 14th year in District 303, where I’ve served in several roles supporting students and staff. I live in St. Charles with my husband and our two daughters, Emery (6th grade at Wredling) and Mila (2nd grade at Norton Creek). I’m so grateful to both live and work in this wonderful community. I look forward to a great year ahead and getting to know your amazing kids!
Warmly,
Taryn Raiman
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns between now and the start of school!
