In April 2025, Corbett was notified about the federal government's cancellation of the School-Based Mental Health (SBMH) Grant. Corbett has worked to have the least impact on students as possible. Corbett will now have two full-time counselors who will continue to work alongside Corbett School District's two MESD school psychologists, serving grades K-12. As of December, Corbett's SBMH social workers and counselors took new positions either within the district or outside the district. Corbett truly appreciates their hard work supporting Corbett students under the SBMH Grant. There is a K-12 plan in place to support students in our schools. Corbett principals have been working as a team over the past few months to create an updated schedule for counseling support in the buildings starting January 2026. Please reach out to your building principal if you have any questions.

Corbett Swimming had its first meet at Molalla on 12/5. It was a great first swim meet. Ellen Ciecko took first in her first ever high school event in the 200 Freestyle. Jada Healey and Elen went one and two in the 100 Butterfly. Jada and Zoe Healey went one and two in the 500 Freestyle. Anna Rondema got first in the 100 Breaststroke. All the first-year swimmers put in some great times.

At the Warrenton Tournament we had six wrestlers compete. Four of them placed: Gabriel Smoke placed 1st at 106, Carl Orchard placed 1st at 285, Ryder Loeung placed 3rd at 120, and Richard Bjugan placed 4th at 215.

The Men's Basketball team would like to thank the many Corbett Fan's that came to the Moda Center to cheer for and support them at the Court Of Dreams Game!

Go Cards!

The women’s basketball program held a two day winter youth basketball camp for grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade and 4th through 8th grade. We had 95 campers attend camp, 65 in the younger group and 30 in the older group. The camp was a huge success. Every camper was given a camp t-shirt and we also awarded camper of the day prizes to several campers each day. Thank you to the women’s basketball players for volunteering their first two days of winter break to coach the camp.

The High School Track and Field season won’t officially start until March 2nd, 2026, but preseason workouts are happening now. Join us on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:00-5:00 to get in shape for Track and Field. All abilities and experience are welcome. We’ll meet in the weight room in the gym. See you there.

Conditioning on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30pm. Meet in the gym back hallway.

Your health team at Corbett has been busy with many tasks to make sure the students and staff are staying healthy.

One important task is to check on immunization records and help families know which ones students still need before Exclusion Day on February 25, 2026.

Here are some changes according to the Oregon Health Authority:

• Change #1: Exclusion Day has been moved from the 3rd Wednesday in February to the 4th Wednesday in February.

• Change #2: Physicians will fill out a form rather than write a letter for a medical exemption.

• Change #3: Children who have a history of varicella (chickenpox) disease will need health care provider verification or lab test instead of parent verification.

“Some people choose not to vaccinate for personal, religious, or philosophical reasons and they can claim a nonmedical exemption to some or all immunizations. To claim a nonmedical exemption for children in child care, preschool, K-12, or college, visit the Nonmedical Vaccine Exemptions page.”

Cheryl Reams, School Health Assistant, is happy to answer any questions regarding your specific student’s immunizations that are not current. You can reach her at (503-261-4258).

Multnomah County Student Health Centers are a good resource for immunizations. The closest Health Center to Corbett is at Reynolds High School. You can call 503-988-3340 for an appointment.

Wishing all our students, staff, and families a strong and healthy 2026!
