You will get a chance to meet with Correia's principal, Mr. Kupper, along with vice principal, Ms. Denzien. Both seventh and eighth graders will explain what life and expectations are at Correia and then you will get a tour of the school. After, you will be able to ask questions to Mr. Kupper and students about Correia.
Important Reminder: Early Student Pick-Ups During Lunch
Dear Families,
If you need to pick up your student early during their lunch period for a pre-planned appointment, please ask them in advance to meet you in the front office, or check with them on where they usually eat or hang out on campus.
Because lunch is a free-flowing time with students spread across campus, having this information allows office staff to locate and call them down much fasterβreducing your wait time at checkout.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our campus running smoothly!
Warm regards,
Correia Office Staff
