Thanksgiving Message to Families:

Dear Families,

As we get closer into the Thanksgiving break, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for every single one of you. Building a strong, supportive learning environment takes a true partnership, and our school community is stronger because of your continuous support, encouragement, and involvement.

Whether you are volunteering in our classrooms, helping out with school events, cheering at performances, or simply ensuring your children arrive ready to learn each day—thank you.

We hope this upcoming Thanksgiving brings your family rest, laughter, and wonderful quality time together. Happy Thanksgiving!

Warmly,

The Correia Team

It is time for students to select their elective choices for the 2027–2028 school year!

Please review the key details and instructions below with your student before they submit their choices:

• Student-Led Process: Students must enter their elective choices directly through the Student PowerSchool Portal.
• Number of Requests: Students need to select a total of 6 choices—3 top-choice electives and 3 alternate electives.
• Application-Only Electives: ASB, Athletics, AVID, Journalism, and Surf (8th grade only) require a separate application. Note: If your student is applying for one of these, they must still select regular electives in PowerSchool as placeholders.
• Yearlong Commitment: All elective courses are yearlong classes and cannot be changed during the school year.
• Course Info: Course descriptions and application links are listed on the Correia Course Offerings

⚠️ Deadline

All course requests must be submitted in PowerSchool no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, November 30.

Please note: If a student does not complete their selections in PowerSchool by the deadline, classes will be assigned to them automatically.

Thank you for supporting your student through the course registration process! Please reach out to your student's school counselor if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Correia Middle School Administration

Dear Correia Families,

We are excited to invite incoming families to tour Correia Middle School! Tours will begin at 8:30 a.m. on December 3, 2026, February 4, 2027, and March 4, 2027.

Please RSVP using this form to let us know which tour date you plan to attend.

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.

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 faster—reducing your wait time at checkout.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our campus running smoothly!

Warm regards,

Correia Office Staff
