Corona Creek Elementary School

Corona Creek News for the Week of October 12, 2026

From Mr. Gardner

We appreciate your patience as we took a break from one-day independent study to streamline our process.

Voluntary One-Day Independent Study allows students to complete work toward learning goals when a short absence occurs (illness, emergency, etc.). Request this program on the day of the absence using the form on our website, which alerts your school’s front office. Then grab an assignment option for your student’s grade level on the website (we have copies in the office as well). Complete the work and return it within 5 days of returning to school. We will send home the contract for you to sign and return as well. Questions? Contact your school’s office.

By choosing a one-day independent study, your student earns attendance credit for the day, engages in meaningful learning and school earns ADA, valuable school funding.

This does not replace traditional independent study while is for more than three days and needs two week's notice for us to prepare. That process continues as usual.

A student may not accumulate more than 15 days of independent study in one school year.

A Peek at the Week: WIN in Mrs. Cooke's room, fall projects and Int'l Walk & Roll Day!

Wanted for STEAM: Shoe boxes
Please bring to the front office. Thank you!
