As we wrap up the school year, we want to remind families that this is the last week of school, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will all be minimum days.

Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and encouragement throughout the year. We truly appreciate our families and all you do to support our students and school community.

For families returning for the 2026–27 school year, the first day of school will be Monday, August 10th. Families will be able to view their student’s assigned teacher on the evening of Thursday, August 6th, after completing the Data Confirmation process. We will also host a “Meet the Teacher” event on the morning of Friday, August 7th.

We wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break!

We are proud to highlight Ms. Esposito (“Ms. E.”), our Intervention Counselor at Cortez Elementary! Ms. E. plays an important role in supporting students as they learn and practice the Cortez 4 School-Wide Expectations through classroom guidance lessons, small-group counseling, and individual support. She also partners closely with families by connecting them to valuable community resources.

If your child or family could benefit from support, Ms. E. is here to help! Visit the Alicia Cortez webpage, click “Popular Links,” and select “Request for Support.”
