We’re excited to get the new school year underway!

The next page contains a number of resources and details for starting the school year - breakfast and lunch, school supplies, calendars and more.

Final Forms: Families should complete Final Forms prior to August 24. Information is saved year-to-year, so after the initial completion, this should only take a few moments of your time. We need this information to ensure we have the proper emergency contact, medical, and other permissions.

School-Day Security: When visiting during the school day, we ask that all enter using door A1 (elementary main entrance) or B4 (high school main entrance). These entrances have a video intercom and door control systems that allow the building secretaries to open the doors. All other entrances are locked during the school day.

Fall Activities: Our fall sports and marching band have been preparing for the season. Most of our athletic teams will shift to the NWCC (North West Central Conference) this school year, a change that has been three years in the making. Best of luck to all of our students participating in activities this fall!

YMCA Early Learning Center: Our vision at Cory-Rawson is to serve as a “hub” for the community. The YMCA Early Learning Center at Cory-Rawson will open this fall. If you are interested in learning more, click here.

Vaccinations: Vaccinations that are required for school attendance are typically administered to students going into grades K, 7, and 12. These can be obtained at your physician’s office or through Hancock Public Health. More details are available on this flier from the Ohio Department of Health.

Hornet Launch Open House: Successful schools are the result of strong partnerships with families and communities. We hope you are able to join us for our PK-12 open house on Thursday, August 24, 4:00-6:00pm.

We are proud of both the small school atmosphere at Cory-Rawson and our growth of quality opportunities. We look forward to a school year full of growth for our students!


In our hearts, the green and gold,
