The 2026-27 school year starts two weeks from today and we are so excited to welcome you all back to CGS! The custodial team has worked hard all summer to make sure the building is ready for the coming school year and, by the time students return, the building will be looking better than ever. In the meantime, please do not forget about our upcoming Back to School Open House (Thursday, August 13 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm) and take some time to read the Back to School Cornell Family Connection. Most of all, enjoy these remaining day of summer!

It's Staff Appreciation Week! While we have some great things planned for our amazing CGS staff, the thing they love most is to hear from the families they serve. So, if you have a favorite CGS staff member, please take a moment to reach out to them and let them know. It means the world to them just like their students do.
The 8th Graders enjoyed a great day of career exploration on Friday at the Career Fair at Saunemin. One of these smiling faces wants to be a funeral home director. Can you guess who?

Due to limited visibility and icy, snow-covered roads, Cornell Grade School will transition to remote learning today, March 16. The safety of our students, families, and staff is always our top priority. Elementary students should work on the remote learning packets that were previously sent home, and junior high students should follow their remote learning schedule for the day. Thank you for your support and flexibility as we prioritize safe conditions for everyone.
