Please remember that the first choice window closes January 29, 2010. Any family that is applying to Cory for the first time as choice or for a choice sibling needs to get the application in during this window to have preference for grades K-5. ECE is an application process but is outside the choice process. All students are aassigned lottery numbers within their priority groups and in March we will begin assigning our neighborhood and HGT students to grades and then accepting choice students as space is available.
If you have moved from the Cory neighborhood this year, you must apply as choice to stay at Cory or you will be assigned to your new home school. If you are currently at Cory as an approved choice applicant in grades K-5, you do not have to choice in again. Some families have received letters from DPS in regards to NCLB (No Child Left Behind). If you ahve any questions, please stop by the office.
The second choice window opens on March 1 and ends on August 31, 2010. For additional information please go to http://soco.dpsk12.org/.

The Highly Gifted and Talented Magnet at Cory
|
|
Cory is a magnet site for highly gifted children grades 1st-5th, students who have demonstrated extraordinary academic achievement or abilities and intellectual potential found in the top one percent of the national student population. These “identified” children are a part of the mix of students at Cory; they are not put in self-contained classrooms. Our “combined” classrooms are what make Cory unique and what makes our classrooms a wonderful mixture of learners.
Parents and teachers may nominate children for this program each fall and students are selected based on testing, achievement, teacher recommendations, identifiable characteristics and extraordinary abilities and accomplishments. Information about this process is available at the Cory office or the Denver Public Schools HGT office.
Every Cory teacher has been trained in highly gifted education. Our highly gifted program relies on the practice of differentiated instruction to meet individual learning requirements.
