Corinth School District is dedicated to the mission of providing quality educational opportunities to all students. Our mission will be based upon the premise that “All Children Can Learn.” Emphasis will be placed upon quality instruction and pupil achievement.
Parental input needed for upcoming review
The Corinth School District will undergo a Five-Year Review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a part of its accreditation process. This review is scheduled next year for February 3-6, 2013.
In preparation for this visit, the Corinth Schools will be reviewing all aspects of school operation and revising its Continuous Improvement Plan. Parental input is very valuable as we begin this process. A survey is located at the link below and we would appreciate your completing the survey for the school your child attends in an effort to provide us with feedback. If you have children in more than one school then you should complete a survey for each school.
The link to the survey is as follows:

FUN IN THE SUN- Corinth Middle School fifth and sixth graders enjoyed a fun day of challenging games Friday during the annual Olympic Day. Hosted by the school’s PTO, the students enjoyed games indoors in the gymnasium and on the field in the middle of Warrior Circle. The students enjoyed relays, volleyball and other games that pitted classroom against classroom. They also were challenged with their knowledge in several “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-Grader?” games.
ACTING OUT IN CLASS - The final exam in one class was total drama for some students at Corinth High School. Kelly Treadway’s drama students literally acted out their grades. Each class researched plays and chose one to perform. They selected their crew and created their own set design
, costumes and publicity. Inspired by Mississippi State University’s Labrats Improv group, one class performed their own improvisation piece. The Corinth students saw the group perform at the Mississippi Drama Festival in Starkville last December. Other CHS students were invited to watch the plays being performed each class period so that the thespians would have an actual audience for the exam time. A group of students from Corinth Elementary School attended the staging of “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” performed by the fourth period class.
ANNUAL ANIMAL VISIT - Bob Tarter of the National History Educational Company of the Mid-South brought his “Greatest Hits” program to Corinth Middle School and Corinth Elementary School Tuesday. The exhibits shown to the students and teachers by Tarter represented the best and most popular 
animals he has brought to schools throughout the last several years. The program Tuesday was based off of student and teacher votes on the Internet. Tarter brought a Fennec Fox, a Red Kangaroo, a Prairie Dog, a Vinegroon and a Tarantula to the two schools. He gave a brief lesson on each animal while showing them to the students and teachers. Perhaps the most popular one, though, was Mitch the albino Burmese Python. Tarter allowed faculty and staff members to embrace Mitch for a true “Kodak moment” by wrapping the snake around their necks and torsos. Amy Chandler, a fourth grade teacher at CES, reluctantly takes a closeup view of Mitch. Tarter has visited Corinth schools for the past nine years.
NEW YEAR APPROVED - The Corinth School District Board of Trustees recently approved the school calendar for the 2012-2013 school year.

New online prepayment service offered
Beginning April 27, parents of Corinth School District students will have an easier way to make certain their children have funds to pay for their school meals.
Parents can register for a MyNutrikids.com account to provide an easy, convenient and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into their child’s school meal account. The service will also provide parents the ability to view their child’s account balance and print out a copy of their child’s eating history report. The history report gives all dates and times the child has purchased a breakfast, lunch or other items within the past 30 days.
Students may begin using the prepayment system in the meal service line on April 30. By having money in each child’s account prior to entering the cafeteria, the lunch lines should move along much faster so your child has more time to eat and be with friends.
Letters were sent home from school with students recently. The letters contained information needed to register students for the service as well as tips on accessing the service.
To access the meal banking system, simply go to the district web site at www.corinth.k12.ms.us and click on the MyNutrikids.com link. From this site, parents will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account. All you need is your child’s name; the last four digits of his/her MSIS number and school ZIP code. Your child’s MSIS number was located below his/her name at the top of the letter sent home last week.
A parent with more than one child in the District you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account. Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or with a major credit or debit card.
In order to use the online prepayment service, a small convenience fee for each transaction will be assessed to cover the bank fees. The convenience fee is $1.75 per deposit transaction. Parents placing money into multiple accounts will only be assessed the $1.75 fee once per deposit transaction. The Corinth School District will NOT profit from the use of this site.
An informational sheet sent home with students further detailed the registration process.
