Dear Corbin Primary Families and Community,
Welcome to Corbin Primary School! It is my privilege to welcome you to another exciting school year. Whether you are joining our CPS family for the very first time or returning for another adventure, we are so glad you’ re here.
At Corbin Primary, we believe every child deserves to feel known, valued, challenged, and loved. We work intentionally to create a school where every student experiences a true sense of belonging, every classroom provides consistent and engaging learning opportunities, and every child has equitable access to the support they need to succeed. Our goal is not simply to help students learn— we want them to love learning.
Serving children in kindergarten through third grade is both an incredible privilege and an enormous responsibility. These early years establish the foundation for academic success, build confidence, and shape a child’ s perception of school for years to come. We never lose sight of that responsibility. Our mission— enriching the lives of our students through a lifelong love of learning, discovery, and citizenship— is more than words displayed on a wall. It is the purpose that guides every decision we make.
Families will find that our teachers work collaboratively with a shared commitment to excellence. We use high-quality instructional materials grounded in the latest educational research and the

science of learning, while continually refining our practices to meet the needs of every learner. Through our comprehensive Multi-Tiered System of Supports( MTSS), students may receive individualized academic, behavioral, and socialemotional support whenever needed. Our team of interventionists, counselors, special education professionals, instructional staff, and community partners work together to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Learning at Corbin Primary extends far beyond the core classroom. Students enjoy a rich variety of experiences through art, music, physical education, library-media, science enrichment, social-emotional learning, and other engaging opportunities. Field trips, school celebrations, leadership experiences, family events, and joyful traditions help create memories that last a lifetime. It is these meaningful experiences— combined with exceptional instruction and caring relationships— that truly make Corbin Primary“ The Happiest School on Earth.”
Our school is proud to be part of a district that has consistently been recognized among Kentucky’ s highest-performing school systems. While we celebrate those accomplishments, our greatest measure of success will always be the growth of each individual child. We are always striving to be our BEST!
It is my pleasure to serve as principal at CPS! Thank you for trusting us with your greatest treasure. We are honored to partner with you as we encourage, inspire, and challenge your child throughout the coming year. Together, we will continue building a school where students not only achieve at high levels but also discover the joy of learning, the confidence to believe in themselves, and the character to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
On behalf of our entire faculty and staff, welcome to Corbin Primary School, the happiest school on earth! We cannot wait to share a magical year with you and your family!
Joyfully, Tonya Proffitt, CPS Principal
