Coleman Community Schools

The Coleman Schools Bond Proposal plans to update all HVAC systems throughout the Jr/Sr High Building, all of which are original from when the building was built 47 years ago. There are multiple classrooms in the building with heaters that students can't sit directly next to due to the heaters being too loud for students to hear their lesson. The 47-year-old univentilators no longer effectively and efficiently distribute heat, causing classrooms to be far too hot, or so cold that the teachers and students are wearing coats and extra layers of clothing inside. For more information on what this bond proposal seeks to update and why, please visit our website here: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/bond-information-2023 Go out and VOTE on May 2nd, and please SHARE to help others learn about the proposal!

The student lockers at Coleman Jr/Sr High are 47 years old . . . original to the building when it was constructed! Over the years, these lockers have suffered broken combination locks, damage, and warping, all caused by regular use by many generations of teenagers. One of the plans for the bond proposal is to replace all student lockers in the Jr/Sr high school building. For more information about what the bond proposal will address, you can visit our bond page here: https://www.colemanschools.net/page/bond-information-2023.

15 Coleman high school students performed two concerts with 102 students from around the MSAC league in Carson City last week on Tuesday. This was the largest band we have had at this event!

From Mrs. Young last week: It's one of my favorite days! Red nose day! Red Nose Day is a fundraising campaign to end the cycle of child poverty and ensure a healthy future for all children. By purchasing and sporting a red nose, not only are we bringing awareness to the cause but we are helping to end child poverty! Thank you to my classroom Grammy for providing the noses for all of my kiddos ♡
