Coleman Community Schools

Coleman Schools will be closed today, Monday, Jan. 5, 2026, due to road conditions. Information about afternoon and evening activities will be posted around noon today. Be safe and have a good day.

Our Jr./Sr. High Auditorium stage has been well-used and well-loved for many years—which also means it’s earned a few splinters, marks, and the need for some well-deserved TLC ✨

Here are a few photos showing the before and the in-process, sanded stage. Varnish will be applied before students return Monday. This is just one part of the improvements happening in the auditorium thanks to a grant from the Midland Area Community Foundation and the support of other generous donors 🙌

We’re excited to continue completing projects that will keep this space updated and welcoming for our students and community for years to come 💙

🎵🎄 The sounds of the season filled the media center as elementary staff and students took part in the annual holiday sing Wednesday and Thursday. This long-standing tradition brings back memories for many former students — and continues to create new ones each year. Singing together, sharing smiles, and enjoying time with friends make for a wonderful holiday moment. 💙

🎵🎄 Congratulations to our 6th grade band on a wonderful first concert at Christmas Spectacular Tuesday night! Many thanks to Mr. Burkhart for his continued dedication and for producing such meaningful performances. We’re also grateful to our high school bands and choir for contributing to a great night of music. 💙

Matching jammies with your family is essential at Christmastime - even at school! 🎄At pajama day on Thursday, we caught principal Mrs. Araway matching with her daughters Miss J (Spanish Teacher) and Miss Sara (Paraprofessional), and brothers Xander and Rigel matching, too! 💙 we're absolutely loving the holiday spirit!

The 5th and 6th graders were really feeling the festivities this holiday spirit week! 🎅🎄

The Student Lighthouse Team enjoyed a Christmas party following their team meeting this week! Check out their graham cracker gingerbread houses. 🍬

There have been elves all over Mrs. Young's classroom all holiday season! 🎅 Yesterday, their classroom elf, Cookie, hitched a ride on Mrs. Klopf's back all day. 😆 there were also a bunch of elves swarming Mrs. Young and Mrs. Methner on her bulletin board - do you two need help!?

As part of their Social Studies unit on American Indians, Ms. Whittington's 2nd graders learned about the six historic Indian tribes of Ohio. Students then built and presented 3-D models of the three types of homes used by those tribes: wigwam, longhouse, and teepee. Then, of course, they posed for the obligatory pictures so we could all see what they've done!
