Good Morning- Wed., Jan. 7, 2026- Coleman is on a 2-hour delay this morning. We are really trying to get students in, but we have more ice than yesterday morning in some areas. The hope is a delay will give more time for the salt to work and it will bring light to make things safer. Thank you for working with us on this as I know it adjusts all of your days.
Tues., Jan. 6, 2026- JH practices are cancelled. HS practices are voluntary. Bowling will still take place in Sanford and the team will meet at the bowling alley. The Varsity Boys Basketball game is still on tonight. Please take your time and leave a bit early as there is some ice, but with the raising temps, the ice seems to be melting on many roads. Go Comets!
Tues., Jan. 6, 2026- Coleman Schools will be closed today. Information about afternoon and evening events will be posted around noon today.
Tues., Jan. 6, 2026- Coleman Schools will have a 2-hour delay this morning as we watch the roads.

Again, Coleman has a 2-hour delay this morning.
Mon., Jan. 5, 2026- Bowling and JV/Varsity Girls Basketball games for today are still on. JH practices are cancelled. JV/Varsity practices are voluntary for athletes and as scheduled by your coaches.
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 💙
