📚 As families begin planning for another school year, it's worth taking a moment to consider the unique benefits of public schools.
While private and home schooling each have their strengths, public schools offer diverse opportunities that are hard to replicate—whether it's access to specialized programs, extracurriculars, diverse peer interactions, or dedicated support services.
Every family must make the best choice for their needs, but don’t overlook the powerful role public education plays in shaping well-rounded, community-connected students. 🏫✨

Woo-hoo! 🌭 The free hot dog dinners at this year's open houses will be provided again by Faith United Methodist Church and Coleman Lions Club volunteers! (Pics from the 2024 Open House). Thanks to both groups for always being so friendly and doing such a nice job! 🙏 Want to enjoy this free meal coming up in August? Come to the school open houses - they're open to the community! ☄️
Thank you to The Muddiman’s for having Kona Ice stop after tonight’s workout to help cool down the football and cheer team’s. It real hit the spot on a hot summer day!

Fall sports schedules are here! Everything that is completed is on the Athletics website (colemanschools.net/athletics). We are still working on adding a few more opportunities for our athletes, but here is the football schedule. The highlights are that, outside of weeks 1 and 2—when we needed to be on different days than Friday due to the holiday and travel time for our opponent—we have three home Friday nights. The Homecoming game against Carson City - Crystal is on Sept. 19th. Get out and support our Comets on the 2025 campaign!
We are very excited to announce that the Coleman Community Schools Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. Physicals can be uploaded into the system and will be tracked throughout the year, and we will have a way to pay fees electronically to make things easier. We will still accept payments by cash and check in the office as well. The form for Pay to Participate fees will be available on the athletics website and in FinalForms.
You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
Click on the Parent Playbook (attached) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Get Help”.
We are asking the parents/guardians of all students planning to play sports to create accounts in FinalForms and register your student(s).
Please register at: https://colemanschools-mi.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students, and sign your forms. An email was sent via Skyward with all of this information as well as step-by-step instructions to register.
Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork processes and providing support at Coleman Community Schools.
Due to the forecasted temperatures tomorrow, Thursday 8/24/25, the volleyball camp is moving times for the safety of our athletes. The first session for grades 3-8 will be from 9:30 am - 10:45 am, and the second session for grades 9-12 will be 10:45 am - 12:00 pm. We are sorry if that is an inconvenience for your families, but we would hate to cancel completely.
Exciting news! 🎉 We've been installing solar panels on campus this summer that cost us ZERO dollars and will potentially save us THOUSANDS, thanks to the Michigan School Energy Cooperative and NorthStar Solar Panels! ☀️ We are installing two sets of panels, one near each building. The best part? We'll save money, utilize unused space, and use them as a unique learning tool for students to learn more about solar energy. Sound too good to be true? Read all about it on our Facilities Updates page here! 🌐 https://www.colemanschools.net/page/facilities-updates
