Update on the elementary school Halloween costume parade this afternoon due to the possible inclement weather: If it is only sprinkling, we will still have the parade outside. If it is a downpour, we will need to move the parade indoors, and parents will be unable to attend. We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope that the rain holds off!

And they're off! Mr. Fischer and the group of Agscience students pictured below left for National FFA Convention this morning. Stay tuned for the rest of the week to see all of their adventure while in Indianapolis!


This past spring, Agscience students planted pumpkin seeds in the land lab. This past week, elementary teachers were able to take their students out to pick pumpkins and use them in their classrooms. Thanks to Mrs. Lynch for sharing your creations!

Effective today, Monday, October 25th, is the attached Order from the Midland County Health Department Director, Mr. Fred Yanoski.
We are proud to share that Coleman Schools has already been following all of the originally recommended protocols for COVID-19 with our students and staff.
In general, the Order doesn't change much for Coleman Schools. There are just a couple of points that will change:
1) We have to “disseminate, publish and post” the Order and for future reference you can find it on our website on the Homepage under the "COVID-19 Information" button;
2) Per CDC updated recommendations (dated 10-15-21), a vaccinated close contact will test on day 5 to 7 (previously 3 to 5) after exposure and can discontinue mask wearing with a negative test.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. McCormack at the Board Office. The full Health Department Order can be found here:

7th-12th grade LEADERS met with Mrs. Hess and Mrs. McCormack during seminar today. Any student from those grades who wanted to be part of the group was invited originally by Mrs. McCormack and wuite a few from each grade joined. They have big ideas and spent some time planning how they can impact not only themselves and their skills but others and their school in positive ways. In order to stay a part of this group, they are required to continue to better themselves and represent the school and themselves in positively at all times. They worked on brainstorming projects around school pride/spirit, activities, student jobs, positive feedback to build on everyone's success and upgrades among others. Students who barely know each other worked collaboratively together today. Next week- we put the ideas into action! Names of our LEADERS will be forthcoming.
