We received a shout-out from a student to their teacher, Mrs. Mutton recently~ "She is so nice to the entire class, she plays with us at recess, she makes us laugh a lot, she does so many fun things since we went back after virtual learning. She gave us a treat during the NWEA test and she is one of my favorite teachers."

January is Board of Education Recognition Month. Those taking on this role do so with the best interests of the students and community in mind. They spend countless hours providing input, answering questions, and working to ensure the best outcomes for all children as well as the District as a whole. Thank you to Lorie Fox, Travis Aultman, Karen Bressette, Chris Blake, Angela Brooks, Jennifer Murray, and Kevin Bock for your time and energy toward this cause. Thank you for serving on Coleman Community Schools' Board of Education!
We are so looking forward to having students return to in-person learning on January 25th, 2021. This will include all of our students who are currently remote as well as those who were in the Online Learning Academy and are coming back to in-person.
To be prepared for the second semester, it is still important to wrap up the first semester. Please remind your children the importance of getting all of their work turned back in this week and completed. Grades can be seen in the Parent Connect system, but please remind your child if they just completed things, it will take a bit for teachers to get those things graded. Some of those things, especially at the Jr./Sr. High grade level may be past due and not receive full credit as those students are older. Those who submit all their work at once instead of when it was due, may have to wait a bit to have it graded. Should you or your child have ANY questions at all, please reach out to your child's teacher or the school office.
Chromebook Devices and Chargers can be returned/checked-in at the dates and times below. If you are unable to drop them off due to work, students can bring them back to the office first thing on January 25th. The more devices we can bring in on Jan. 21st and 22nd, the quicker we can get them checked in, wiped down and cleaned and in to the classrooms for use by the students. Devices should NOT be returned until your child has submitted all of their work for the 1st semester. Devices can be turned in at the elementary or jr./sr. high, regardless of which school your child attends. Times/dates for return are:
Thursday, January 21st
Jr./Sr. High or Elementary 1-3:00 p.m.
Friday, January 22nd
Jr./Sr. High- 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Elementary- 8:45 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Friday is Communications/Technology Employee Appreciation Day! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of those who work on our technology and communications staff. Our IT guys have been ESSENTIAL this past year getting and keeping many of us online, while our communications team makes every effort to keep all of us up to date.
Again, thank you!
The marking period ends at the end of next week, and grades will count! Make sure your students have turned in all assignments and, for those taking exams, make sure they have what they need to prepare. Please contact teachers or the school office ASAP if you have concerns.
