Sometimes it's just nice to hang out with your new and old friends at recess. Coleman students get a chance to do that daily during the SPARKS/ Summer Extended Learning programs, using sidewalk chalk or the Gaga Ball pit that was installed this past spring.
Vote Tuesday, August 3rd, or now by Absentee Ballot from our Township/City Clerk. A bond proposal for Coleman Schools is on the ballot.
Why are renovated/additional classrooms and recaptured space important in this bond? Coleman teachers work to support group work, problem-solving, literacy circles and cooperative learning which is difficult in the many of the current triangular-shaped classrooms. Recapturing the open spaces allows for more programming for students similar to what has been held over the past 7 years with Zoology, Ag/STEM, Multi-Media, Choir, American Sign Language, Financial Literacy, space for Dual Enrollment & Early/Middle College studies and more. Our current space does not allow for future growth or space currently needed for classrooms, office, conference rooms and storage.

Some exciting news! We have been able, with some of the federal funding we received this year, to purchase enough Chromebooks to be 1:1 for students. The District Curriculum Committee has been talking with teachers and we will be planning just what 1:1 will look like based on the grade level of students and a multi-year plan for teaching students how best to use the devices. We'll be sharing that information out as we get closer to next year.
Just a quick reminder if your child(ren) are in the Online Learning Academy or in quarantine or have borrowed a Chromebook/charger at any time this year that has not yet been returned, please bring that to the school.
We will have staff available late today, Friday, June 4th from 3-4:30 p.m. and Monday, June 7th from 9-noon. Even if your child will be in a summer program, they should still be returned first and then we will reassign Chromebooks. You can return other days through next week as well when secretaries are in the office. Costs for anyone not returning these items or any damage will be sent to homes within the two weeks and report cards will be held. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Have a wonderful summer!

As part of Leader In Me, Ms. Moore's kindergarten class did a service project. They synergized to come up with an idea and a plan. They decided on a coin drive to raise money. They planned to use the money to buy food and toiletries for the local pantry. The class put first things first and made a plan. Their goal was to raise $100. They raised $103.25 and were able to buy all of this and donate it to the emergency pantry at Greater Midland Family Center- Coleman. What a win-win! The students felt so proud as they delivered the goods they were able to provide for those in need!
