Today is School Resource Officer (SRO) Recognition Day and we are fortunate to have Deputy Chas Wakeman with us daily to mentor, ensure safety and provide feedback to our staff and students. He has been a valuable asset since beginning with us, bringing with him a great deal of knowledge. He takes the role very seriously and is incredibly professional, willing to do whatever is asked (or even not asked) to support our students and staff. We are happy to have you with us and hope to have you here for a long time. Enjoy your day, Deputy Wakeman, and thank you for being a part of the Coleman Comet team.
We would also like to thank Community Resource Deputy Connor Smith. Community Resource Deputy Smith has been with us this week and will substitute for Deputy Wakeman if he has training to attend or a meeting set. Talking with him yesterday, he is enjoying his time with us, the change in schedule and being with the students and staff. We appreciate his knowledge and effort.
Thank you to the Midland County community who approved the SRO Enhancement Millage when these roles began almost 7 years ago and for renewing it. Thank you also to Sheriff Scott Holzinger for recognizing the importance of having School Resource Officers in our schools every day.

3rd graders enjoyed participating in JA on Tuesday! They learned about the different ways to spend money (like checks, credit cards, debit cards) and entrepreneurs and their businesses. You can never start too early when it come to financial literacy! #LEADLikeAComet






Here are some photos from the Night with Santa PTO event; looks like everyone had a bunch of fun! 🎅










The elementary school enjoyed their annual Christmas Sing today and yesterday morning! As you can see, both the students AND staff were all decked out in their finest holiday gear (let us know which outfit/accessory you see is your favorite!). The staff also sang their personalized rendition of The 12 Days of Christmas, and we snuck in a special moment to recognize Deputy Hodges for his many years of service to the district, as he is retiring very soon. We included a picture of 6th grader Heidi, who continually looked over her shoulder to scowl at him (because - her words - she's going to miss him too much!) Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄🎅🎁

1st graders fabricated some festive fashion designs! These are just a few of their very creative ideas. 🎅

1st graders Adelyn and Aaron were in charge of leading the Pledge of Allegiance at tonight's Board Meeting! They both did a great job speaking loud and clear for us. Thanks for being here and for being great leaders in your class, Comets! #LEADLikeAComet



Coleman Schools will have a 2-hour delay today, Monday, December 16th due to a few icy roads and fog, which should improve a little later this morning. Buses will still run to the ESA for those students in ESA programs. 1st and 2nd hour English and Social Studies exams at the Jr/Sr High will begin tomorrow. Exams will be held for English and Social Studies starting with 3rd hour today. Ag and Culinary at Coleman for the morning are not running due to the delay and students going to other CTE programs for the morning will not have bussing but may drive themselves if they wish.
I have heard from some people that the voice message that went out was blank; my apologies for that. A text and email were sent to help with that. Again, sorry for the disruption.

Coleman Elementary doesn't only strive to build great student leaders, but great STAFF leaders, as well! Check out this lovely staff pic from Leadership Night. Thanks for sharing, teachers! #LEADLikeAComet


Tonight is the Elementary School Christmas program, don't miss it!


Just a few of our amazing paraprofessionals the week before Holiday Break- Mrs. Guza, Mrs. Methner, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Shuler. #LEADLike A Comet


STUDENTS- since I know you're awake now that you don't have to go to school ;o) spend your time on something productive. I could use some new memes or a quick video to share on ice, snow or severe cold days and I know YOU are great at making them. Parents can help, too. Keep them school/community appropriate, send them to jmccormack@colemanschools.net and yours might be used on the next Act of God Day. Include your name(s) so I can give you credit. Bonus points if it makes me laugh out loud! Let's have a little fun with it. - Mrs. McCormack

Coleman Schools will be closed today, Thursday, Dec. 5th, due to icy road conditions. Information on any afternoon/evening events will be posted later today. Please be safe and stay warm.
