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

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

Go MAD, or "Go Make a Difference," is an annual event at Northwood University that encourages students, staff, and faculty to volunteer in the Midland community. This year, our 5th graders got a chance to visit the University and try out a lot of different sports! While the students I interviewed were mostly raving about the super cool cafeteria, they also said all the volunteers at the University were really nice and they learned a lot about "Putting First Things First" and working together. They also got to meet the mascot and snapped a cool pic!










5th grader Jayla and 1st grader Landon were our awesome Pledge Leaders for tonight! They recited the Pledge of Allegiance loud and proud like leaders to kick off the start of the Board Meeting. Thanks for coming tonight, we enjoyed having you here! #LEADLikeAComet


Miss Dittenber and Ms. Cederstrom’s classes got to wear the school rubber boots for their recent rainy trip to the Chippewa Nature Center. These were purchased through a grant specific to our Ag K-7 program, received several years ago. We were able to purchase enough boots for all K, 1st and 2nd graders to use on these trips and when they are working in the land lab, greenhouse or barn. Perfect for the rainy weather! ☔
Some pics of the Kindergarten trip to Chippewa Nature Center a few weeks ago!










Ms. Dittenber's 2nd graders enjoyed some mini pumpkin art! Great job, Comets! 🎃
