Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are happy to announce that we have collected 115 coats for our Coolidge Student Council Coat Drive to be donated to the New Destiny Family Success Center in Paterson.
Students in grades K-5 will be administered the second i-Ready diagnostic assessment beginning this Monday, December 8th. This assessment helps us monitor student growth and identify areas of focus for whole group, small group, and individual instruction. Students should be proud of their hard work so far this year and should use these assessments as a way to show everything they have learned.
The first trimester ended on December 5th, and report cards for grades 1-5 will be available via the Genesis Parent Portal after 3:30 PM on December 12th. Parents may want to visit the district website for information about our Standards-Based Report Cards.
Please check out this link to view our special area December Newsletter, highlighting all of the wonderful lessons and activities taking place in those classes.
Message from Mr. Cosman regarding this week’s school musical rehearsals: Check out the updated December Calendar for this week's upcoming musical rehearsal schedule. Students should enter via the gym doors. Please wait in your car until someone opens the doors at 8:15. Contact Mr. Cosman if you have any questions, or refer to his email.
Winter weather is upon us. As a reminder for parents and students, we hope to go outdoors for recess on most days throughout the winter, even in cold weather. Please keep this in mind when choosing outerwear for your children. We believe that fresh air and exercise are important for our students and help them maintain a stronger academic focus in the afternoon.
