Coleman Connection

Hello Parents,

We had some technical difficulties with our video platform this week and the latest videos got deleted by error. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding,

Dr. Hernandez.

Hello Parents,

In order to maximize our students' opportunity to participate in Morning Meetings and CATS time in the mornings, we will start accommodating grab-and-go breakfast after spring break for students riding late buses. The grab-and-go breakfast will include cereal, fruits, and other choices of dry breakfast items included on the weekly menu, that students can eat in their homeroom.

Additionally, please keep in mind that students are not allowed to go in classroom with beverages, so avoid dropping them off late with an open drink as this will further affect their start time.

Please email your student AP if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Dr. Hernandez

Please contact your student's Assistant Principal if you have any questions regarding accommodations for Ramadan. Students will have the option to go to the media center during lunch if requested.

Thank you,

Dr. Hernandez,
