The Cooldige Staff and I wish you a wonderful Spring Break. Take some time to unwind with your family and friends. When we return the next couple of months will be flying by. We have a lot of fun and exciting activiies to look forward to . Remember we are still in Reading Month so continue reading :)

M-Step is a great time to have our students show off how much they know and how much they have learned. Test taking can be stressful, BUT also can be a time to take a challenge. Here at Coolidge we are teaching students to do their absolute best, take things seriously when needed and always have GRIT. During M-Step testing we have many motivating and exciting things planned for our 3rd and 4th graders. There are ways you can help too. PLEASE do not schedule appointments for the mornings (Monday - Thursday) during our testing window, 4/15-4/25. Please also help us by getting your child to school on time, fed and well-rested. More information to follow. Thank you for the support.

We have purchased Eclipse Glasses for all of our students so we can safely go outside and watch the Eclipse. Students will be learning about it in Project Lead The Way. A permission slip will be sent home with students after break. Please notify your child's teacher if you DO NOT want them to participate. Thanks.

We are so excited to welcome the Class of 2037 to Livonia Public Schools! Kindergarten registration for the 2024-25 school year will open on March 1!

Parents of children who are, or will turn, age 5 on or before September 1, 2024 may register for

fall kindergarten at Coolidge, beginning March 1st. We are very excited to welcome

many new children and families to our school and look forward to having you join the Coolidge

We love to have our students at school on time but If your student arrives to school after 8:55 a.m. they must be signed in by a parent/guardian in the security vestibule by completing the Google form on the Chromebook. Separate forms need to be completed for siblings. You will find the Chromebooks in the vestibule.

A student will be called down for early dismissal once a parent/guardian is present in our security vestibule. The parent/guardian who is signing a student out early will need to complete the Google form on the Chromebook in the vestibule. Once the form is submitted, the office staff will need to see the parent/guardian's ID through the window. Then the student will be called down to the office and released to the parent/guardian. Separate forms need to be completed for siblings.

Drop off and pick up are stressful times in our parking lot. Please drive slowly, be patient and obey the following procedures at all times. Our children’s safety is most important during these times.

The Parking lot / Parent Walk Up- The parking lot can be used for drop off or pick up. Your car should be parked in a parking spot and you will need to utilize the crosswalk to walk your child to and from the school doors.

Your child should NEVER be in the parking lot without you at their side. The ONLY place that parking or sitting is permitted, is in a designated parking space. Parking anywhere else could prevent our buses from coming or going.

Crosswalks - We have three crosswalks in the parking lot. Please come to a complete stop at each one and use them to cross when walking across the lot.

The Loop (Recommended) – The loop can be used for drop off or pick up. Students should remain in their cars until the car has come to a complete stop in the painted half circle area. Please do not let your child out of the car, or wave your child to your car, while you are in any other part of the loop area or driveway. Do not leave the loop area until the vehicle in front of you has left.

When using the loop this school year we ask that you place a sign in your car with your last name. Please place the sign in the passenger's side window. One of our staff members will greet you by the opening of the loop. They will then let your child know which numbered spot you will be meeting them at.
