Welcome Families! We enjoyed seeing the smiling faces of our returning and new students this morning. The first day of school was a SUCCESS. All of our students made it to class and home safely. Each week our families can expect a Bobcat Brief to be sent home on Fridays. This week's newsletter will be short since school has only been in session a day. :)

We'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate our drop off and pick up procedures. When these procedures are followed the process runs much smoother and faster.

• Morning Drop Off- (everyday) - If you are new to Coosa, you probably noticed that our car rider line is long. Today, it was a tad longer with some students being dropped off that will be riding a bus on subsequent days. We encourage our families to leave home early to ensure students arrive to school on time. Today, we did not mark students tardy if they were in the car rider line prior to 7:45. Please remember, we ask that car rider students are prepared to "kiss and go" in our car line.

• Start time - School starts at 7:45am. Students may be dropped off as early as 7:15am. Please refer to the diagram included in the welcome letter on how to enter the car rider line. We ask that you do not enter by way of Middle Road. Entering through Middle Road causes an unsafe back up on a main road.

• Dismissal - School is dismissed at 2:45pm. The dismissal process takes a little longer during the first week or two of school as students and new families are learning the process and we are ensuring all students get home safely and in the correct manner.

• Social Media - You can follow us on Facebook (@coosaelementary) and Instagram (@coosaelementaryschool). We love to see you post about our beloved school! Please use our hashtags - #coosaleaders and #CESLowcountryLeaders - when posting.

The technology usage fee is $20 per student in Kindergarten - Fifth Grade. You can pay online here: https://bit.ly/3CfZqrV. Today, we began issuing devices to students. At this time, devices will be remaining at school as students will begin taking the math and reading iReady diagnostics next week.
