Thank You!
Dear Coolidge Families,
I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredibly warm welcome I've received since joining Coolidge as your interim principal. The kindness and enthusiasm shown by students, parents, staff, and the community has truly made me feel like an immediate part of this special place.
I am deeply touched by the welcoming and genuine support I've experienced in such a short time. It is clear that this school is built on a strong foundation of collaboration and shared commitment to our students' success.
I am excited to embark on this journey with you all and look forward to working together . Thank you once again for your warm embrace.

Coolidge Drop off and Pick up Procedures
The Loop (Highly 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. Please remain alert and ready to move forward with traffic.
The Parking lot - 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 walk your child to and from the school doors utilizing only the crosswalk. OUr staff is there to assist you and your child. 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. (Using the loop is easier.)
