Warrior Weekly

Dear Coleman Families,

We've had an amazing week of team-building and learning together with the Coleman faculty and staff. We're all super excited to kick off the 2024-2025 school year on Monday! Open House was a huge success! It was so great to see familiar faces and to meet all the new ones. Thank you for making it such a special event!

Be sure to mark your calendars—Tuesday, August 27th is Picture Day! Look out for the flyers with order information, which will be sent home in the Thursday folders on August 22nd. You can also find all the details in the Warrior Weekly, which will be published on August 23rd.

Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Best regards,

Dr. Quanz
Principal

24-25 MVR-III School Supply Lists

The school day begins at 8:35 AM and students will be released at 3:40 PM. Students should not be dropped off before 8:05 am; there is no supervision available. Students dropped off between 8:05 - 8:20 will either eat breakfast or head to the playground. It is strongly encourage for all car rider drop offs in the morning to arrive between 8:20-8:30

If you are planning to bring your child to and from school, please take a moment to review the below images of the traffic pattern for our lower parking lot. I appreciate everyone's cooperation and understanding to keep students and families safe during these transition times.

Parents we heard your feedback and are widening the entrance to the lower parking lot off of 100. Thank you for your feedback and sharing your concerns regarding the narrow driveway.

In compliance with our Healthy Generation School goals, Coleman will focus on healthy celebrations. Student birthdays will be recognized on our daily announcements.

To comply with the national health guideline, we do not accept birthday or holiday treats.

*Every student at Coleman Elementary will receive a birthday pencil and card from the office on their birthday.*

What is departmentalizing? -When teachers focus on one or more specific subjects, they can teach those subjects to different groups of students throughout the day.

Why departmentalize? -This allows teachers to focus on the subjects they are most passionate about and excel in, ensuring that your child receives the best possible instruction. It also gives teachers the chance to concentrate on one or two subjects, rather than spreading their attention across five different areas.

Sample Student Schedule:

8:40 - 9:00 - Homeroom

9:00 - 9:50 - Block A - ELA

9:55 - 10:45 - Specials

10:50 - 11:20 - Block A - ELA

11:25 - 11:40 - Block B - Math

11:45 - 12:15 - Lunch

12:20 - 1:20 - Block B - Math

1:20 - 1:55 - Recess

1:55 - 3:20 - Block C -Science/Social Studies

* *Students will travel with their homeroom group throughout the day.**

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Quanz.
