Coolidge Chronicle
June 2, 2024
Field Day is this Tuesday, June 4! (The rain date is Friday, June 7th.) Mrs. Pacheco has been working hard to plan the event, and thanks to her efforts, each class will visit 15 Olympic-themed stations to cooperate and have fun in the sun! Everyone will attend field day 9:30-12:30, with lunch being held outdoors as an all-school picnic from 12:00-12:30 pm. (Only Grade 4 will remain outdoors from 12:30-1:00 for a dance party)

To support the celebration and organization of the event we are asking all students to dress in their grade level's designated color.

Moving? Won't Be Here On The Last Day? Read below for what to do!
Please notify the office at 841-8880 if you are moving this summer or know that your child will be absent during the last day(s) of school. Please notify the office of an address change/update if you are moving within the town of Shrewsbury, too. Sometimes moves within town mean your child will attend school in another Shrewsbury school zone. (i.e., Beal, Floral, Spring, Paton) Also, if you are aware that your child will not be at school on the first day of school in the fall, please call the office now so Nicole can document the absence and notify the teacher.
Please Send Water Bottles!
With temperatures increasing we want to remind families to send their child daily with a water bottle. Water filling stations are open for your child to use throughout the day. Help us stay cool by sending your child with a water bottle, thermos, etc. to support hydration during the warmer of school year months!
