Coloma Junior High

During our first week of Marking Period 2 we have held Parent Teacher Conferences and celebrated with our students.

Students that earned 4's in citizenship were able to celebrate with a treat and crafts in the cafeteria on Friday morning. We celebrate Citizenship rewards at the end of each marking period with a unique activity that is special to this group of students.

Students that had remaining Responsibility Passes from 1st marking period were also able to exchange them for a treat. This is an incentive for student to ensure that they are coming prepared to class every day.

If you need to notify your child of their end of the day transportation, please contact the office no later than 2:00pm. The main office is a very busy place at the end of the day, this allows us time to ensure that your child receives the message.

Due to the Halloween Dance on Wednesday there will be NO Study Hall on Wednesday. The dance will run from 5:30 - 7:30pm.

The Junior High runs Study Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week. Study Hall is supervised by our certified teachers that are able to support a variety of subjects. There is no cost to attend and no sign up required. Students only need to have their own transportation home at 4:05.

For safety reasons, all students will sign in each afternoon and unless prior arrangements are made they will remain in the classroom until dismissal at 4:05.

Students can use this as a safe and supervised place to work on homework, receive extra help, utilize internet to complete projects, or wait for transportation. All JH students are welcome to attend.
