Parents,

At Coleman MS we have a collective commitment to the success of each and every student.

As part of that commitment, we will be starting CATS time at Coleman MS this upcoming Monday. CATS, or Challenging All To Succeed, is a 20 minute-time on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, after Morning Meetings, for all students to engage in academic assistance, review, and/or enrichment with web-based technology platforms and with their teacher. CATS is parent of our school 2022-2023 plan for improvement.

CATS will take place in homeroom with the homeroom teacher, so there won't be any impact on the student's schedule. We are starting with Reading assistance next week and we will add Math the following week. We will be monitoring progress so that students can move between assistance, review, and enrichment according to their progress.

If a student has been selected to start receiving Reading assistance next week you should have received a letter and an email with more information.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to our grade level Assistant Principals if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Dr. Hernandez.

Beta Club has an ongoing project to clean up the school grounds on the last Thursday of the month. In September we picked up 16.14 pounds of trash, today we picked up 14.12 pounds for a total of 30.26 pounds of trash. Beta Club is very proud to contribute to our school and our community with this project.

Thank you to our students and teacher sponsors for their service to Coleman Middle School!

We extend our gratitude to our students leaders in the Principal Student Council for their work on collecting feedback from their peers about how to improve how our students feel about coming to school every day at Coleman MS.

This is part of a school project for Dr. Dement' class and Sarah will have the proceeds going to support housing in Gwinnett.
