Principal's Update

August 17, 2025
Coleman Tigers, get ready!

We're excited to welcome you back for another great school year. The first day is this Wednesday, August 20, from 8:00 AM to 12:45 PM. Only three more days until we see you!

Our staff and maintenance team have been working hard to prepare the school, and we can't wait to have our halls filled with students again.

Don't forget to fill out the crucial Back-to-School forms! These forms help us keep your child safe with essential information like emergency contacts.

Good news: you don't need to buy school supplies. We'll provide everything your child needs. Just be sure to send them with a backpack, lunchbox, and water bottle.

Lastly, please know that student safety is paramount to our team. Everyone will need to enter and exit at the front of the school. We close our front gates at 8 am. If you need to grab a tardy slip, please walk through the front office.

See you all on Wednesday, August 20!
