Dear Coleman Families,
Happy Sunday! Last week was a busy one at Coleman. From picture day to our first Hispanic Heritage celebration, flag making at lunch with students from San Rafael High Schools, Educator Pathway helping out.
During this time of year, students are often pretty tired from the amount of events that we try to fit in as parents. It's a good time to schedule fun outings with your kids while also pausing and having students get ample rest. We suggest sitting down and readng a good book with your kiddo over the weekend.
Shelter-in-Place Drill
The Shelter-in-Place drill was a success. We went over the intercom and announced that this is a Shelter-in-Place. Students who were at PE went inside to the MPR and continued with the doors locked. The remainder of classrooms locked the doors, kept their lights on, and continued learning.
A shelter-in-place is a precautionary measure used to keep students and staff safe indoors while continuing with everyday activities.
Lifetouch Picture Retakes
Lifetouch pictures were in and out on Monday, ensuring that students didn't wait around for an extended period of time and miss important instruction. A few people reached out with questions about makeup and refunds.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, they offer a refund if you are not satisfied with your picture package.
Why do we only get one image to choose from?
They take one image per child, though they can retake it on the spot if needed. When you order online, you can choose from various backgrounds, which will crop the image differently, giving you a unique look.
Is there a fee for make-up photos? Photo Make-up Day is October 28th.
No, there is no fee for make-up photos. If you're not satisfied with the original image, simply return the entire package to the photographer on make-up day, and we'll retake the photo and produce a new package for you.
Hispanic Heritage Celebrations and Potluck
Please join us on Friday, September 26, from 5-7 for an evening of celebrating and honoring Hispanic Heritage. Families are encouraged to bring whatever they can, don't feel shy.
Whether it's a home-cooked dish or something store-bought, it all helps us connect and celebrate together. We are excited to have traditional dancing from Guatemala and Mexico. A huge thank you to the PTO for sponsoring the event.
Soccer Goals
I'm grateful for Anthony Byrne and Andrea Ramirez for donating two sets of goals for our kiddos to play. Our students were thrilled to have kid-sized goals set up for them. Thank you, Aaron Anspach, Jim Houk, Todd MacKaben, and Keith and Amber Camberon for setting up the goals!
