Dear Coleman Families,
It has been a wonderful week at our school, filled with community spirit and important lessons both inside and outside the classroom. Here are a few highlights and reminders as we head into the new week.
Celebrating Our Community
Our Black History Month Movie Night was a huge success! It was truly a lovely evening, and seeing our families, students, and staff come together to celebrate was the highlight of my week.
I want to give a huge shout-out to our school counselor, Ms. Kassy, for organizing this event. Ms. Kassy does a fabulous job of finding ways to bring our community together, and we are so grateful for her dedication to our students’ sense of belonging.
Before the movie Soul began, we were treated to a special presentation by Ms. Laura and our student Green Team. They shared insightful ways we can all reduce waste through better sorting and recycling. It’s inspiring to see our students taking such an active role in caring for our environment!
Morning Drop Off in the Roundabout
Based on recent feedback regarding traffic flow and some "erratic" driving maneuvers, we have dedicated staff members to support traffic control in the roundabout each morning. Our goal is simple: keep our students safe and keep the line moving efficiently.
The "Fast & Friendly" Drop-Off Guide
1. Before You Leave the House
-
The "Hug & Kiss" Rule: Give your hugs and well-wishes before you get in the car. This saves precious seconds at the curb!
-
Ready to Launch: Pack backpacks and lunchboxes right next to your student so they can grab them and exit immediately.
2. Entering the Roundabout
-
Take Turns: Southbound and northbound traffic should use a "zipper merge" style, taking turns turning right and left into the circle.
-
Respect the Crosswalk: Please do not block the crosswalk. Our pedestrians need a clear, safe path to reach the front doors.
3. Filling the Circle
-
Pull Forward: The first car in line should pull all the way up to the stop sign.
-
The "First Six" Rule: To keep things orderly, students should wait to exit the vehicle until they are one of the first six cars in the line.
4. The Exit
-
Independence is Key: Students should be able to open and close their car doors independently.
-
Sidewalk Bound: Once out, students should head straight to the sidewalk and toward the entrance.
