Coleman Elementary School

MVR-III is excited to announce Dental Safari as our new mobile dental company. Dental Safari offers onsite dentistry with a wide range of services such as comprehensive oral evaluation, digital radiographs, cleaning, sealants, fluoride treatment, in class dental education, and onsite follow up restorative care if needed. Dental Safari focuses on child care at school and brings the office to the patient. Children can quickly visit the dentist and return to class, reducing the amount of missed class time.

Parents will need to complete a consent form to enroll their student for services. Consents forms were distributed at registrations and are also available online at www.DentalSafariForms.com. We look forward to partnering with Dental Safari at these upcoming building visits:

Being a good role model and leader can happen at any age. One of our preschoolers, Jacie, was given the difference maker award this week from our Custodian Ms. Debbie. Jacie picked up trash in the lunchroom without being asked.
Great job Jacie!!💜🤍

Get ready for a new tradition! Join the MVR-III school district for the inaugural "Bridging the Future" event on Friday, September 5th, at halftime of the PHS varsity football game. This special event will bring together our Class of 2038 & Class of 2026. Kindergartners will meet the seniors in the middle of the field, where they will receive a gift to officially welcome them to the district. We ask that all participants wear purple to show their school spirit! Please fill out the form at bit.ly/PHS2KDG if your kindergartner or senior plans on attending, so we can ensure everyone receives a gift. #MVNation

Did you know Coleman Elementary has a preschool classroom? Early childhood education is important for student academic and social success, and preparing them for kindergarten. Last week our preschoolers ended the week with learning Mat Man. This learning tool helps students learn shapes, body parts, and letter formations. They practiced using Mat Man body parts and writing their name. Great job Preschoolers!

Excited for week 2 to start.
