Don't forget about the Small Group Sit-Down at the Villa Ridge Fire House at 7:00!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Homecoming Parade! The students will be released at 1:10 PM.
As we head into a new month, we want to celebrate our students and our families for making attendance a priority! Every school day matters. When students are present and engaged in class, they have more opportunities to learn, participate, build relationships, and stay on track academically. Even missing a few days can add up and impact a student’s learning.
September Attendance: 93.2%
We have a new goal for October: 95%! 🎯
Let’s work together to make October our best attendance month yet! Every day counts. Every student matters. Every minute of learning makes a difference. ❤️📚
Thank you, families, for helping our students be present, prepared, and ready to learn!
And don’t forget… Homecoming Parade tomorrow at 2:30 PM! 🎉🏫
Please check out this week's Smore for more information about all of the upcoming events!

Coleman Elementary preschool students celebrated the end of their circus unit with a fun-filled parade around the school. 🎪
Students from every grade lined the halls to cheer on our ringmaster, clowns, and animals as they made their way through the building. To make the celebration even more special, Principal Gish and school counselor Ms. Wengler-Gomes helped deliver balloon animals, made by Mrs. Gish, for each student to take home.
What a wonderful way to celebrate learning and bring smiles to our school community!

Word detectives were at work in 2nd grade at Coleman Elementary! 🔎
