As a reminder, there is no school for students on Thursday and Friday of this week and Monday (11/11) of next week.
Thank you to the many parent volunteers who helped make Halloween so enjoyable for our students. Students enjoyed all of the fun games, crafts, and activities that were planned! It was great to see all of our students and staff decked out in festive costumes for the day!
Coolidge School recognizes Veterans Day this week and next. Please join me in saying thank you to our veterans for their sacrifice, bravery, and courage in defending the rights and freedoms we have in our country. A special thank you goes out to our own Officer Rob who served four years in the United States Marine Corps.
Our November schoolwide meeting will take place this Wednesday, November 6th. All students and staff are encouraged to wear spirit wear or blue/yellow. Go Cougars!!

Join us for a fun art night where we'll draw beautiful pictures using oil pastels and fall still-lifes as our inspiration! You don't need to be an expert artist – everyone is welcome. Guided by Mrs. Boyle participants will capture the essence of Fall beauty on paper. It's a great chance to try something new and have a great time together with your child(ren). We'll provide all the necessary materials, so just bring yourself and your creativity! Let's make some colorful memories together.

By now, you should have arranged a time and date for a conference with your child’s homeroom teacher. If you would like any other staff members present please let your child’s teacher know. Additionally, feel free to reach out to any special area teacher or other staff member via email to set up a separate conference with them. The Staff Directory can be found here.
Here are some reminders and guidelines on how you can make the most out of your upcoming conference:
● Parents should enter via the main entrance and sign in at the office. You will need your driver’s license. Be prompt and contact your child’s teacher immediately if you have to reschedule. Arriving late to a conference will only allow for a shorter conference since our teachers are on a very tight schedule and don’t want to cut into anyone else’s conference time.
● Before the conference, think about any questions you might have and consider emailing the teacher ahead of time so he/she can be prepared to discuss your questions.
● Fall conferences are a time to discuss progress and map out goals for what’s ahead. It’s only November, so your child should be approaching grade-level standards and may not have mastered them at this time. Be realistic about their goals, celebrate what your children are doing well, and share a growth mindset for what’s ahead.
● If you have questions that you know will go beyond your allotted time, respectfully request that you have a follow-up phone call.
Keep the lines of communication open with your child(ren)'s teachers and the school throughout the year. It is when we communicate, collaborate, and work together that we see tremendous student growth and progress.
Most importantly, don’t forget to celebrate with your child after the conference. Have a conversation with your child to let them know how proud you are of them and share goals and anything you hope to do to continue supporting their growth as a partner with the school. We look forward to seeing you all at the November conferences!
