I hope everyone had a great Winter Break! Just like adults, students often struggle with returning to school after an extended break. It is important to work together with our students to help provide for a smooth transition back to a learning environment and the expected norms and rules of a typical school day.
Coolidge School will celebrate Read Across America during the week of March 3rd. More information to follow, but students will take part in various activities in the media center and classrooms to celebrate stories, characters, and non-fiction books.
Message from Mr. Cosman regarding this week’s school musical rehearsals: Check out the updated February Calendar for this week's upcoming musical rehearsal schedule. Contact Mr. Cosman if you have any questions or refer to his email.
We are excited to share details about a special project happening at Coolidge School!
On Monday, March 3rd, all students will contribute to the creation of two new murals in the school hallways. The day will begin with a special kickoff assembly to inspire and prepare the children for this exciting project. Then, under the guidance of our Art Specialist, Mrs. Boyle, and Coolidge parent and graphic artist, Stephanie Teichman, the students and staff will work together to bring these murals to life.
This collaborative effort between Coolidge School and the Coolidge PTO will foster creativity, teamwork, and school spirit. We can’t wait to see the students’ creativity and talent on display throughout the building.
The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA) for grades 3-5 will take place on the dates listed below. For planning purposes, please do not plan vacations, days off, or doctor’s and dentist appointments on these days for your students. Students should arrive at school on time, well-rested, with a positive attitude and approach to try their hardest. Academic assessment will be a part of each student’s academic journey so it is important to begin to establish positive attitudes, an academic mindset, and test-taking strategies. Here are the dates:
5/7-5/8 - NJSLA Grades 3-5 ELA
5/13-5/15- NJSLA Grades 3-5 Mathematics
5/20-5/21- NJSLA Grade 5 Science
