Starting right after Fall Break on Monday, October 19, Coyote Creek is shifting our daily bell schedule by just 5 minutes. This minor tweak streamlines district bus routes and keeps students warmer during winter drop-offs!

Important Note: Start and end times remain the same for most students.

Thank you so much for your flexibility and continued support in helping us keep transportation safe, smooth, and on time for our kids!

Important Reminder: Student Pick-Up & Photo IDs

• Listed Contacts Only: Anyone picking up a student during school hours MUST be listed as a parent, guardian, or emergency contact in Infinite Campus.

• ID Required: Please be prepared to present a valid photo ID to the front office staff/security upon arrival.

Halloween - Parade will be outside beginning at 9:30am. Parents/guardians are welcome to be around the blacktop to view the parade.

Here are some guidelines for costumes:

• No blood, gore, or violent-looking costumes (bloody masks etc)
• No weapons, fake or real (swords, pitchforks, nunchucks, etc)
• Masks are ok for the parade as long as students are able to see, but should be removed in the classroom
• Costumes can be worn to school in the morning, but regular clothes should be worn under costumes or students can bring clothes to change into after the classroom celebration.

If a student has a question that can't be answered with these ideas, Admin is happy to come chat with them.

We are excited to begin a fun new program for babies and toddlers in our area! Join us for engaging book readings, hands-on activities, and a wonderful chance for toddlers and parents to socialize!
