Immunizations

State regulations require all students to be compliant with immunization requirements in order to attend school. Students who are not compliant by October 1, 2025 will be excluded from school until the proper documentation is provided.

Our school nurse will be sending home a list by Friday if your child is not currently in compliance. Please know we have made multiple reminders beginning last school year through summer communications, registrations, open houses, emails, phone calls, and letters.

A student is considered compliant in one of the following four ways:

An up-to-date vaccine record turned in to the school nurse
An “In Progress” note from a doctor or health department with a confirmed future appointment for required vaccines
A medical exemption from a doctor
A religious exemption form

To support families, the Franklin County Health Department will be holding a vaccine clinic at PHS and Riverbend on September 26, 2025, from 9:00–11:00 a.m.

Parents do not need to attend the clinic in person, but a signed consent form must be turned in ahead of time.
Consent forms are due now if you would like your child to participate in this clinic.

Please reach out to our school nurse with any questions or to confirm your child’s compliance status.

Our goals as a community will be obtained with strong partnerships between the home and school. Please check out our website, download the free MVR3 App to have the ability to communicate through Rooms, and like us on Facebook.

Our Coleman parent newsletter, called Warrior Weekly, will be sent out every Thursday. This is intended to help your family best prepare for the week ahead so you have plenty of time to know about the 'next' thing going on! Students will also bring home a Purple Thursday Folder each week with flyers and classroom communication!

Track Your Student: Begin tracking your child's bus routes immediately.

If you have issues creating your account, you will need to verify with your school building office that you are listed as the primary guardian in Infinite Campus. Find out more on BusRight on the District website under Transportation.

Any dismissal changes must go through the office by 2:00 PM. Calling the office ensures updates are made in KidAccount and teachers are notified.
**Teachers are focused on instruction—office communication is key.** SAME FOR SACC - ALL DISMISSAL CHANGES WITH THE SACC SCHEDULE SHOULD GO THROUGH THE OFFICE!***

The district is also expanding the Watch D.O.G.S. (dads/guardians of great students) safety program at each K-8 building in the district. If you are interested in learning more about this program or volunteering even 1 day a year as a Watch D.O.G.S. in your child’s school.

Watch D.O.G.S. is a national innovative program focusing on the prevention of violence in our children's schools by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for two purposes:

1) To provide positive male/female/adult role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.

2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. WATCH D.O.G.S. are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and any other father-figures who volunteer as a positive presence for at least one whole school day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S. school.

Please complete the sign up below if you are interested in serving as a WATCH D.O.G.S. at Coleman Elementary.
