We are so proud of the amazing start to our school year here at Coulston Elementary! Our hallways and classrooms are filled with energy, and our students are already showing what it truly means to be a Coulston Comet.

Every day, we look for opportunities to catch our students doing the right thing. When a Comet goes above and beyond, we celebrate them with Good News Visits and special recognition certificates for being:

• Respectful: Using kind words and honoring our school community.

• Responsible: Taking ownership of their learning and daily actions.

• Safe: Making careful, thoughtful choices in everything they do.

Each week we will feature a few of our Good News Students and Staff!! These students earned the first Office Scott Leadership Award. Great job COMETS!!!

If your child is absent from school, please call the school office at 317-398-3185 by 9:00 and leave a message on the attendance line. Be sure to include your child's name, grade, teacher, and the reason for the absence.

Regular attendance is important for student success. Being at school every day helps students learn, build relationships, and stay on track. Our school attendance goal is 96%. Thank you for partnering with us to support positive attendance!

Parents, here are a few important reminders for the new school year:

• Parents do not forget you can pay for your ipad protection at school. Contact the office at 317-398-3185.
