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!!

Please see the PTO updates below for the 26-27 school year! We hope that you will join us and be part of the PTO team! We look forward to seeing you at our meeting next month!

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!
