Kohlberg Elementary Newletter
Week of 8-31-26
What a fantastic start we have had to i-Ready testing at Kohlberg Elementary! Our Coyotes are working hard, and we are excited to use the information from these assessments to better understand each student’s needs and let the data guide our interventions and instruction.
We are also excited that tutoring has officially started! A huge thank-you to all of our Kohlberg families who are partnering with us by making sure their children attend both tutoring days and stay for the additional 30 minutes. Your support and commitment make a tremendous difference in helping our students grow and succeed. We truly appreciate you!
As we head into a three-day weekend, I hope all of our Coyote families enjoy some well-deserved time together. Please stay safe, get plenty of rest, and enjoy the long weekend!
Thank you for being such an important part of our Coyote Pack!

Donor's Choose for our Broadcast Club
Dear Kohlberg Family,
I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need to succeed, so I've created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers.
Here's my project: Help Our Student News Team with a New Broadcasting Laptop!
Your support would mean so much to my students. In return, you'll receive our heartfelt gratitude.
Thank you for considering a gift to my class!
Cheryl
P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help my students, please pass this along!
