California law requires that each public school will convene a school site council which is charged with development and approval of the school's improvement plan. The Site Council includes the Principal, Classroom Teachers, and Parents/Guardians.

Coyle's School Site Council meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month 2:30 - 3:30pm.

We are in need of 3 parents/guardians to be on the Council.

If you are interested in being on Coyle's School Site Council, please reply to this email.

Thank you to the parents and guardians that stopped by our Lunch Time Link Up table with Principal Butler and Counselor Cortez at Coyle Cafe on September 5th.

The winner of the $25.00 gift card goes to Camille H.! She picked up her gift card today!

Our next Coyle Cafe and Lunch Time Link Up is Friday, October 3rd!

We have received our September shipment of non perishable food boxes for our Coyle Families!

One per family per month. The boxes are out front by the office.

If you do not pick your student up at regular dismissal times, you can reply to this email and we will send home a box with your student.

This donation is made by the Sacramento Food Bank.

Please do not leave food boxes or unwanted/finished items in the neighborhood. Please dispose of it in a trash can either at School or at your home. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that has updated their information! Our goal is 100% participation.

If we have not received updated information from you this school year, we will be sending out paper again next week with a follow up call/text.

The Annual Student Information Update asks families to update emergency contact information, complete the school funding form, get the 2025-26 family handbook and review demographic information to help schools prepare for the new school year.

We are starting our Coyle Student Store this week! We have created a wish list of items that we would like for our students. Students earn Cougar Cash and in turn earn House points!

https://a.co/cv6IJiN

The purpose of the Coyle Elementary House System is to promote a positive and welcoming environment in which students, staff and community members feel a strong sense of belonging. This supports the Coyle mission of meeting diverse needs of all students by creating a true community in which all students and staff belong.

Each month we learn and work on a different character trait. For the month of September, we are working on Respect.

Each student and staff member is placed into a House. They will remain in the same House every year.

Tiyaga: Determination & Perseverance (Filipino) - Grey/Black

“The difference in winning and losing is most often, not quitting.” -Walt Disney

Pativ: Honor & Respect (Armenian) - Red

“Show respect even to those who don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.”

-Dave Willis

Valeroso: Courage & Integrity (Spanish) - Yellow/Gold

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” - Nelson Mandela

Hady: Peaceful/Thoughtful (Arabic) - Purple

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.” - Ronald Reagan

Dobrota: Empathy (Russian) - Light Blue

“Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.” -Barack Obama

Mahalo: Gratitude/Positivity (Hawaiian) - Teal/Green

“When you focus on the goodness in life, you create more of it.” - Oprah Winfrey

We are hoping to have our Coyle Gear store online in the next week or so. Check the newsletter and take home folders for more information!

Mark your calendars! We have moved our Jog-A-Thon to the fall. We are hoping by moving it to the fall we can ease some of the stress of the busy spring season and we can have a cooler day to run/walk in.

Look for more information to come home soon! We will be doing our online pledges along with cash and check pledges.

Last spring we raised $6,964.60! This money went to PE, Music, and Art supplies and towards our Sun Shade fund! Let's hope we can beat this to get our Sun Shade funded and to help with more Music and Art Supplies!

Would you like to volunteer in the classroom or on field trips? We are recommending that you do it now as the process takes 2-6 weeks to be finalized. You will only need to do this process once while you are in the San Juan District.

Go to www.sanjuan.edu/volunteer

Click on the Volunteer Verification Button

Fill out the information and submit

The District will reach out with the additional steps that you may need to do such as Fingerprinting.

Please remember that the process takes 2-6 weeks after fingerprinting. You cannot volunteer until you have been fingerprinted and cleared so the sooner the better!

If you have been fingerprinted with San Juan Unified School District, you do not have to do it again. It is valid as long as you have students in a San Juan Unified School. If we are notified of any changes to your status, we will reach out to you.

All Volunteers Must Sign in At the Office!

This year we have new late drop off and pick up procedures. Please see below and let us know if you have any questions.

If your student arrives after 7:45am, they will need to come to the office for a tardy clock, the gates will be locked. Students will then enter the school through the door in the nurses room.

If students are on campus but are not in their classrooms at 7:45, they will be marked absent and will need to come to the office to get their attendance changed to a tardy.

Students are to be picked up within 15 minutes of the bell ringing. After 15 minutes, students will be brought into the office to call for their ride. Whoever is picking the student up will need to come to the office to sign the student out.

M,T,W,F - Pick up by 2:30pm

Th - Pick up by 1:15pm

A designated school employee may administer medication during the school hours only upon written request of both the physician and parent(s) or guardian, detailing the method, amount, and time the medication is to be taken.

Medication will be administered only to students whose parent and physician deem it necessary for potentially life-threatening medical conditions or for those who need medication administered during the school day in order to interact appropriately at school.

Authorization forms for medication are available to download below, or at each school office. A new form must be completed before the start of each school year. Medications must be brought to the school office in their original container.
