IPADS and ELEARNING
Parents, since we’ve used all our snow make-up days, we will now switch to eLearning days for bad weather. In January and February, teachers will send iPads home with students every Friday, just in case of bad weather over the weekend. Please make sure the iPads come back to school on Monday fully charged, along with their chargers.
Remember, iPads used at home must still follow the internet guidelines in the student handbook. If an iPad is damaged, parents are responsible for repairs or replacement unless you’ve purchased optional technology insurance. Thank you for your help
Inclement Weather Update
Parents as we approach winter weather, please remember the following:
2 Hour Delays-School will begin 2 hours after our normal start time.
Buses will pick up students 2 hours later.
Breakfast is NOT served on a 2 hour delay.
2 Hour Delays on Wednesday will result in school getting out at the normal time of 2:15.
Snow Days will be used before elearning days(MLK Day/President's Day).
Check local tv stations(WTHR/WISH/WRTV/Fox59), our Coulston Facebook page, and website for weather updates and closings/delays.
As the weather is colder, please have your child dress for the weather. There have been several cold days that students were at school without a coat or heavy jacket. If your child is in need of either of these, please contact Mrs. Reed.

We are seeing more of this with our car riders in the mornings. Please make sure if you are providing this breakfast for your child, that they finish eating it before they enter the building.
Also, just a reminder that water bottles can ONLY contain water. Please make sure that your child does NOT bring Gatorade, juice, soda, tea, etc in their water bottles. Thanks so much for your help with this! It is greatly appreciated.
