ELEARNING
Parents, we appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we worked through eLearning days and weather-related changes last week. This is a friendly reminder that all eLearning assignments are due by Wednesday, February 4th so they can be counted for attendance and entered into the gradebook. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
We also kindly ask that iPads return to school charged and ready for learning after each eLearning day. If an iPad is returned damaged, it will be submitted for repair, which may result in a cost for families without device insurance. Your help in reminding students to take care of their devices while at home is greatly appreciated.Thank you for your continued partnership and support!!!
Mid-Terms Quarter 3
Parents, this is a reminder that Quarter 3 mid-term grades will be posted on Friday, February 6. Please be sure to check PowerSchool for your child’s current grades. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out directly to your child’s teacher. Thank you for your continued support.
Valentine’s Day Parties
Parents, our Valentine’s Day classroom parties are quickly approaching! Teachers will be sending home class lists for cards, and will be reaching out with information about party needs, including games, treats, drinks, and other items. Classroom parties will be held on Friday, February 13. Thank you for your continued support and for always helping make your child’s classroom a fun and memorable place.
Just A Reminder….February 16th-School is in session

To keep our momentum going and ensure everything stays organized, please remember that all money from the current box must be returned before your student can pick up their next one.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Coulston PTO.
Let’s make this our most successful fundraiser yet!
Lines from the Library:
As we move into February, our school-wide focus for all students is reading for 20 minutes each day. This month-long challenge encourages a love of reading, and students will be working toward special awards for their participation. We appreciate your support in helping make sure your child is either read to or independently reading for at least 20 minutes daily. This also serves as an early kick-off to our SCS Loves to Read Week, which will take place at the end of February.
