COLT FAMILY NEWS

As we settle into November, we have a few important updates and some exciting things happening around school!

A few things to keep on your radar this week: The Class of 2029 will be hosting a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser this Tuesday, November 10th from 3 - 6 PM in our cafeteria. There will be no school on Wednesday in observance of Veterans Day. We will also continue scheduling parent-teacher conferences this week and next, so please be on the lookout for communication from your child's teachers with more information.

On Thursday, we're kicking off our COLTS Coins Challenge! Grade levels will compete against one another, so start gathering up that loose change! Every coin counts, and we can't wait to see which grade level comes out on top! More details about the challenge are included below.

Thank you for your continued partnership!

Sincerely,

Emily McGregor

Mrs. Hurley's Global Studies students have been showcasing their learning and creativity through projects displayed in our hallways! Take a closer look to see the thought, effort, and knowledge they've put into their work!

Ms. Cook's class has welcomed Mrs. McGregor to join their morning circle on a few occasions! Together, they've talked about the importance of making good choices and participated in a fun compliment circle, sharing kind words and positive messages with one another.

Our school nurse has shared important information for families regarding required health examinations, immunizations, medications, and student health screenings for the 2026–27 school year. Please review the full letter below and reach out to our school nurse, Kim Distasio, with any questions.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: November 23 & 24

We will have 11:30 AM dismissals on Monday, November 23, and Tuesday, November 24, for Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Elementary: Letters have been sent home to all elementary families to begin the conference scheduling process.

High School: Following Veterans Day, we will begin reaching out to high school students and families of students who are failing one or more courses to schedule conferences. An email will also go out to all high school families welcoming anyone to request an in-person conference, even if their child is not failing a course. Conference schedules will be confirmed the week of November 16.

Our goal is to connect with every family across all grade levels! For high school families who do not have a scheduled conference, staff will reach out by phone or email to share updates and maintain communication.

We value our partnership with families and recognize that student success is a team effort between school and home! Thank you for your continued involvement and support.

The yearbook is now being created by a company called Treering. Ordering will be completed through the company rather than through the school. If you order early, there is a 10% discount on the $38.00 purchase price. As well as the wonderfully low price, each person who orders has two “custom pages” they can create that can highlight his/her child/children. Take advantage of this great opportunity!

PLEASE REMEMBER: YEARBOOKS CANNOT BE ORDERED THROUGH THE SCHOOL, ONLY THROUGH THE COMPANY.
