Welcome Back, Kohlberg Families!

We hope everyone enjoyed a restful and joyful winter break. We are excited to welcome our students back to campus on Wednesday as we begin the new semester together!

The start of this new term is a very important time for learning, especially for our upper grade levels as they prepare for the instructional goals ahead. Strong attendance and daily engagement make a tremendous difference in student success, and we truly appreciate your partnership in helping your child start the semester focused and ready to learn.

Thank you for your continued support of our school community. We look forward to a productive and successful semester with all of our Coyotes!
