Dear Coates Families,
This newsletter brings us to the end of the third quarter for our students and into spring break. I know that this time is a welcome to recharge before we go into the last 2 months of the school year. There will not be a newsletter next week while we are enjoying spring break.
The Coates office will be closed during spring break. Should you have a school-related emergency, please contact the School Security Office at 571-423-2000.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Jessica King, Acting Principal
Mrs. Jenn Gray & Mrs. Laura Dinkov, Assistant Principals
We are offering several before school and during school clubs beginning after Spring Break. If you would like to be added to the waitlist for these clubs, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/ZNgccf4o9XKpV5df7. You will be notified over Spring Break through Talking Points/text if your child can participate in a club. Clubs begin the week of April 11th and end the week of May 9th. Please contact Laura Dinkov with any questions at lkdinkov@fcps.edu.
April is the Month of the Military Child, providing an opportunity to recognize and honor the service of Virginia’s youngest heroes, over 80,000 military connected children. Coates will celebrate Purple Up Day on Wednesday, April 20th. We will also hold a spirit week during the week to recognize our military connected students.
