In observation of the Memorial Day holiday.


Medication Pickup

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than dismissal time on the last day of school, June 10th. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.

Medication authorization forms for the next school year may be obtained online at:  Student safety and wellness


Free and Reduced Meal Information

For two years student meals were provided at no cost. Students who qualify for free and reduced meals may also be eligible to participate in several fee-based programs at either no cost or at a reduced cost if parents provide a consent to share information form. Learn more about the criteria and process here.

Apply online here: Application

You must send in a new household application for each school year. Applications to apply for the 2022-2023 school year will be available in August.


Student Laptop Collection

All Coates student laptops, chargers and MiFi’s will be collected at the end of the school year.  

  • All students will turn in their laptops, chargers and MiFi’s during school on June 9th. 
  • Laptops for students attending ESY and Coates summer programs (SOAR, YS) will be reissued on the first day of their summer session.

If your laptop or charger is lost, please contact the office and we will send payment instructions. Laptops cost approximately $481 and charger costs approximately $30, depending on the model you were issued. Any device not returned by Monday, June 13 will be considered lost and bills will be issued after that date.
