Coates Family Newsletter for 6/3/22

Dear Coates Families,

As the end of year approaches there are always amazing people to say farewell to as they start new adventures.

  • Lucie Traylor, special education teacher, is transferring to South Lakes High School.
  • Laura Klak, first grade teacher, is transferring to Freedom Hill ES.
  • Paula Cortes, reading teacher, is transferring to Brookfield ES.

Trish Bellman and Michaela Madsen, both ESOL teachers who have helped many students at Coates ES, are retiring this summer.

Pat Schools, office assistant who has supported the Coates office for many years, is also retiring this summer.

We appreciate their many dedicated years of service to the Coates ES community. We will miss everyone and wish them well!
