We are planning to open up a Student Lounge to provide an incentive for some of our students who are recognized for positive behaviors in school. This idea was born out of the Creativity Lab last year when a few students developed a proposal for a “Chill Room”. |
We are outfitting this room w/ some board games, card games, and even video games. If you have any video game consoles (or other games) that you would like to donate, we are very happy to provide you w/ a donation letter for a tax write-off. Please just label the donation with your name and estimated value and bring them into school w/ your child. We will email you a donation letter.
Thanks for helping to support this new initiative!
From October 30th through December 8th, sixth-grade students at Coates Elementary School will receive two lessons on the topic of sexual harassment. These lessons seek to provide students with the necessary information, resources, and strategies to help prevent occurrences of sexual harassment as well as outline the steps to take if they feel they or their peers are targets of these behaviors. In addition, the lessons share how schools support targeted students so that they can continue to focus on learning in an environment that feels comfortable and secure. Parents/guardians may request to view these two lessons prior to deciding whether to opt their child(ren) out of the lessons. Please reach out to the school counselor for instructions on where to preview the lessons.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of the two sixth-grade lessons on the topic of sexual harassment. Letters and the opt-out form went home and Friday, September 29th or will be in your student’s Thursday folder on October 5th that provide more information on how to opt your sixth-grade child out of the lessons about sexual harassment.
