Mrs. Kosinski's 4th grade class just learned how to identify genuine bills vs paper bills by close examination! They learned about the Federal/State government and who's responsible for printing money, and that unfortunately, we cannot print our own as much as we wish we could!
Inviting all parents of children with disabilities in the Midland area to join a free, confidential connection and support group. In this group, parents can get emotional support and practical advice from other parents who “get it” and break the cycle of isolation. Get help navigating educational choices, health care systems and even where to get your child’s hair cut.
Whether your child is a newborn baby or an adult still needing support, this group is for you. Any and all disabilities, from low to high support needs, are welcome.
The in-person group meets on Fridays 9:30-11:00, this is a drop in group so you are welcome to show up any Friday, and are not committed to attending regularly. Our online support group is available 24/7 for local parents to connect and share resources and seek help and advice.
The in person group meetings will be led by Iris Mehler, a professional rehabilitation counselor with more than 20 years of experience working with adults and children with disabilities and their families.
To join the online parents support group please write to: themidlandfridaygroup@gmail.com where you can also receive information about the in-person support group meeting location. Both online and in person groups are strictly for parent-caregivers and are not open to professionals, vendors and/or other community members.

Today we recognized our School Resource Officers (SROs), especially Deputy Brandan Hodges, who has been with us for several years now. Deputy Hodges has built relationships with students, staff and community members alike and provides a great deal of information and ideas to ensure the safety of our schools. He is a presence in our hallways, parking lots and at events. He takes the time to give feedback or make adjustments with us for even higher safety, helps guide students, has led numerous professional development sessions for staff, reviews our Emergency Operations Plan annually, creates safety training and attends many events on our behalf, among many other things. The amount of support he gives daily is of huge benefit and support to all that goes on in the district.
We also recognize Deputies Jodye Streeter and Jason Brandt. Deputies Streeter and Brandt work in Meridian and Bullock Creek, respectively, but are available when the need arises just as Deputy Hodges does for their districts. They are just as supportive to Coleman as if they were our own SROs and are incredibly easy to work with.
6th graders completed their Digestion Unit with a Nutrition Smoothie Challenge. Thank you to Mr. Jacob Bowen from Fuel Up Nutrition, Miss Robison from CMU, and Miss Canter from CMU for being our helpers and judges.
Coming up in March: Skilled Trades Night at J. Ranck Electric! Check out the flier for more info.
The district was happy to give a tour of our buildings and facilities to Teri Rink and Rebecca McIntyre from the Michigan Department of Education on January 12th!
Thank you to our students (and staff!) for being on their best behavior and representing our schools so well during their visit. Rebecca had to say this after her tour: "A few things that interested me were the real-world opportunities that are available for students to learn while in school so they can seamlessly transition into the adult world and apply skills such as communication in American Sign Language, raising livestock, working on John Deere tractors, operating a restaurant and preparing and ordering food. Classrooms were very quiet and full of student engagement in each building we went into, and the closed campus certainly has benefits for the entire community. We appreciated the opportunity!!”
Featured here is the Agriscience barn where they were welcomed by Opie, Dairy Moo, and Mrs. Lattimer; the group meeting Mrs. Schuetz at the elementary school; us showing off our Jr/Sr High building; and then, a tour of the kitchen in our culinary program building at the Depot! Thank you, ladies, for the nice visit, we loved having you here!
Spelling Calisthenics! In Mrs. Pelletier's 2nd and 3rd Grade classroom, the students enjoy practicing their spelling words by doing various exercises while spelling. We get our heart rates up while learning how to spell our words. It's a huge hit and almost all the students scored a 90% or better on the last test!
