ELEMENTARY PARENTS: Your opinions and feedback are important to us! We are hoping to meet our participation goal for the number of people who have completed this survey, but we're not quite there yet. Please pause for a few minutes to give us your thoughts regarding our implementation of Leader in Me if you haven't already when this was sent earlier.
Coleman Elementary is implementing the Leader in Me, which teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. We are currently conducting a survey to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. Please help us by completing the survey at the following link before May 3, 2021:

Can you be of help? Does anyone know someone from the Coleman Class of 1970 Student Officers? If so, please ask them to contact the Board Office for information to share with their fellow graduates about attending this year's graduation since we were not able to include them last year. We will include graduates from the Class of 1970 and 1971. Please contact 989.465.6060.

4th graders continued their work with plant and animal systems with a trip to the Greenhouse. Students were able to freely explore the Greenhouse with Mr. Nate from Chippewa Nature Center. Mr. Fischer even joined us for a little while to feed the tilapia and talk about hydroponics. Students then picked four plants and wrote three characteristics about each one and tried to name the plant. A nice place to visit on a chilly, rainy day.

Some of you may have received P-EBT cards from the State for your child who have not received them in the past. This is due to some of the remote learning during this school year and the CEP free lunch/breakfast program we have in the district for elementary this year. At this link you will find some information sent from the State that may answer your questions: https://5il.co/rnn6
Should any of you with a child in our district age 16+ be interested, the Health Department will be holding a Student Vaccination Clinic. This is being offered as an option for ease of use for those families who wish to take advantage of it, but completely up to the family to decide if they are interested.
The 1st dose clinic will be on April 28th from 2-4:00 p.m.; the 2nd dose clinic will be held on May 19th from 2-4:00 p.m. Parents are welcome to come to the clinic with their child as well and will check in at the marked area just outside of the front doors near the auditorium. Students may also come on their own and can be called down from class. Either way, students must be pre-registered by completing the paperwork at this link https://5il.co/rkhn and submitting it to the school office ahead of the clinic.
Parents are also welcome to get vaccinated if they would like and also need to sign up ahead of time. If you as a parent would like to sign up for vaccination for yourself, please fill out the information at this link: https://forms.gle/62LgzBHQLA5j... We hope that this information will be helpful to you. I apologize that some people were having trouble with the original link.

Shout out from a parent to Comet Alum, Cody Finney. Cody has been assisting at JH track practice, mentoring the shotput athletes. He has also mentored the football team and weight lifting team. I love that he is giving back to his school and our athletes.
