Reminder, if your child has 1st semester classwork submitted and returns to in-person learning on Monday, you can drop their Chromebook & charger off for check-in at either school from 1-3 Thursday and Friday 8:45-3 @ the elementary or 8:30-4 at the jr./sr. high.

To be prepared for the second semester, it is still important to wrap up the first semester. Please remind your children the importance of getting all of their work turned back in this week and completed. Grades can be seen in the Parent Connect system, but please remind your child if they just completed things, it will take a bit for teachers to get those things graded. Some of those things, especially at the Jr./Sr. High grade level may be past due and not receive full credit as those students are older. Those who submit all their work at once instead of when it was due, may have to wait a bit to have it graded. Should you or your child have ANY questions at all, please reach out to your child's teacher or the school office.
Chromebook Devices and Chargers can be returned/checked-in at the dates and times below. If you are unable to drop them off due to work, students can bring them back to the office first thing on January 25th. The more devices we can bring in on Jan. 21st and 22nd, the quicker we can get them checked in, wiped down and cleaned and in to the classrooms for use by the students. Devices should NOT be returned until your child has submitted all of their work for the 1st semester. Devices can be turned in at the elementary or jr./sr. high, regardless of which school your child attends. Times/dates for return are:
Thursday, January 21st
Jr./Sr. High or Elementary 1-3:00 p.m.
Friday, January 22nd
Jr./Sr. High- 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Elementary- 8:45 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

As we wrap up the semester, keep your graduation credits in mind. If you're unsure which classes you need to pass to meet graduation requirements, contact Mr. Cone at bcone@colemanschools.net or 989.465.6171. Check with your teachers to catch up on assignments you might have missed and use your option to take the exam to bring your grades up. You will be required to take the exam in any classes you're failing. Semester grades are determined by combining the grades from the 1st and 2nd marking periods and the mid term exam. Failures in any two will result in a failure for the semester.
Winter sports indoor practices will begin/resume on Saturday! (JH girls basketball next Monday & JH boys basketball February 1) Competitions will begin January 25; get in touch with your coaches for details. In addition, ensure your grades will allow you to remain eligible through the coming semester. Per MHSAA guidelines, student athletes cannot fail more than 2 classes per semester or they will remain ineligible for the entire following semester (the remaining winter season and through spring in this case).
Competition schedules are posted on the website's Jr/Sr High events, filter sports: https://www.colemanschools.net/o/jr-sr-high-school/events... . https://www.colemanschools.net/o/jr-sr-high-school/events...
The marking period ends at the end of next week, and grades will count! Make sure your students have turned in all assignments and, for those taking exams, make sure they have what they need to prepare. Please contact teachers or the school office ASAP if you have concerns.
