Coyote Willow Family School

What a way to wrap up the school year! ☀️💙

From classroom clean-up and shaving cream tables to Field Day fun, classroom plays, and sweet treats from our FTO, these final days were filled with laughter, teamwork, movement, and memories.

As we head into summer, we are grateful for a year of learning, growth, curiosity, and community. Thank you to our students, families, staff, and families for helping make this school year so special.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and restful summer. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

This week, CWFS celebrates the educators who show up each day with care, creativity, patience, and commitment for our students and school community.

Behind every lesson, small group, project, performance, and moment of growth is the steady work of teachers who help make learning possible every day.

Thank you to all of our teachers for the attention, attitude, and commitment to our school! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 💙

Rising third graders have been visiting middle grades classrooms for Bridge Days!

Students explored new learning spaces, met teachers, asked questions, and got a glimpse of the exciting experiences waiting for them next year. From hands-on activities to meeting older students, these days help build confidence and excitement for this next step in their Family School journey.

We loved watching our students approach this experience with curiosity, courage, and enthusiasm. Middle grades, here they come!

Today we celebrate and thank Ms. Rachel and Ms. Gina for the care, compassion, and dedication they bring to our school community every day.

From bumps and bruises to reassurance and support, they help keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.

Thank you for the countless ways you care for our students, staff, and families. We are so grateful for all you do. Happy School Nurses Day! 💙

Curiosity on display.

Our Inquiry Fair showcased the questions, investigations, and discoveries our students have been working on across grade levels. From initial wonderings to final presentations, students explored topics that mattered to them and followed the learning wherever it led.

We also celebrated the process of learning, with recognitions like Most Surprising Results, Perseverance in Inquiry, and Most Creative Question. Congratulations to all of our participants!

This is what learning looks like when students are given the space to think, explore, and grow.

Happy Principals’ Day, Ms. Ms. Adrianne! Thank you for starting our school, helping us grow and thrive, and for a million little things every day.

Happy Administrative Professionals’ Day to our amazing Ms. Kathy! Thank you for all you do!

Learning is for everyone—especially our teachers!
Educators from across all grade levels, K–8, recently engaged in an engineering design challenge, collaborating to build paper towers capable of holding weight. This experience reflects our shared commitment to Attention, Attitude, and Commitment, and to creating the kind of engaging, hands-on learning we want for every student.

K-2 Coyotes hit the ground running on our first day back from spring break! As part of our National Parks workshop unit, we had visitors from Valles Caldera National Preserve. We learned about Valles Caldera, the many different ways to be a park ranger, and even got to hold obsidian!
