Welcome back to school! We are so excited to welcome our students on Tuesday, August 25, 2026!
Doors open at 7:50 a.m., and students are considered late at 8:10 a.m.
On the first day of school, all parents may walk their children to their classrooms. Kindergarten parents may also walk their children to class on Wednesday and Thursday.
Please talk with your child about their breakfast and lunch plans. Students are accustomed to receiving free breakfast, so if you do not want your child to eat a school breakfast, please make sure they know.
Dismissal begins at 3:15 p.m. Please ensure your child knows how they will get home. If your child rides the bus, review bus expectations and make sure they know their bus number and bus stop. If your child is a car rider, please review the car rider procedures below.
Please return the free and reduced-price lunch application, green Title I Compact, and yellow handbook sign-off form you received at Back-to-School Night to your child’s teacher.
We want our students at school each day, and we appreciate you trusting us with them. Thank you for choosing Coleman. Let’s make it a great year!
With appreciation and excitement for the year ahead,
Cindy King
Principal, Coleman Elementary
Car Rider Procedures
Cars will need to make two lines in the northeast parking lot. Pull to the furthest point to load/ unload. Stay in your car. Students should be able to buckle themselves independently. If the guardian needs to assist, please park in a parking spot. Students need to load and unload from the right side of the car.
When exiting the parking lot, the right lane must turn right, and the left lane must turn left.
Arrival:
· Students need to be ready to unload quickly. Please make sure bags are packed, coats/shoes are on, and goodbye hugs/kisses are done before dropping students off.
· Students may enter the building at 7:50. If you arrive after 8:10, check your student in at the office.
Dismissal:
· You must have this car rider tag with your student’s name visible in the car rider lane. If you do not have this tag, you will need to pick up your student(s) from the office. (Security and Safety Reasons)
· A staff member will record the number; students will be lined up and dismissed in this order. Please maintain the line order and pull to the sign assigned by the staff member.
· Once traffic backs up onto Beck Road, pull over as far to the right as possible, and turn on your hazard lights. Do not block the school entrance/exit or roads on Beck. If you are entering the line from the east, you must pass the line and join the end of the line.
Please drive safely through the parking lot and on Beck. Always be on the lookout for children.
