Eagles Super Bowl Pep Rally

Coebourn held a Super Bowl Pep Rally on Friday, February 7th. Our student led event, showcased spirit and creativity. Each class selected a player or coach and designed a WIG (Wildly Important Goal) or leadership quote to share. Plus, we had a fun relay game and an exciting cheesesteak eating contest! We were thrilled to have the Brookhaven Police Department and PDSD Assistant Superintendent Dr. Kuminka join us to participate in the festivities. Thank you to the teachers who assisted with organizing the event and our Coebourn PTL for the festive decorations! Let's Go Birds.

Tech Tip from our Technology Teacher, Ms. Cameron:

In this week's newsletter, we’re diving into the world of generative AI—what it is, how it works, and what parents should know. While kids under 13 cannot use generative AI tools, it's important to understand their potential impact on education and daily life. Over the next few months, I’ll share follow-up articles exploring AI’s role with students and offer suggestions on how we can thoughtfully guide their interactions with these technologies. Stay tuned for more insights!

Important Reminders for Families

• Winter Weather Gear: Please ensure your children come to school dressed appropriately for the season, including winter coats, hats, and gloves. Outdoor recess will be held whenever the weather permits and there is no precipitation.
• Parking Guidelines: Parking is not permitted in the lot located behind the school near the gym/cafeteria. This area is reserved for custodial and cafeteria staff parking. Kindly use the main parking lot or the car line for arrival and pickup.
• After-School Supervision: Parents picking up students from school are reminded to supervise their children closely. Students should not play on the grass at the back of the school. The staff member on duty is responsible for overseeing the crosswalk area only.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure the safety and smooth operation of our school!
