FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE ASSESSMENT THIS WEEK

As a reminder, fifth grade students will be taking the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment- Science (NJSLA-S) on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Please ensure students arrive to school on time to avoid make-ups. Information about this assessment is included in the following letter. 

SPECIAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR'S PARENT MEETING

The final  Special Education Director's Parent Meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday, May 15th at 1:30 p.m. in the Special Services Conference room at Sicomac School. 

Please RSVP to Karen Riley at 201-848-5690, ext. 3312.

CLASS PLACEMENT

The placement of children in classes for next year is a significant and important decision. Please be assured that the teachers and I will spend many hours considering your child's placement.
 
This is a thoughtful and collaborative process whereby many variables are taken into consideration.  Your child's present teacher, the reading specialist, the math specialist, the guidance counselor, other staff members and I seek to create heterogeneous classes of equal size at all grade levels. 
 
When class placement decisions are made, they will reflect our best judgment on individual and group needs. Please know that your child and every child at Coolidge School will receive full consideration in determining his/her class placement.  

Although we welcome parent feedback regarding information about your children, please understand that making direct requests to teachers puts them in a very difficult position and compromises the process we have put in place.

We trust you understand our position on this matter.  Your cooperation and support are greatly appreciated.

MOVING? NOT RETURNING TO COOLIDGE NEXT YEAR?

In order to anticipate enrollment for next school year, please be kind enough to let us know by June 1st if your child(ren) will not be returning to Coolidge School in September. Please contact Carol Gneiding in the Coolidge front office.

CALLING ALL ARTISTS/PAINTERS

Thanks to some final grouting completed by Mrs. Boyle, our mosaic project is just about complete. All that is left is some touch up painting that needs to be completed around each piece. If you are able to volunteer to work on this for us that would be greatly appreciated. Please let us know.
