Coolidge staff and students had fun celebrating Halloween with a car parade. The staff dressed up in their favorite superhero costumes and passed out bags of free books and other classroom materials needed for remote learning. We loved seeing our students even if it was from a distance!

Coolidge staff said goodbye to Mr. Frank, our wonderful daytime lead custodian. He retired last Friday. Mr. Frank made great connections with our staff and students. He was always there to help everyone and made all of us smile. His positive energy will be greatly missed. Best of luck in retirement, Mr. Frank! #158Strong #CoolidgeCares

Despite the recent frost, the Coolidge garden still looks great and is producing wonderful vegetables! Ron Wolford from the University of Illinois Extension partnered with Coolidge by donating, planting, and caring for this garden. We are so thankful for Mr. Wolford and his efforts! #CoolidgeCares
Coolidge recently piloted kindergarten assessments onsite! The teachers gained information about what skills each individual child has mastered. This data will be shared with parents on the first quarter report card this week and used to guide their instruction during the second quarter. #CoolidgeCares
Bernie’s Book Bank donated three pallets of books to the students at Coolidge that will be passed out to students on October 30! These books will help all students expand their at-home library collection. #CoolidgeCares
At Coolidge, our assistant principals are teaching small group sessions throughout the day. Here's #158Strong Mr. Byrne working on math with fourth graders! District 158 is providing interventions like these to help students get caught up during these unconventional times. #CoolidgeCares
Need a book to read at home? The Coolidge Outdoor Library is now open! Stop by between 8:15 and 3:15 and borrow a book or two. When you finish the books, bring them back and take more. We know our Coolidge students have learned about trustworthiness, so there is no need to check it out. We trust you to bring it back when you are finished. Happy Reading! #CoolidgeCares
The Coolidge staff would like to say thank you to everyone who decorated our sidewalk with positive messages. What a great way to start our school year! Thank you, PTA! #CoolidgeCares
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year from our Coolidge Cougars staff! We were excited to see 538 of our families yesterday for material pickup. Thank you families for your positivity, care, and support as we begin this unconventional year. #CoolidgeCares

Attention Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that all activities at District 158's five schools - including grab-and-go-meals at Coolidge, diploma pickup at Memorial, and car parades at our elementary buildings - are being cancelled on June 2-3, 2020 due to ongoing safety concerns. The start of summer meals is also being postponed until further notice. We will inform you when these activities will resume and again appreciate your flexibility during these difficult and unprecedented times. This may not be how we were planning to end the 2019-2020 school year but the health, safety, and well-being of our students, staff, and families are of the utmost importance.
District 158's staff will continue to be available remotely and parents who would like to setup individual, reserved registration appointments starting this Thursday, June 4 may still do so. Remember that all appropriate safety precautions will be observed. We wish all of our families well with the end of the school year and start of Summer Break. Please keep calm, be safe, and stay #158Strong!
Sincerely,
Lansing School District 158
