For the week of December 5th
Hello December!
It definitely is beginning to feel like winter. Please make sure your students have coats, hats, gloves on a daily basis for outside recess. They will also need snow pants and boots on days that it is snowing or there is snow on the ground.
Just a reminder that we have an 11:45 dismissal on Wednesday, December 7th.
This week we are also beginning some of our holiday spirit days. This week we have Red & White Day on Wednesday and Winter Sparkle (like snow) on Thursday. Friday will be our normal Coaler Spirit Day.
Have a great week!.

December Calendar
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
DOORS OPEN AT 7:55
- Remember W. Second Street is a one way street going east.
Drop off and pickup will be on the south side of the building on W. Second Street. For the safety of all of the children that are being dropped off and picked up, please pull into the no parking zone (parallel to the road) and let your child exit the vehicle. We ask that you then exit the spot and pull forward onto the street again. Parents should not be exiting their vehicle this year, as it will be a continuous drop and go lane.
Pick-Up
- Pickup will also be along W. Second Street. It will be a pick up and go as well. There will be no parking, so the first several cars will be pulling into the no parking zone and waiting until dismissal. We ask that the cars fill in and pull all the way up to the parking lot. From there, cars will fill in as cars leave. Teachers will be out with their classrooms making sure that students are getting into their parents vehicle in a safe manner.

Backpack Program
The Coal City Backpack Program, a non-for-profit organization, is pleased to offer a food Backpack Program to area students in need. The Backpack Program will drop off a specific number of bags of food to the school, which will then be distributed once a week to children enrolled in the program. The bags will contain a variety of nutritious, non-perishable food items such as macaroni and cheese, fruit cups, granola bars, raisins, juice boxes, crackers, oatmeal, and applesauce. The bags may include products containing peanuts, wheat, milk, or other common food allergens. It is your responsibility to ensure the items are appropriate for your child to consume. The food will be in nondescript plastic bags, which can then be put in your child’s backpack. The Backpack Program is voluntary and is offered at no cost to participants. We request that you complete the online form below as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact our school counselor, Cristina Schultz, at 815-634-2334 ext. 4004 or cschultz@coalcityschools.org.
