Remote Learning Update
We are so pleased to see the continued progress in the online classes and the paper packets that have been returned. Parents, teachers may reach out to you or your child if they notice that they are struggling to complete assignments. Our goal is simply to support your child through this process in any way that we can.
Parents, remember we are not expecting you to be your child's teacher. Of course, we would like for you to check your child's progress, however, if you find yourself or your child becoming overwhelmed with school work, please encourage your child to reach out to their teachers. They can chat with them online during virtual office hours, or send them an email. Teachers will be happy to help break down assignments for your child, reteach and and answer questions.

Kids Read Now
This summer Coloma Community Schools will be participating in the Kids Read Now program. This program, which is no cost to you, will provide your student(s) with a minimum of six books this summer!
The program is relatively simple. You will pick your books and the Kids Read Now program will ship them to your house this summer. Attached is the summer reading wish list. Sit down with your students and select nine books they would like to read this summer and select them. Each week, your student will receive a book that they are expected to read. When they finish, there are a few questions to discuss with the student. Then you report the code and the next books will be sent to your student.
More directions will be coming to you from Kids Read Now soon, but if you would like to get a head start on selecting books for your child this summer, please use this link and enter either your email or phone number that are associated with your PowerSchool account.
