The Intermediate End of the Year Carnival was a success. Each grade level celebrated with a variety of activities in the gym. A giant connect four game, cornhole, duck pond, golf, bean bag and ring toss, and Potato sack races were all part of the fun. We can't forget the popcorn and cotton candy, too.

Transportation
Coloma Community Schools remains committed to safely transporting our students to and from school. With winter approaching, we want to remind you that there will be days when we encounter road conditions that may slow our bus routes. We value safety and ask you to be patient should your student’s bus run a few minutes late due to road conditions. If we determine road conditions are dangerous we will cancel school but there will be days when we encounter road conditions that are safe but a slower speeds.
Internet
"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recognized that many households in more rural areas either have no access to high-speed internet or don't have the means to afford high-speed internet. The special Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC-run program to help low-income families pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop, tablet, or internet hotspot.
