Coloma Junior High
Family Newsletter for the Week of 12/18/23
Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
We are sprinkling a little fun into the last week before Winter Break. We will be playing a game, the rules are listed below. It is designed to encourage students to interact with each other and have some fun with the chance to win a prize at the end of the day.
Honor Cub visits Shuler Dairy Farm
The JH Honor Club visited Shuler's Dairy Farm on Friday after school in Baroda. Students were able to learn the ins and outs of a dairy farm. Students also had an opportunity to milk a cow, meet a calf, and see a bull. Shuler’s uses the latest in robotic milking technology and ventilation systems. Happy cows = more milk!
6th Grade ELA Holiday Writing
Activity Period
We will have a whole school celebration during our last period on Friday. All students will have the opportunity to choose their activity. Students will receive a google form via e-mail on Monday that will allow them to select their activity. Activities range from a Volleyball Tournament, and Holiday movies to Board Games and Card Games.
Messages During the School Day
Just a reminder that we cannot pull students from class for phone calls. We are happy to take a message and have them call you during passing time or their lunch.
Preparing for the End of Semester
At the end of the semester classes will have either an end of unit assessment, project or exam. Each class may be structured slightly differently based on content, grade level and academic appropriateness. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about what the end of the semester might look like for each of their classes. They can begin to prepare now by reviewing material, ensuring that all of their practice assignments have been submitted and staying focused in class.

Academic Support
In an continued effort to support our students and provide more opportunities for growth, I would like to offer my help for an Academic Support group during lunch hours a few days a week in the library. There will be a daily announcement as well as a sign up sheet in the office on the days the group is offered. Space will be limited to 15 students each day. Any students that have a lunch detention or are assigned a working lunch by another teacher will not be eligible to attend. My hope is to continue to offer academic support next semester for anyone that needs it.
As a friendly reminder, CJHS also offers after school study hall Tuesdays through Thursdays from 3:05-4:05pm for interested students.
