Coronado

Kinder Music Programs today!!! 9am- Mrs. Cameron's Class 10am- Mrs. Crosby's Class 11am- Mrs. Hancock's Class Reminders: Visitors must get a visitor pass! If you want one of your other children to watch, you must ask the office to call them out of class. Please do not go to student classrooms or wander the halls as all of the other grade levels are still in class learning. If you want to check your child out after their program, you must check them out in the office.

Don't forget about our Food Drive! We have a goal of collecting 1000 items by December 15th. If we reach our goal, Ms. Bond will take a pie to the face in front of the whole school!!!

Our quarterly Site Council Meeting will take place this evening at 6pm. All are welcome to attend. It will be held in room 8 of Coronado Elementary School. Site Council is a group of people who collaborate for school improvement!

Please send your kids with jackets and write their names on the tags!!! Here is our policy in our handbook on cold weather! Cold Weather: We will only have inside recess during the school day, if the temperature is below 20 degrees F, or if there is heavy snow or rain fall. We do take into account the wind chill when determining the temperature. We have used this guideline in the district for quite some time. If your child does not have a coat there are many coats in the lost and found they can use. Of course kids with health issues can be exempt. Our policy is much like many other schools in the White Mountain areas. Children benefit from vigorous exercise and need to be given the opportunity to play outside whenever possible. Also please remember that the doors of the school are not opened until 7:45 am.

Our next Site Council Meeting will be held on November 30th at 6pm!!! All are welcome!!

We really enjoyed having so many family members come and eat Thanksgiving with us today! I love this tradition so much! We were able to serve over 300 people, just at Coronado! Thank you all for being so patient in the long line! I loved the way parents reminded their children to say please and thank you as they went through the line! A huge shoutout also to our amazing cafeteria staff for cooking such a delicious meal and handling the stress of serving so many people as quickly as possible. I was privileged to help and I am so impressed by their work ethic and all they do day in and day out!

Tomorrow (11/15) is Thanksgiving in the Cafeteria!!! We love this tradition so much! You are welcome to eat with your student, however you must check in with the office for a visitor pass and please have cash handy to pay for your meal (Exact cash will make the line go quicker). If you plan on eating with your student, you must wait in line with them. If you are getting a "To-Go" order please pick it up between 10:50-11:10. Please be patient and expect long lines!!! Students do have recess after their lunch periods, but are welcome to sit and eat as long as they need to. We will do our best to not disrupt their schedules as much as possible as we do need them back in the classrooms learning! Kinder: 11:15-11:40 2nd Grade: 11:20-11:40 1st Grade: 11:40-12:00 3rd Grade 11:50-12:10

Happy World Kindness Day!!!!

Coronado students learned a lot about Veterans Day this week! Thank you to all who have served, secured our freedoms, and have kept us safe. Thank you to Rhonda McCarthy for the idea of a Veteran's wall and the donation of American Flags. Reminder: There will be no school tomorrow: Nov. 10, 2023

Mark your calendars!!! Our Scholastic Book Fair will take place the same week as our Christmas Music Programs. December 7th- 14th (8:30am-3:00pm.) Books make excellent Christmas presents. Help us add new books to our school library by purchasing books for your family!!!

Halloween was so much fun, but now it is over. Please do your best to prevent your children from bringing candy to school. We've got candy wrappers everywhere, especially on the busses, where it is definitely not allowed. Thank you!!!

Huge Shout-out to the staff and students of St. Johns Unified School District. For two years in a row, they have produced an "A-Rating." Coronado itself does not receive a letter grade, but they contribute to the middle school's score and obviously build that strong foundation that helps create excellence in our district!!!

Great news! The Arizona State Board of Education released school grades over the weekend, and SJMS and SJHS both received an "A" rating. Coronado Elementary does not qualify for a school grade, but their proficiency scores are calculated in SJMS' school grade. Overall student proficiency was up across the district. We are so fortunate to have the teachers, administrators, aides, and other staff members that we have who are so dedicated to seeing students succeed. We are so proud of them!
