Principal’s Update

May 5, 2023

Dear CRMS Parents and Guardians, 

This week we celebrated academic success by hosting our NJHS Induction Ceremony to welcome 57 new members.  We are so proud of our students for earning this distinction which promotes the values of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. 

We also spent the week celebrating our staff and educators. We send a BIG Thank You to our PTO and all of the parents who contributed to Teacher Appreciation Week. Our staff definitely felt honored by the tribute.

If you know that you will be moving or changing schools next year, please let us know by emailing Brittney at [email protected].  This will help both us and the new school with planning schedules for the 23-24 school year.  

Finally, as the weather grows warm and the end of the year draws near, we want to encourage all of our students to end the year in a strong and productive mode. We continue to have conversations about kindness and the importance of choosing words and language that is supportive and kind.  Please have these conversations at home as well.  

Sincerely,

Liza

Dear parents of Coal Ridge Middle School

We are contacting you on behalf of the yearbook committee because we would appreciate it if you would participate in our sales. Having a yearbook makes it so you are able to look back on the memories of your child’s middle school years, and watch how they have grown since 2023. The theme of this year’s yearbook is “Linked” and how we, as a community, will always have some sort of tie with this school year. Between friends and opportunities and fun memories, having a yearbook brings a solid tie or link to everything that happened in the 2022- 2023 school year, if you choose to purchase one for $49.
