Greetings Coal Ridge Families,

Fechas importantes

• End of Quarter: Next Thursday
• No School: Friday, December 20
• Winter Break: December 20 – January 6

Take time over the break to relax and enjoy quality moments with family and friends. Encourage students to unplug from their iPads, dive into a good book, and spend time playing outside!

Upcoming Changes for Second Semester
We are implementing a slight change to our Late Work Policy:

• Students may submit late work if they are actively working in class and staying on task.
• If students choose not to work during class, they will receive a Refusal to Work form. This form, explaining their choice, will be shared with parents/guardians.
• Students who are issued a Refusal to Work form will not be eligible to submit late work for full credit.

Our teachers provide ample in-class time for students to practice and complete assignments. If students stay focused and follow directions, they should have minimal homework and fewer late assignments. These changes align with our Coal Ridge Big 3 values.

Other Reminders

• Prepare for the Elements: Students should bring jackets, hats, and gloves to school. We go outside for recess, and proper attire is essential in case of an evacuation or extended time outdoors.
• After-School Activities: All activities and clubs (excluding sports) end at 4:15 PM. Please ensure students are picked up promptly.

If you have any questions about the new policy or other updates, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support in making Coal Ridge a great place for learning and growth!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday season.  I look forward to what 2025 brings for our school community.

Un cordial saludo,

Natalee Swan, directora

School will be closed Friday, Dec. 19, through January 6. The first day of the third quarter will be on Tuesday, January 7.

Parent Corner: Keeping Routines

Winter break is a special time for families to connect and celebrate together, but maintaining a semblance of routine can be beneficial for children. Consistent routines provide a sense of security and help children transition back to school smoothly. While it’s tempting to let schedules slide during the holiday season, incorporating a balance of flexibility and structure can help your child enjoy their break and transition back to school smoothly.

Here are some actionable items to help maintain routines during winter break:

• Keep Bedtimes Consistent: Aim for a reasonable bedtime to ensure your child gets enough rest, even on non-school nights.
• Set a Morning Routine: Encourage your child to start the day at a similar time each morning with activities like breakfast and getting dressed.
• Schedule Reading Time: Dedicate a daily time slot for reading together or independently to keep literacy skills sharp.
• Plan Family Activities: Create a schedule of fun family activities, such as baking or crafting, to provide structure and bonding time.
• Limit Screen Time: Establish clear boundaries on screen usage to encourage active and creative play.
• Introduce a “Quiet Time”: Designate a quiet time each day for relaxation or reflection, helping children unwind from holiday excitement.

By incorporating these practices, you can ensure that your child enjoys a restful yet structured winter break, making it easier to transition back to school routines in the new year.
