Estimadas familias de Coal Ridge:

As we approach the middle of February, I am excited to update you on the fantastic accomplishments and opportunities here at Coal Ridge Middle School.

First and foremost, please remember there will be no school on Friday, February 14, and Monday, February 17. We hope you enjoy the long weekend with family and friends.

Logros académicos

Our students have been working diligently in their academic pursuits. Teachers have reported significant progress across various subjects, and it is truly inspiring to see the dedication and effort that our students are putting into their studies. Keep up the excellent work!

Extracurricular Involvement

Participation in clubs and sports is an integral part of the middle school experience. We encourage students to explore various activities to discover new interests and talents. Whether it’s joining the rock climbing club, playing on a sports team, or participating in the art club, these experiences are invaluable for personal growth and building lasting friendships.

Exploring New Opportunities

Middle school is a time to try new things and step out of comfort zones. We believe that exploring different interests helps students develop a well-rounded character. Encourage your child to take advantage of the many opportunities available to them here at Coal Ridge.

Reto de lectura «EPIC» en casa

We are also excited to invite all students to participate in the EPIC At Home Reading Challenge. This initiative encourages students to dive into new books and explore the wonders of reading. It’s a great way to enhance literacy skills while enjoying some quiet, reflective time.

Device-Free Time

Finally, we encourage everyone to put away their devices over the long weekend and engage with family and friends. It’s important to unplug and connect with those around us, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. We are proud of the hard work and spirit our students bring every day.

Un cordial saludo,

Natalee Swan, directora

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information about our programs and activities. Enjoy the long weekend!

The school will be closed on Friday, Feb. 14, and Monday, Feb. 17. Please enjoy the long weekend.

Parent Corner: The Power of Yet

The concept of the “power of yet” is a transformative approach to fostering a growth mindset in students, which can significantly impact their learning. According to research by psychologist Carol Dweck, a growth mindset encourages students to embrace challenges and view failures as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks. When students say, “I can’t do this,” adding “yet” to the end of the sentence transforms their outlook. This small word shift helps our kids understand that their abilities can be developed through effort and hard work. It promotes resilience and perseverance, which are essential in overcoming obstacles and achieving success.

Parents play an important role in nurturing this mindset at home. By encouraging children to take on new challenges and praising their efforts rather than just their successes, parents can help reinforce the idea that intelligence and abilities can grow over time. Rather than solely on the end result, it’s important to focus on the process—such as the strategies used, the effort put in, and the progress made. Discussing challenges and setbacks can also create opportunities for children to reflect on their learning experiences and develop problem-solving skills. By modeling a growth mindset themselves, parents can inspire their children to approach learning with curiosity and optimism, ultimately helping them become more resilient and successful learners.

Coal Ridge Middle School Vaccination Rates

To keep students healthy and learning, Colorado law requires all K-12 students to be vaccinated against diseases like Hepatitis B, DTaP, MMR, Polio, and Varicella unless an exemption is filed. Before the first day of school, families must provide an up-to-date immunization record, an in-process plan, or a Certificate of Exemption.

Required vaccines include final doses of DTaP, IPV, MMR, and Varicella before kindergarten and one dose of Tdap before sixth grade. Additional recommended vaccines include COVID-19, HPV, flu, and meningococcal.

Annually, schools and child cares must report immunization and exemption numbers (but not student names or birthdates) to the state health department. Schools do not control their specific immunization and exemption rates or establish the Vaccinated Children Standard of 95% for all school-required vaccines, described in §25-4-911, CRS.

Coal Ridge Middle School’s annual MMR vaccination rate is 95.6%.
