We loved getting to see everyone who stopped by this week for our two meet-the-teacher nights!

Principal’s Update

Dear Coal Ridge Families,

We are off to a fantastic start this school year, and I wanted to take a moment to share some updates and express my gratitude for your continued support.

Successful Back to School Night!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Back to School Night! It was wonderful to see so many of you there, connecting with our staff and learning more about the exciting things happening at our school. Your involvement makes a significant difference in your children’s education, and we are grateful for your partnership.

Sports Updates: Volleyball and Cross Country

We are excited to announce the start of our Volleyball and Cross Country seasons! Our student-athletes have been practicing hard, and we can’t wait to see them in action. We encourage everyone to come out and support our teams. Let’s show our Coal Ridge spirit!

After-School Clubs Start Next Week

We are thrilled to offer a variety of after-school clubs starting next week! Clubs will run Monday through Thursday from 3:00 to 4:15 PM. These clubs provide a great opportunity for students to explore new interests, build friendships, and have fun. If your child is interested in joining a club, please encourage them to sign up!

Open Communication and Feedback

At Coal Ridge Middle School, our staff is here to support your child’s educational journey every step of the way. We value your feedback and welcome any suggestions you may have. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know what we are doing well and where we can continue to improve. Your insights help us create the best possible learning environment for our students.

Looking Ahead

We are so excited about all the great things happening at our school and look forward to a fantastic year ahead! Thank you for being an essential part of our Coal Ridge community.

Intervention Schedule

Every Monday, we will have a longer advisory period in order to have time for students to get caught up on work and get help from their teachers. 

• Students will start every Monday morning in their advisory class. After taking attendance, if a teacher needs to see a student, that student will be sent to the teacher’s classroom.
• Everyone else will stay in their advisory class and work on goal setting, completing work, or reading a book.

Don’t get caught owing $583 for your child’s iPad
