Coal Ridge Middle School Weekly Bulletin

Where Excellence Soars


School Building and Coal Ridge Sign

Help us Keep CRMS dart free!

We wanted to make families aware of a recent TikTok trend that has made its way into schools, encouraging students to create paper “darts” using sticky notes and small pieces of metal. Today, we met with all students to discuss why this behavior is unsafe and disrespectful to our school environment.

Our goal is to partner with families to ensure this trend ends quickly. Moving forward, any student found making, possessing, or throwing these darts will receive an after-school detention on Mondays from 3:00–4:15 p.m.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing respectful and responsible behavior at school.

Community Food Drive

Coal Ridge Middle School is partnering with Frederick High School to run a community food drive.  From November 10-14 student volunteers will be at the drop-off and pick-up lines next week to pass out flyers and collect donations. We are grateful to our community and are excited to be able to give back!
