Reminders of Non-Negotiables at Coolidge Elementary School
Guided Reading - using the guided reading strategy is required at Coolidge.  You should be meeting with small groups of students DAILY.  The 90-minute reading block is a State Law for students in K - 3rd grade.
Safety:  Just a reminder - NO student should be sent to the hallway and left unattended.  This is a safety hazard and if they get hurt/leave the building you would be held responsible.  
Recess:  All students at Coolidge Elementary will have recess.  Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and youth. Even if it is indoor recess students need the opportunity to play.
