April 6 - April 10

Opportunity Statement:   Coolidge Elementary will continue to provide all students with academic, social, and emotional growth opportunities through great teaching and the utilization of our community resources.  We will maintain high expectations for all students, as well as expand our efforts to cultivate a positive school culture that encourages intellectual and social growth.”

Our Mission:  “Educate students for lifelong learning and responsible living.”

social growth.”



Distance Learning begins.
Contacting Students:  Please be in contact with your students at least twice a week.  If you do not want them to have your phone number *67 will hide your phone number.

Please do not use ZOOM with students.  To video conference with students please use Google Hangouts.

Flexibility continues to be an important part of our role as educators.  We are in unchartered waters for everyone - and we will be practicing that skill of Lifelong Learners together that are flexible and able to adapt to the changing needs of our students.  Everyone is going to need grace.  Everyone is going to have days where they handle this better than others. Your students still need you and so do I. 

I.E.P. Meetings
I.E.P. meetings can’t happen without EVERYONE present that should be in attendance.  Attendance includes the Special Education Teacher, the Classroom Teacher, an Administrator, and a Parent.  If the parent needs an interpreter that means that we have an interpreter on the call as well.
We are having Distance Learning.  Distance Learning is going to include IEP meetings.  It is the expectation that you participate in these meetings.  You can use your phone or your computer.  Ms. Alvarez will still be assigning interpreters to the meetings.  Ms. Knott let me know that she has been asked to get all her IEP's up to date to September 15th.  For reference she has 55 students on her caseload - so this could mean a lot of meetings.  Ms. Hunt, Ms. Cappellero, Mr. Christian, and Ms. Peake will also be scheduling meetings.  It is going to be busy.
For step by step on using Google Hangouts you can use OKCPS online training, Hoonuit  and type in Google Hangouts.  In about 30 minutes you can learn what you need to get you started.

Thank you Ms. Gorman for sharing this information:
