Gotcha Party Kick Off

Our Gotcha kick off was a huge success. Our clown, Mrs. Duncan, showed the children how to NOT behave. We explained our three school rules and showed the children what had to be done to earn gotchas. Our Gotcha parties will be next week! Please help your children by encouraging them to earn five gotchas before the big party!

Welcome Back

We had a fantastic first day of school! Here are some snapshots from the end of the first day (car riders and buses rolling for the first time)! We are gearing up for a fantastic year! :)

Adequate Yearly Progress

Our schools must meet standards annually based on the No Child Left Behind Act. These goals are called Adequate Yearly Progress. If you meet these goals annually then you are NOT in the category of a school that needs improvement. If you do not meet the goals you are considered a needs improvement school. The scores from the SAT 10 and the Alabama Reading and Math Test are what the state department uses to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). I am excited to announce that our information was just released from the State Department of Education and we are not in school improvement. The third and fourth grade students at Robinson Springs Elementary School met 21 out of 21 goals. Our students (k-2) do not actually take the test, but we are considered a feeder school. Since our students "feed" into Robinson Springs our Adequate Yearly Progress is determined by their scores. We are so proud of the hard work of the teachers and students from K-4 at CES and RSS.

OUR SCHOOL MET ALL OUR ANNUAL GOALS - WE MET ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS!!

2008-2009 Opening of School

We are gearing up for the upcoming 2008-2009 school year. Teachers will contact parents either through the mail or by telephone by August 4th. If you have not heard from your child's teacher by August 4th, then please call the school. We will not release teacher information to anyone calling before August 4th. Our Open House for Kindergarten will be held on August 5th at 6:00 PM in your child's classroom. The Open House for first and second grade will be held on August 7th at 6:00 PM in your child's classroom. Please feel free to come by the office with any questions. We will have an updated bus listing available if you have questions about which bus your child should ride. School will start on August 11th with the Kindergarten students following our traditional staggered start. The teachers will have all the information needed at the Open House. All supply lists are located on our school website www.mycoosada.com. Thank you for your continued support of Coosada Elementary School! We look forward to a successful school year!
