Need a book to read at home? The Coolidge Outdoor Library is now open! Stop by between 8:15 and 3:15 and borrow a book or two. When you finish the books, bring them back and take more. We know our Coolidge students have learned about trustworthiness, so there is no need to check it out. We trust you to bring it back when you are finished. Happy Reading! #CoolidgeCares
The Coolidge staff would like to say thank you to everyone who decorated our sidewalk with positive messages. What a great way to start our school year! Thank you, PTA! #CoolidgeCares

Attention Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that all activities at District 158's five schools - including grab-and-go-meals at Coolidge, diploma pickup at Memorial, and car parades at our elementary buildings - are being cancelled on June 2-3, 2020 due to ongoing safety concerns. The start of summer meals is also being postponed until further notice. We will inform you when these activities will resume and again appreciate your flexibility during these difficult and unprecedented times. This may not be how we were planning to end the 2019-2020 school year but the health, safety, and well-being of our students, staff, and families are of the utmost importance.
District 158's staff will continue to be available remotely and parents who would like to setup individual, reserved registration appointments starting this Thursday, June 4 may still do so. Remember that all appropriate safety precautions will be observed. We wish all of our families well with the end of the school year and start of Summer Break. Please keep calm, be safe, and stay #158Strong!
Sincerely,
Lansing School District 158
