Parents- We will have the Kona Ice truck visiting Coulston tomorrow for First Friday! We have a donor who is covering the cost of all staff and students. If you have prepaid for this event already, Kona Ice will keep the payment as a credit when they return in September. We appreciate the private donors' generosity in supporting Coulston Elementary School. Have a good evening and we look forward to seeing everyone back tomorrow and ready for Hawaiian Day!

Good evening Coulston Families. We are excited to see all of our Coulston Comet tomorrow at 7:25! Just a reminder that tomorrow is NOT an early release day, and students will be released at our normal time. Attached is a review of the car rider drop-off and dismissal guidelines. Please be patient these first days since the routine is new for several parents! Please ensure you have a car rider tag if you pick your student up from school. You can call the front office to request a tag. Please double-check your bus information this evening for bus arrival and drop-off times. Remember that on the first day, the buses may run a little early or late since it is the first day of school. So please be patient on these first few days! We are looking forward to seeing the students in the morning! Welcome to the 2024-25 school year!
