Welcome Back!

Welcome back! School starts Thursday and the Coles teachers, staff, PTA and volunteers have been hard at work preparing for a great school year.

On the first day you will receive a Back to School Packet. If you want to get a head start on filling out the Family Information Form or sign up to be a Room Parent, you can head straight to the links now or check out the whole packet here. Please make sure to read that packet and return all forms by September 9.

We have loads of fabulous events and enrichments planned and are constantly coming up with new ideas. The best way to keep track of everything happening is reading the eBlast each week and checking out our website. Make sure to follow the JA Coles PTA Information Page and the Coles Families Page on Facebook.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions to JAColesPTApresident@gmail.com.

Volunteer at the Coles Media Center

Calling on all book-lovers and book-lovers' supporters!

The exciting process of book borrowing and exchange is about to begin at the Coles Media Center! The children always look forward to their library day and we all know how important the love of reading is for their development.

To make this a pleasant and efficient experience for all, we need a few volunteers to assist Mrs. Giannacio with checking out books, and organizing and re-shelving books as students return their weekly selections to the library. Volunteering in the library gives you flexible scheduling, interaction with students and teachers and if you love books, this is one of the most enjoyable (and coveted) volunteer opportunities available!

Please note that parents are not allowed to volunteer during their child's library time. Shifts are expected to start the week of 9/16. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Giannacio at sgiannacio@spfk12.org.
