Principal’s Message
Coleman Wildcats Families and Scholars:
Thank you for visiting our website and choosing Coleman School for the 2022-23 school year!!! In addition to our website, you may also find our presence on our Facebook page and Instagram. We are so excited to begin the 2022-23 school year with whole-school assemblies and a reboot to build up our school culture. It is important for us to connect with our students and families. We want to establish and maintain a positive relationship with our community as family. Community support makes our school even stronger.
We call our school community the “Wildcat Family” because we want our school family to be an extension of your family. We want to serve you in times of joy, happiness, and triumphs. Academic learning and growth is our bottom line; however, we also understand that educating students means being attentive to the “whole child” and caring about their social and emotional well-being.
This year, you can expect to have in-person parent meetings, student incentive assemblies and middle school sports; basketball, and track (girls and boys). Our scholars in grades 2-8 will also have the opportunity to try out for cheer/dance, step and choir. Again, we want to support and teach the “whole child.”
With that in mind, you are invited to be an active participant at Coleman School. Whether you’re a member of our Coleman School Parent-Teacher-Student Association, a classroom mother or father, or supporter of our sports program, you are encouraged to be an involved member of our community. Research on schools demonstrates that parent participation in their child’s school coincides with greater likelihood of academic success for their child.
If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a call. I can be reached at (901) 567-7068 or ljeems@myjourneycs.org. I look forward to having a long and rewarding relationship with you and your family as we fulfill our mission of Paving Pathways to Success for our students in the Raleigh Community.
Educationally,
Latoya Jeems, Principal
