As we approach the end of another remarkable school year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your partnership and support. Together, we have witnessed incredible growth and achievements in our students. They have excelled academically, branched out socially, made new friends, pushed themselves physically, asked insightful questions, demonstrated critical thinking skills, and diligently worked to follow school rules.
This year, we celebrated numerous events and activities that enriched our school community, including:
- Cultural Night
- Library courtyard beautification project
- Book Fairs
- Dress Up Days
- Slime Day
- Rick Edwards Day of Service
- Open Houses
- Student-Led Conferences
- Classroom Parties
- Assemblies
- Party with the Principals
- Honor Roll
- Perfect Attendance
- Positive Referrals
- Class Celebrations
- Classroom Connections
- and SO MUCH MORE!
As we look forward to our Field Day and the end-of-year festivities this coming week, we are filled with gratitude and pride for all that we have accomplished together.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable summer filled with memories and fun. We encourage our students to continue reading and engaging with friends over the break. We look forward to welcoming you back next year, ready for more learning and growth.
With much appreciation and love,
Melissa Fletcher and the COLT staff

Attendance
Quarter 1 through Quarter 3 Attendance: 22students in all
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first 3 nine weeks of school.
Quarter 2 Overall Attendance: 131 students with PERFECT ATTENDANCE
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first nine weeks of school.
Quarter 1 Overall Attendance: 134 students with PERFECT ATTENDANCE
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first nine weeks of school.
If your child has 3 or more tardies, the school will call to conference to make a plan on how we can improve and arrive at school on time. If tardies become a concern, there will be activities that you will complete as a family at home.
Attendance Guideline:
The limit is 10 unexcused absences in a year. A Truancy Prevention Plan is required after 5 unexcused absences. This allows open communication and a plan to help resolve any issue.
Our campus goal is to increase our overall attendance by 1% per our Campus Improvement Plan. To help us meet this goal, Colt will recognize student perfect attendance every 9 weeks, award a weekly "Golden Present" to the grade level with the most students "present" that week, and report attendance to parents through the Smore newsletter.

Families are welcome to come eat lunch with their child. Guardians and Emergency Contacts will be allowed to eat with the child. Due to limited space, we will monitor the size of the groups, asking groups to eat outside or split to different tables.
This can be a special time to visit with their child about their day or to bring lunch from your favorite place if you would like to! Visitors must sit at a table separate from the lunch tables to eat lunch as we do not allow visitors to sit at student tables. At this time we are asking that they not bring any friends with them to the table when they sit with their families. Photography/videoing is strictly prohibited in the cafe to respect the privacy of all students.
