Gage Caskinett and Wade Caskinett were chosen for Athlete of the Week for scoring their first goals of the year this week!
Kayden Dow has become a force for us on defense. She continues to improve every day and is very coachable.
The school's lost and found is getting full! If you've lost a sweatshirt, water bottle, or anything else, now is a great time to check and see if your missing item has been found. If any items in the picture look familiar, please have you or your child stop by and claim it! Thank you! 😊
CHAPERONES NEEDED! Elementary students are going on trips for the fall COLTS Day. Click to volunteer: https://forms.gle/MtnfDL6cLK35QBkr9 Trip information will be in your student's folder this week!
We started the morning on the right foot with a school-wide lap around the building, complete with music and unbeatable weather.
It was a great way to wake up, get moving, and kick off the day together. Huge thanks to all the students, staff, and families who joined in! 👟
Athlete of the Week 9/20-9/25:
Congratulations, Laila Wright and Tanner Fleury, for being this week's Athlete of the Week!
Laila Wright is a sophomore on the team and you would be hard pressed to find someone that works harder on the soccer field for 80 minutes than Laila. She does everything we ask of her and more and has been one of our strongest competitors game in and game out.
Tanner Fleury is a sophomore on the team and his relentless effort up front has helped generate good offense and create awesome scoring opportunites for our team. Keep up the good work Tanner!

Health Reminder for Families
We are seeing an increase in cases of strep throat at school this week. If your child is experiencing a sore throat that is not improving, especially with pain or difficulty when swallowing, please have them evaluated by their healthcare provider and keep them home. Please note that strep throat may also cause an upset stomach in children, even before complaints of a sore throat.
A few important reminders:
Please keep your child home until they are feeling well enough to return to school.
Your child should be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
If your child is diagnosed with strep throat or another contagious illness and is prescribed antibiotics, please keep them home for at least 24 hours after starting antibiotics, unless otherwise directed by their healthcare provider.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy and safe!

The District Team brings together parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and other stakeholders to collaborate on important topics that impact our schools. The team's purpose is to strengthen our educational program by ensuring that a variety of perspectives are included in district-level planning and decision-making.
Throughout the school year, the team may discuss topics such as:
Curriculum and instructional programs
Professional development for staff
Student achievement and assessment
School improvement planning
Budget priorities
School discipline and grading practices
Athletics and extracurricular opportunities
Facility planning
Other initiatives that support student success
Serving on the team is a meaningful opportunity to share your perspective, represent the voices of our families, and help shape the future of our district. Meetings are held periodically throughout the school year.
If you are interested in serving as the parent representative or would like to learn more about the commitment, please email me at jmckinley@cpcs.us by Wednesday, September 23rd.
Thank you for your continued support of Colton-Pierrepont Central School.
