Together We Shine
Coal Mountain Families,
It has been a wonderful start to the school year! Miners are learning the Miner Mindset - I am responsible, I am engaged, I am capable, I am kind. They are building their classroom communities, learning every day, and having fun on The Mountain!
We are excited to offer a new way to celebrate you Miner! The Miner's Rock at our entrance is ready to be decorated for your upcoming celebrations and birthdays. See the flyer below to reserve your spot to make your mark on Miner's Rock!
As we move further into the school year, we have many events for your family! Check out our dates to know section and our Miner Engagement Flyer below to ensure you don't miss out on any of the fun!
Let’s continue to shine brightly—together!
In partnership,
Kelly Fuchs
Principal
Coal Mountain Elementary
💎Attendance Matters💎
Did you know that regular school attendance is one of the biggest predictors of student success? When students show up each day, they stay on track with learning, build strong relationships, and develop habits that last a lifetime. Even just a few missed days can add up, making it harder to catch up academically and socially. Our Miners do best when they are at school all day, every day!
Let’s work together to help every student show up, grow, and thrive—because every day truly counts!
As a reminder, the latest you can check your child out from the front office is 1:45pm. If you come later than that you will be asked to meet your child through their regular afternoon transportation method.
Additional information regarding Forsyth County Schools’ Attendance Policy, including excused absence information, can be found here.
