As we know this season is filled with laughter and happy thoughts, we wanted to provide you two ways to show the spirit of giving to your Coyle staff. 1. Click on the button below for each department to find your student's teachers who they would like to show some holiday cheer. or 2. Remind students about the gift of a smile on a Coyle staff members face with thank yous, comment-less correction and doing their best to show how much they have grown academically on their MAP Math, Reading and Science tests this week. Both ways put a smile on a teacher's face and show they Coyle Cougar Spirit!
Student gift exchanges can occur outside of school time and should not be distracting to the regular educational environment. Oversized or distracting baskets/items will be held in the front office until dismissal.
