Hello Coolidge Corner School Families and Friends,

It was absolutely wonderful to welcome back so many of our students and families this morning during arrival and drop off.  We missed seeing everyone's bright smiles and warm good morning greetings.  We hope that you all had a happy, relaxing, peaceful, and safe start to the New Year.  

Below are some reminders about arrival and dismissal at our school.  Please reach out with any questions.

School Hours

School starts promptly at 8:00 a.m. Mondays- Fridays and ends at 2:30p.m. Mondays - Thursdays and 1:40 p.m. on Fridays.  

School Access

Our doors are locked at all times of the day.  Each main entrance opens and is monitored by a staff member between 7:50a.m.-8:00a.m. for drop-off in the morning.  Students arriving after 8:00a.m. will need to enter through the Harvard Street entrance and sign in as tardy at the computer kiosks located near the main office.  

We welcome all families to arrive and walk in to the building on Wednesday mornings with their students.  Families are invited to drop off students in the cafeteria or main cooridor on the second floor and then stay to gather and connect with each other in the cafeteria until 8:30a.

There is extremely limited parking around our building.  There are two options for pick-up at the end of the day.
