Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

Welcome to another wonderful school year at Coronado! Whether your child is starting their first day of Kindergarten or stepping into their final year of middle school, we are so glad to have your family as part of our community.

At our school, we believe learning is most powerful when students, families, and staff work together. When children feel supported both at home and at school, they gain the confidence to explore, grow, and reach their full potential.

We are committed to providing a safe, caring, and enriching environment for every student, and your partnership plays a crucial role in making that possible. Here are a few helpful ways to stay connected and support your child throughout the year:

  • Keep routines steady: A consistent homework or reading schedule at home helps students of all ages stay on track.
  • Make reading a daily habit: Reading together or talking about what your child is reading helps build strong thinking and communication skills.
  • Balance screen time: Encourage time for rest, creativity, movement, and conversation alongside technology use.
  • Focus on progress: Celebrate small steps, personal growth, and perseverance—not just report cards or test scores.
  • Support healthy habits: Sleep, nutrition, and emotional well-being are essential to every child’s success.
  • Stay involved: We invite you to use ParentSquare to communicate with teachers, stay informed about school news, and be part of school life.

We’re excited for all that this year holds and feel privileged to walk alongside your child on their learning journey. Please reach out if you ever have questions or need support, we’re here for you.

With gratitude,

JJ Letts
