A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Summer has officially arrived!! Everyone is looking forward to the break and we are deep into
planning for the September start of the new school year. I want to wish our graduating
seniors all the best as they move on with their education. I must say that this year’s
Graduation was the smoothest of the five graduations that I have been here for. The
graduates all did a wonderful job and it was a great day. Our newest alumni will be cherished
as they join the growing family of all Coleman alumni.
Please encourage any family or friends to think about Coleman for their children’s education.
Ask them to contact us for a tour or just to talk about what Coleman can offer. You and your
children are our best advertisement. We are very pleased with the Regents Exam results this
June. Our passing rate and exam scores far exceeded the state levels. It is a good testimonial
to the vigorous work of our teachers and the preparation of our students. Please share this
with anyone you can.
There will be some opportunities for summer service hours here at school. Please contact the
office and we will put you in touch with Mr. McCabe or others who will be doing projects here.
The process for our new digital sign continues and we have a tentative completion date for the
middle of August. Please look for it then.
As I have mentioned before, we will be hosting a Youth Retreat weekend September 15 – 17.
It will be run by Camp Veritas with their very capable and experienced staff. Registration will
be up soon on their website. I sincerely hope all our students take advantage of this
wonderful faith-filled opportunity. The weekend will culminate in a Sunday morning Mass said
by Cardinal Dolan. We expect a few hundred students from across the Diocese and will be
looking for some of our own volunteers to assist. More info will follow as the event gets closer.
Now begins the summer vacation. The summer office schedule is listed in this mailing. We
will be closed on Fridays. Rest up, recharge, and relax. Please continue to keep all in the
Coleman family and community in your prayers and ask God’s blessings on all.

A MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE:
A happy and healthy summer to all! A few things to remember… A current physical exam (dated after 9/2016) is required for 10th graders, for interscholastic sports and working papers! Students wishing to participate in competitive sports are required to have a physical examination in advance of the sport. This examination must be done within one year prior to the beginning of the official start date of the sport. Physical examinations this summer will be done at Bailey Middle School fulfill the requirement for all sports during the next school year. Athletic examinations may be done by the school physician or the student’s physician. The school physician performs examinations at KHS between July 1st and August 15th.
