Looking for Room Parents!

Our teachers work so hard all year, as do our students. As a Room Parent, you get to help them have some fun! Room Parents plan the Winter Party (in December) and End of Year Party (in June). You will have the support of your class parents and the Room Parents Committee to assist you with this task. You can come up with your own plan or you can brainstorm with the other room parents in your grade.
If you are interested, please let your teacher know by Thursday, September 16. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Kacey Harris, Room Parent Committee Chair, at [email protected].

There will be a meeting on Wednesday October 13 to discuss everything via Zoom. Thanks in advance for all you do to support our teachers and students!

Calling All Kindergarteners and New Cool Spring Students!

We have two exciting events planned for Saturday, August 21, 2021 at Cool Spring Elementary School.

9:00 – 10:00 a.m. – Kinder Camp for all rising K students

We have planned this as a drop off event in order to help with the first day jitters and provide a gentle transition into kindergarten. We have scheduled one hour to explore our school and engage in meaningful activities that will be led by our kindergarten teachers. It will have a significant positive impact on your child and set the tone for a successful school year.

If you have any questions about Kinder Camp, please feel free to contact the office at (804)723-3560 or send an email to Kim Snellings at [email protected].
