Distinctive Academic Programs:
Strong parent support is a hallmark of the Coolidge experience. Parents assist by reading to students, tutoring students, assisting in classrooms and working in the school library. Their participation at the elementary level provides a strong foundation for their efforts at the middle school and high school levels. An attitude of community service is encouraged with an annual food drive for the needy.
A well-equipped computer lab and an excellent library-facilitated reading program have helped Coolidge kids establish a tradition of high achievement test scores.
Parental Involvement:
The Coolidge parent organization is organized as a PTO (Parent Teacher Organization). Some major projects include skate nights, an all-school directory, yearbook, carnival, sock hop and a family night dinner and raffle. The organization also sponsors field trips for students and a scholarship for a Neenah High School graduating senior who is a Coolidge alumni.
