• Greetings, Students, and Families,


    We welcome you to the 2024-2025 academic year at Cole Middle School. As we commence this new journey, we want to emphasize the importance of transparent communication between our school, students, and their families. To facilitate this communication, we provide various channels to inform you about school activities and events. Our website contains essential information about our curriculum, faculty, policies, and updates on upcoming events and extracurricular activities. Additionally, we recommend that you follow us on social media and sign up for the following to stay current on all the latest news and developments: Aeries Parent and Student Portals, Google Classrooms, Parent Square, and our Facebook page.


    Here at Cole, we are committed to your success. We value education, not just as a means to an end, but as a lifelong journey of learning and growth. We believe in the potential of every student, and we provide the necessary support for them to succeed at their highest potential. This support includes personalized learning plans, dedicated teachers, and a safe and inclusive learning environment. Our goal for Cole Middle School’s students is to become independent, focused learners and leaders within our school community, paving the way for higher education and rewarding careers.


    At Cole, we work to inspire each other like we do our students. And we always encourage community members to share their resources to help our children become happy, skilled contributors to our world. We take pleasure in inviting & welcoming our students’ families and other community members to visit our campus, join us to enjoy events and activities and help us support our students’ social & academic development. We ask that you respect our instructional time and honor the protocols we have in place to secure the safety of our students, staff & faculty, ensuring a secure and respectful environment for all.


    We eagerly anticipate and value your partnership. Together, let's make this academic year a resounding success. We are thrilled to embark on this exciting journey with you. Go Crusaders!


    Best regards,


    Michael Richardson, Principal
