WHERE ARE OUR COYLE GRADUATES?? Jim Dobson (class of 1965) received a B.S. and M.B.A from OSU. He then became an Air Force pilot and flew B-52 bombers in Vietnam.

SCHOOL DAY PICTURE PROOFS AND ORDERS WERE DELIVERED TODAY TO STUDENTS. IF YOU PLACED AN ONLINE ORDER, IT SHOULD COME DIRECTLY TO YOU. SCHOOL DAY PICTURE RETAKES WILL BE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28. NOTES WILL BE SENT HOME TOMORROW FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE ABSENT ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 9. SPRING SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL SCHEDULES HAVE BEEN POSTED AND PLACED ON THE SCHOOL CALENDAR.

Students working at OSU tomorrow need to wear their black t-shirts under their bedlam hoodies just in case they get hot. If they do not have a black t-shirt, wear the blue t-shirt. Be at the school by 10:15am. Wear proper shoes--no sandals or Crocs. If it gets up in the high 60s to 70s, we probably won't have hot chocolate. Hot chocolate people need to jump in and help elsewhere. Keep things cleaned and stocked.

College students please login and check your classes at Redlands. If you do not have a C or better in your classes, you need to withdraw from any class you are doing poorly in today.

Coyle Schools is proud to recognize Chris Jones, JH/HS Math Instructor, as he represents Coyle at the OKSTE Conference at Oklahoma City this week. Mr. Jones is sharing how he uses “Gamification to Revolutionize the Classroom.” He is presenting his concepts on using gamification in math classes from pre-algebra to trigonometry. In February of 2020, he was recognized by KOCO as the teacher of the month for January. Mr. Jones is continually looking for innovative ideas to use to teach math to today’s students who are immersed in technology—cell phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, etc. The traditional methods are enhanced using gamification skills that students already love to use. Congratulations Mr. Jones! Great job!!
