Team picture of students who competed in the National Jump Rope Competition

The Los Coyotes Child Care jump rope team, Jumping Coyotes, received 7 Gold Medals, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze at the National Jump Rope Competition at Disney World Florida this past week. One student also set a National age division record of 80 double unders in 30 seconds. We are so proud of our Jumping Coyotes!

Students who participated in the Cyberpatriots program with Cypress College

At Los Coyotes, our 6th graders are involved with the CyberPatriots program in partnership with Cypress College. In the inaugural year for 6th grade students to participate in this national program, our dedicated teams have trained and competed over the past 8 months.

Technology in the classroom helps the teacher to instantly "know what the students know."

Students in Ms. Kim's 4th grade class use problem solving and game skills to gain a deeper understanding of place value.

It was a full house for the first PTSO meeting of the new school year

Flexible seating allows these fifth grade students the opportunity to configure their work space to suit their task and learning style. Our newly modernized classrooms are amazing!

A happy staff celebrates LC's Gold Ribbon award.
