Coe PTA is committed to creating a school community that is equitable, proactively practices and promotes anti-racism, and embraces the value of diversity.
Coe Elementary school staff and leadership are committed to and have been acting on this shared goal. The community is constantly changing, however, and we are all part of a life-long journey to be better and do better for our kids.
The Diversity, Racial Equity, and Inclusion (DREI) Committee was established in 2020 to facilitate a partnership between the PTA and Coe staff around this commitment, to develop clear, shared goals, to inform priorities, and to develop and support implementation of strategies that help achieve those goals.
We welcome your participation and thoughtful contribution to this conversation and life-long journey. We must all continue to learn and improve together.

Hello and Welcome Coe Families! We hope you are doing what you can into the “back-to-school” routine, whether your Coe Cougar is attending school in person or doing their learning virtually.
The Integrated Curriculum Department and the Department of Racial Equity Advancement invite you to join the 2nd Annual four-day institute focused on anti-racism, from August 9 – August 12, 2021 (9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day).
Sunday, June 13, 2021 — Over 270 awesome Coe Cougars, families, teachers and staff jogged/walked/ran the “Hurray to Murray” 5k around Queen Anne’s crown throughout five waves. They were joined by retiring Principal Turner and incoming Principal Backstrom, all in the spirit of fun and to honor Mr. Murray retirement after 25 years at Coe!
Way to go Coe Cougars, parents and teachers – you made our first ever Read-a-thon a huge success! Collectively, students logged over 2,630 hours of reading over two weeks — WOW! Plus over 50 books were donated to our Book Drive and will be delivered to Friends of Roxhill Elementary and Seattle Housing Authority this week.
