Coronavirus Response & Information 

Dear Columbus Families,
Happy Summer! I know that this summer will be like no other we have experienced. I hope everyone stays home, stays safe, and stays healthy.

Bagged breakfasts and lunches remain available for all students. Each student is provided three days worth of meals. Just a school near you between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. daily. Chopin School is the closest location to Columbus. You can find a list of schools serving meals here. 

CPS has not released any definitive plans for school in the fall. As soon a plan is released, I will be sure to communicate it to all our families via the website and social media. 

If you've accepted a seat at Columbus School for the fall, please note that you will be contacted by Ms. Maribel via email to let you know when and how your child will be enrolled and registered. 

Summer hours will be sporadic. Starting July 21st, I will be at school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until noon. Please call or email before coming over to ensure I am available, waoleksy@cps.edu. 

Finally, if you have not returned the school provided Chromebook, please come by during the hours listed above to drop it off. You may also come up and pick up your child's belongings.

I wanted to provide you with some reliable resources to go to around COVID-19.
