Welcome to Columbus Elementary School!
These past years have been a reminder of how important classroom learning is. Nothing can replace direct interaction with teachers, staff, and classmates, and we are excited to be fully back in person for the second year in a row. Students must wear school uniforms Monday through Thursday. Each Friday is a $1.00 Jeans Day. This donation offsets the cost of field trips. PE uniforms should only be worn on gym days. Please see the flyer under "Parents Resources" for the criteria. School hours are 7:45 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please do not drop your child off before 7:30 a.m. No early dismissals after 2:15 p.m. unless you show proof of an appointment. Please call or email if you have any concerns. Most of the time, we can assist you over the phone. Please check this website and our social media for updated information. Thank you for your support. Ms. Oleksy |
As the school year progresses there will be various opportunities for our families to get involved. Check out our school website (home page and calendar), social media, and your email listed on Aspen for important updates and reminders!Our students lead each morning by reading the announcements.
