Dear Columbus Families,
We’re excited to welcome students back in just a few short weeks on  August 22, 2022!

This past year has been a reminder of how important classroom learning is. Nothing can replace direct interaction with teachers, staff, and classmates,  and we can’t wait to welcome you back to our learning community.

Students will be back in school uniforms. Please see the flyer under "Parents Resources" for the criteria.

We are also asking that you purchase supplies this year. Classroom supply lists can be found under "Parents Resources," as well. Hover your cursor over Parents Resources, then click on "Supply Lists."

School hours will be 7:45 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. 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
