Please join us on Thursday, August 31 @ 4PM for Colton Elementary's Ice Cream Social and Supply Drop Off. Class lists will be posted on the main entry doors. We will have the Molalla Book Mobile here, a PTA photo booth, Colton Booster apparel, information on Robotics and OBOB, meet and greet classroom teachers, and of course ice cream! There will be opportunities for students to earn raffle tickets for prizes from each station they visit, including their classroom. You are welcome to drop your child's school supplies in their classroom during your visit. See you soon!

Kindergaren and 1st grade will have a staggered start the first week of school. What this means is that you will receive an electronic form via your email to choose either 9/5, 9/6 or 9/7 to be your child's first day of school. All of the students will come to school on Friday, 9/8. The following week will start the regular 4 day week. A kindergarten/1st grade letter was also sent by mail on 8/23/23 explaining this and a few other important items.
