Schools Transitioning to Remote Learning
Good Evening Columbus City Schools Families, Teachers, and Staff,
Please listen carefully to this evening’s update for Friday, January 28, 2022.
Due to an increased number of staff absences, Northtowne Elementary School will transition to remote learning for Friday, January 28. The school will NOT hold in-person classes.
Classes are canceled for the following schools due to heating issues in the buildings:
- Siebert Elementary School
- West Broad Elementary School
- Columbus City Preparatory School for Boys and the BlendED Pre-K through 8 program due to teachers and staff who typically work on-site at the Boys School.
All other Columbus City Schools will be in-person learning for Friday, January 28, 2022.

Thank you.
Principal Introduction
Greetings Panther Family!
It is such a privilege to serve the Johnson Park community! I am the proud new principal at Johnson Park Middle School. This is my 22nd year with Columbus City Schools and I actual began my teaching career here at Johnson Park. We have great instructional and social goals for our students. You will most certainly get more information about our learning standards and goals as well as our PBIS behavior model. Each day our students are in dress code and ready to learn and earn. Please find more information on our school website and listen weekly for updates. Johnson Park… Pride on the Eastside!

Assistant Principal Introduction

Nurses Corner
If your student is feeling ill or experiencing Covid-like symptoms, please:
- Keep them home until they are symptom free for 24 hours
- Get tested if symptoms last more than 48 hours
If a student is sent home for Covid-like symptoms:
A parent or guardian will be called to pick them up, and that student may not return until symptoms are improving and fever free for 24 hours.
Free Covid Tests Delivered To Your Home
The Postal Service is delivering one shipment of 4 COVID tests per residential address.
Enter your name, address and email at
to request a shipment.
New COVID-19 Quarantine Guidelines
Updated COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine Guidance
Columbus City Schools has adopted the newest guidance from the CDC regarding COVID-19 isolation and quarantine procedures, following the recommendation of Columbus Public Health. Learn more about the updated CDC guidance here.
- If You Test Positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, everyone should isolate for 5 days.
- If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you can leave your home and return to school/work as long as you continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days.
- Previously, the CDC recommended an isolation period of 10 days.
- If You Were Exposed to Someone with COVID-19, your vaccination status (including whether you have received a booster shot) will determine the need to quarantine and test. Click here for additional details from the CDC.
For any in-school exposures, we are continuing to follow the current Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Mask to Stay/Test to Play guidelines. Students who have an in-school exposure and are asymptomatic can continue to remain in class while wearing a mask and closely monitoring for symptoms.
COVID Tests
If you are having symptoms of COVID-19, you are strongly encouraged to take a COVID test. While the at-home test kits are in short supply in our area, there are providers who are administering PCR tests. Check the Ohio Department of Health website to find a PCR test provider.
CCS has a very limited supply of at-home COVID test kits remaining. We expect to receive a new shipment of the kits next week and will provide more information on the availability of the kits at that time.
CCS COVID Reporting Hotline
If you are a CCS employee or a parent of a student that has tested positive or has had a confirmed community exposure, here’s how to report an exposure or positive case to CCS:
- Call the CCS COVID-19 Reporting Hotline at 614-365-5544 and leave a message with the requested information; OR
- Email your positive COVID-19 test results to the District Administrative Contact Tracers at AdminContactTracing@columbus.k12.oh.us.
- A CCS Contact Tracer will return your call or email to provide further guidance.
- A positive test result should always be reported to your healthcare provider as well.
Vaccines
Our best defense against COVID-19 is the safe and effective vaccines that are widely available. I encourage everyone in our CCS community to get vaccinated. And if you are already vaccinated, be sure to take the time to get your booster shot!
For a list of locations providing the COVID-19 vaccine to ages 5 years and older, visit NationwideChildrens.org/Vaccine or gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov.
As a reminder, next week we will hold the second round of our dedicated COVID-19 vaccination clinics for eligible students ages 5-11 who received their first dose in December. The clinics will be held at CCS elementary and middle schools during regular school hours.
Mask Up
We continue to require all students, staff, and visitors to wear a mask indoors at all CCS buildings. For the greatest effectiveness against the airborne virus, it is important to always wear a mask properly so that it covers your mouth and nose.
Preparing for a Shift to Remote Learning
From seeing other school districts locally and across the state shift to remote learning due to staffing shortages, we know that it is a possibility for CCS. If we see a shortage of teachers or substitutes to cover classes or a shortage of bus drivers to safely transport students, we would make the temporary shift to remote learning for the affected schools.
While we would make every effort to notify staff and families ahead of time as soon as possible, these shifts can happen abruptly. I encourage all students, teachers, and staff to take their devices and technology home with them every night. Or, I encourage you to have a plan for how you would adjust to remote learning.
We hope that it does not come to this for any of our schools, but we are planning just in case.
Staff Absence Reporting
Our preparations depend on having a clear understanding of our staffing levels on school days. If you are a staff member who is feeling ill, I encourage you to notify your supervisor or submit your absence request as soon as possible. The earlier we know about absences, the better we can prepare and serve our students.
I look forward to starting the New Year strong and seeing our students and staff back in the classroom on Monday, January 3, 2022.
Sincerely,
Talisa Dixon
Superintendent/CEO, Columbus City Schools

Covid-19 Testing Information
Columbus City Schools to Provide Free At-Home COVID-19 Rapid Tests for Students, Staff
Columbus City Schools has partnered with Columbus Public Health (CPH) to offer a limited number of voluntary, at-home BinaxNow COVID-19 rapid test kits for any student or staff member in a school or transportation center who is symptomatic or a close contact of a positive case.
The free, convenient testing option will be available to students and staff beginning next week.
“Even before students returned to classrooms five days a week, we worked closely with Columbus Public Health to be proactive and vigilant to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Superintendent Dr. Talisa Dixon. “We recently announced vaccine clinics for students and staff, and these rapid test kits present the District with an additional layer of protection to detect infections early and get ahead of potential outbreaks, including asymptomatic spread, keep schools open, and protect our entire community.”
Families of any student receiving an at-home rapid test will also be notified by their school, per district contact tracing protocols. Families can notify their school of their positive or negative status by submitting:
- Printed copy of BinaxNow test results;
- Emailing digital copy of BinaxNow test results to the school (principal/nurse/teacher); or
- Emailing detailed, verifiable screenshot of BinaxNow test results.
About BinaxNOW At-Home Rapid Test Kits
The BinaxNOW Test is a 15-minute rapid antigen test used to detect an active COVID-19 infection. The test was developed by Abbott Laboratories and approved for use by the U.S Federal Drug Administration (FDA). The self-tests are provided for easy at-home use with a computer, tablet, or smartphone with video capabilities. Proctored (English & Spanish) eMED telehealth sessions are available to oversee test administration and provide electronic copies of results.
BinaxNOW Self-Test Walkthrough Video
This BinaxNOW Test is recommended for individuals who are identified as a close contact:
- Individuals directly exposed to COVID-19 at school; or
- Individuals identified as a close contact due to a household member being exposed to COVID-19; or
- Symptomatic individuals showing signs of illness consistent with COVID-19.
Students and staff who test negative and are showing no symptoms will be able to return to school/work or stay in school/work, avoiding quarantine.
The BinaxNOW Test kits may have a past expiration date, but the FDA has extended the dates for tests issued by the Ohio Department of Health: www.coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/binax-now/binaxnow-home-tests.pdf

NEW: 24/7 Online Tutoring Platform Available for Middle, High School Students
Dear Columbus City Schools Families,
During the recent Summer Experience, the District introduced Paper, a new 24/7 online tutoring platform for secondary students. This school year, students in grades six through 12 will benefit from additional access to high-quality, 1:1 tutoring. The partnership is part of the District’s efforts to accelerate learning, bridge academic gaps, and address learning loss in an equitable way.
Paper is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited academic support. Whether they’re stuck on homework, studying for a test, or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, tutors are available online to assist students in over 200 subjects in multiple languages. Paper trains tutors to conduct expert academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, they’ll never give students answers but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward.
Paper is a free service available through the District, and students are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need it. Teachers also have accounts and will be able to review all student activity to see what they’re working on and provide more targeted instruction as needed.
Paper is now available for students in Clever. Parents can learn more about the platform and how it benefits students by participating in a Parent Info Session hosted by Paper.

Words of Rental Wisdom *Know Your Rights as a Tenant*
- Always Read Your Lease to its Entirety! Especially the "Tenants Rights" section.
- If you are having issues with your private landlord or rental office completing home repairs and/or complying with safety guidelines (electrical, flooding, pluming etc.), you have the right to put your rent in Escrow.
- You CAN NOT be evicted for putting your rent in Escrow.
- *Note that rent does still have to be paid on time and in full to Escrow.
- Also make sure to file a complaint with the City of Columbus Code Enforcement Office.
- Code Enforcement will come out to inspect the neglected reported repairs needed and contact your landlord or rental office with a list needed repairs and a deadline to have them completed.
- Escrow will hold your rent until said landlord or rental office completes the needed repairs and will not release the rent until you sign for it to be released.
- From my own personal experience and lessons learned in my early and mid 20's, NEVER release your rent until all repairs have been completed.
Links for contact information and website for both Escrow and Code Enforcement have been provided below.
