It has been a week full of Wildcat Pride and Spirit at Columbus. Throughout the week students and staff showed their spirit with a variety of different themed days. Reading, writing, and math are in full swing. Our fourth graders started a band this week as well. In the coming weeks, we will be completing our fall benchmark assessments in literacy and math. This information will help guide instruction. As part of our routine safety drills, we will be having a fire drill next week. Please make sure you scroll to the bottom of the newsletter each week for important announcements and pictures in the Around Columbus section.

Cell Phones and Wearable Smart Devices

Please be advised Columbus students should not have personal communication devices with them during the school day. If they choose to bring a device to school, it should remain in their backpack. They are responsible for the device. If a child is wearing a GPS tracking device for safety purposes, we ask that it be placed on the teacher's desk during instructional time. They will be allowed to wear it during lunch and recess.

Such devices include, but are not limited to:

• Cell phones

• Wearable devices/smart wearables/tablets that are capable of recording/viewing audio, photographic, or video content

• Wearable devices/smartwatches/tablets that are capable of sending/receiving text, audio, or video messages
