Columbus City Schools want every child to learn and be successful. School attendance is linked to learning. However, there are times when your child may be ill and should stay at home until he/she feels better or is no longer contagious to others. Below are some guidelines to help you determine when your child should stay home.

• Temperature above 100° by mouth
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Shortness of breath or wheezing during normal activity
• Cough that interrupts normal activity
• Pain from earache, sore throat, or recent injury
• Yellow or green drainage from eye(s)
• Rash or draining sores

Just a reminder that the Bus Lane at the school needs to be kept clear for school buses. Please use the FIRST entrance to the school for drop off and pick-up. You may park in the parking lot and walk your student to the door, or pull up to the curb and drop your student off. Please DO NOT park at the curb. The yellow in the map below is the bus lane and the blue is the car lane.

To keep everyone safe at Burroughs, we are asking that ALL students please head straight home after dismissal. The school playground and basketball court will be closed from 3:15-3:45. Thank you!

Per School Policy:

• If there is a serious danger or threat during dismissal, students and staff (only) will be reverse evacuated into the building until the dangerous situation has been cleared.
• If there is a reverse evacuation during dismissal, it is highly recommended that parents seek safety in their car and/ or leave the premises until the danger is cleared.

If you need to sign-out a student during the school day, please be aware of the following procedures that keep your student safe at school:

IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED WHEN SIGNING OUT A STUDENT.

Any students being picked up early must be signed out by a relative / adult that is listed in Infinite Campus. Parent's can list adults allowed to pick-up their student in the Parent Portal. If an unlisted adult needs to pick up a student, the listed Guardian MUST call the school office at 614-365-5923.

Starting April 7, 2023, Ohioans who are 17 years and older can receive an ID card at no cost. https://publicsafety.ohio.gov/static/free-ID-palm-card.pdf

STUDENTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED BETWEEN 3:00 - 3:15 PM.

If your student has a doctor’s appointment after 3:00 or you just want to pick them up early, please sign them out BEFORE 3:00pm. This will prevent the interruption of the teaching process. Students are dismissed at 3:15. We appreciate your concern for your students continued and uninterrupted education. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
