iReady, get set, go...

Ohio Avenue Elementary has a goal for 100% of our families to schedule a time to meet with their student's teacher and Principal Williams to go over ways to help your student meet their educational goals. This will be a time to see what your student is currently working on and discuss areas of opportunity.

Ms. Brown will be contacting you in the coming weeks with additional information and ways to schedule this meeting. Should you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact Ms. Brown at (614) 285-4696.

Pathways Express is coming your way!

Columbus is the largest city in Ohio, and it’s the capital of our state. Many of the conversations and decisions that could ultimately impact students today, and in the future, are made at 1 Capitol Square - The Ohio Statehouse.

Since its opening to legislators and the public in 1857, the Statehouse has witnessed Ohio’s most historic voting decisions. In addition to state leaders, more than 500,000 visitors tour Capitol Square each year. Throughout the month of February, CCS students and families are invited to add their names to the growing guestbook.

In addition to weekend tours, CCS families are also encouraged to join us for our Family & Community Resource Day on Saturday, February 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
