Happy April, Rainiers!
Dear Columbia Crest Families,
I hope you feel rejuvenated and were able to reconnect with family and friends during Spring Break. As we gear up for the last quarter of the school year I would like to share a few reminders.
Driving safely in the parking lot is extremely important. As you enter the school you will notice a new speed limit sign posted on our gate. We ask that as you enter, please travel 5 miles per hour when students are present. Parents need to come to the entry of the building to pick up their child. To ensure safety, students may not walk out to the parking lot unaccompanied. All parents, students and staff are to use the crosswalk during loading or unloading times so they are visible.
Bus drivers have a thankless job that is often very tough. Let’s do our part to make their drive a little smoother by following these tips:
Have your child(ren) at their bus stop 5 minutes early. Please know that the bus may arrive 5 minutes before or after the scheduled pick up time.
If you happen to miss the bus, you may call transportation at 360-879-1900 to ask where you can meet the bus at the next scheduled pick up location.
Please ensure your child leaves the house with a coat each morning. This time of year multiple students come to the office to ask for a coat before going out to first recess. It is still rather chilly in the morning and students need to prepare for being outside rain or shine.
Students who attend Columbia Crest are very busy people. We would like to hear from you about activities in which your children participate or honors they have earned that occur after school. Please email their participation information and a picture to Mrs. Shew and we will recognize them at our next assembly. Thank you to the families who participated last month.
Please note the various activities this month advertised in our newsletter. There are a number of opportunities for you and your family to enjoy an event on campus for little or no cost. We hope to see you here for at least one event this month.
Respectfully,
Principal Shew

Counselor's Corner
Hi! I hope that you are enjoying the fact that spring seems to have arrived! My name is Deb Noble-Perry. I retired from the Bethel School District in 2015. I have worked in a variety of roles during my 34 years as a teacher and counselor in Bethel. I am at CC 2 days per week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. I work with students, parents and teachers in a variety of areas/needs. If you have a question, or if you feel you could use my services, please feel free to contact me through the school. I return emails and phone calls as promptly as I am able. Looking forward to being at your service!
As always you are welcome to stop by our office or give us a call if you wish to discuss your child's needs.
You may reach Ms. Noble-Perry at D.nobleperry@eatonvilleschools.org
