A note from Mrs. Bolden...
Astro Families,
Happy Mother's Day to all of our beautiful Astro Mothers. I hope you have enjoyed this day with your family. I cherished having all four of my children home this weekend!
We are approaching our final full week of school. Please carefully review all emails from teachers concerning parties and celebrations. We are looking forward to seeing our students have some fun after all of their hard work!
I want to share a resource with you that our district has created with summer learning ideas and activities. Research shows, just a few minutes dedicated to learning each day can eliminate or lessen the summer academic slide. You will find the link below. I recommend saving the link for easy access over the summer break!
I have added dates for the remainder of the year to assist in planning. Specific details for events will be coming from your teachers.
Please see the updates and reminders below, and reach out to me if you have any questions:
5/13 - 5th Grade Wax Museum
5/15 - Kindergarten Program - (details to come from teachers)
5/16 - 5th Grade Ceremony and Social (details to come from teachers)
5/17 - Senior Stroll

5/20 - E-learning Day for Students
5/21 - 1/2 Day for Students (11:30 dismissal)

Reminders
- We are excited to welcome parents to join their child for lunch. Due to limited space, we need to limit it to one guest. We have tables on the stage for you to enjoy this time with your child.
- If you plan on joining your child on a field trip, you will be asked to complete a background check. Please see the link below to access the link on the district website. This must be completed annually.
- Check-outs: If you need to check out your child, please do so before 2:15 (M-Th), and 1:55 (F). As our front office staff prepare for dismissal daily, this will ensure a smooth, timely experience for all.
- Please refrain from dropping off personal items after 7:40 to limit disruptions of instruction. While we will try to accommodate the delivery of glasses, chromebooks and jackets, we cannot support the delivery of snacks, water bottles and lunches.
- Our morning carline opens at 7:10 and closes promptly at 7:38. If you arrive after this time, please park in the front and walk your child in the front office. We appreciate your cooperation with this procedure, as it allows students and teachers to arrive to class on time.
- If your child is absent, please send excuse notes to Mrs. Dana at cesattendance@madisoncity.k12.al.us
- If you need to change your child's transportation, please email cestransportation@madisoncity.k12.al.us
- Remember to follow our Facebook Pages: Columbia Elementary School and Columbia Elementary School PTA, and Columbia Elementary Bus Information.
