CO Week at a Glance 10/4/24

Over 400 fifth graders from across our district have signed up this year, the highest participation we have ever had!

More than 200 of the students will use an instrument provided by the district. However, due to the record numbers this year, the program is completely out of full-size violins and percussion sets. If you know of anyone who has a new or gently used violin or percussion set they are willing to donate, please ask them to email Judy Heminger at hemingerjl@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

The band and orchestra programs are always accepting donations of new or gently used instruments, so please help us spread the word to your friends and family!  

Our 2024 Columbia Elementary PTA Read-A-Thon has begun!

​

Did you know that just TWO absent days a month can make it harder for your student to stay on track? We care about your student's attendance! If you need support, please call us at (425) 366-2600. If your student is absent, please contact our 24 Hour attendance line at (425) 366-2605. Please include: Student First and Last Name, Date of absence, and Reason for absence. We will only return your call if we have questions.

If your child will be leaving early, families/guardians need to send a note, email the teacher or call the office on the main line at 425-366-2600. (Avoid calling between 8:45-9:15 AM) Please do not leave a message on the attendance line. Please avoid picking up during their lunch, recess or time with specialists, as it may take extra time to retrieve your student. Only an authorized person may take a child from school. Any student being dismissed prior to the regular dismissal time must be met in the office and must be signed out by the parent/guardian or authorized person picking them up.

Any absence not specifically covered, such as family vacations or other extended absence, must have a Principal approved pre-arranged absence form in order to be excused. This form must be submitted to the school office one week prior to the scheduled absence. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at (425) 366-2600.
