Dear Columbia Families,

As we arrive at the close of another calendar year, I find myself reflecting on just how much our students and staff have accomplished this fall. From joyful classroom moments to steady academic growth, our school has been filled with curiosity, effort, and community. I hope you’ve seen this reflected in your child’s recent progress reports and in the conversations you shared during parent-teacher conferences.

 

The upcoming winter break offers all of us—students, families, and staff alike—a welcome opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. I want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued partnership in your child’s education. Your encouragement, your presence, and your support of our school make a significant difference in the daily life of our learners.

 

As many of our families celebrate traditions such as Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or other meaningful holidays during this season, I wish you moments of joy, connection, and peace. No matter how you spend these weeks, may they bring warmth to your home and renewal for the year ahead.

 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in January, ready for a new year filled with growth and possibility.

 

Warmest wishes,

Bruce Denton

Curious About School Delays or Cancelations? School may be delayed or canceled because of weather conditions or other events. Bus routes may also be affected by unsafe travel conditions. The district communicates school closures and delays in a variety of ways including phone calls, emails and text messages to families. That means it is important to keep contact information up to date with your child’s school. Additionally, we post information on our district website, social media spaces and to local TV and radio stations. Learn more about staying informed during weather events by clicking THIS LINK.
