Dear Columbia Families,

At Columbia Elementary we carefully assign students to classes considering academic, behavior and social needs. This is a collaborative team process working toward balanced classrooms that are best for our students. In addition, each team makes it a priority to place your child with a teacher who best fits your child’s learning style and needs. Parents may have additional insights that help us ensure a productive year. If you would like to provide input to this process, an online parental input form is available. Please know that we cannot accommodate requests for specific teachers. Completing the form is optional. Submissions are due by Friday, May 1st.

Keep in mind, your child’s teacher will receive this input and present it to the placement team. Please click the link below and use this form only. Please avoid letters, calls or emails for placement purposes. If you need help with the form please email Taressa in our front office:

Here is the link to the form: https://forms.gle/LdfT5Y8X8LAWofty9

Spring Break is right around the corner, whether you will be on vacation or enjoying time at home we hope that you and your family are able to relax and enjoy the break from school.

Yours,
Bruce Denton
