Legacy of Excellence Garden
Columbian’s brick garden, located on the south side of our main entrance,
is home to engraved bricks that honor past and present Columbian students, teachers,
families, and other loved ones. We are asking Columbian families if you would like to
purchase a brick to commemorate your student’s time at Columbian.
Your brick will be stored in a safe place until the fall of 2019 when all of the bricks
– both old and new –will be combined to create our new Legacy of Excellence Garden.
If you would like to purchase a brick, please click here to complete the form. *************************************************************************

Columbian is Getting a New School Building!
The Columbian Elementary School scope of work from our latest Bond includes a complete replacement of the
existing school. Site prep will begin in November. You will notice a construction fence on our playground and dirt trucks delivering dirt.
The actual construction of the building will begin in March of 2018.
The current building will be replaced with a new school on our existing site by July of 2019.
The Ed Spec process has begun with Schemmer Associates, our architect, and Jacobs leading the way!

CAFETERIA CHECK IN
The cafeteria now has computerized lunch account check
in system. Please remember Columbian families are able to utilize the online payment system, known as
SchoolCafe, to view their student's purchase history and receive low balance alerts! The system has been
available to prepay online and setup automatic payments, but now we have added additional features. If you have any
questions about the system, please contact the Nutrition Services Office, 531-299-0230. https://www.schoolcafe.com
ANTI-BULLYING
In effort to curb bullying at Columbian Elementary there is a form that you may use when you see a bullying act.
School community members should report all incidents of bullying (verbally, in writing
and/or electronically), whether they personally observe incidents or are made aware of
them by some other means. Reporting by school community members should occur even if
the victim does not file a formal complaint, and even if the victim does not express any overt disapproval of the bullying behavior.
