“SAP (Student Assistance Program) is a systemic process using techniques to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning.”
Here at Columbia, our SAP team works with a variety of resources both inside and outside the school to provide support for our students and remove barriers to their learning. If you know of a student who is struggling in the areas of academics, attendance, behavior, or health, please contact the school and we can set our SAP process in motion to assist the student.
Once a student is referred for SAP by a teacher, friend, or parent, our SAP team works to determine what supports the student needs to be successful in school. Our goal for every student is for them to experience a comfortable and successful journey through school, and our SAP team is just one tool in our box to help students with this! If you have any questions or would like to refer a student, please contact the school at 717-684-7500.

This is a friendly reminder that K-6 students are selling Andy's sub vouchers for the PTP fundraiser for field trips. Vouchers are $6 and do not expire. They are good for both locations. Orders are due on Friday, October 11.

Good Morning:
The first evening presentation of Rachel’s Challenge and our student assemblies were FANTASTIC!
An opportunity to learn about a “Chain Reaction of Kindness” that students and adults can start here in Columbia. Community members attending last evening felt very positive about this program and want to be part of the “Columbia Chain”.
If you have the opportunity, tonight is the final presentation at the high school at 6:30PM (students must be 7th grade or older due to content.)
Thank you!

Reminder TONIGHT at 6:30: Rachel's Challenge community presentation at Columbia High School Auditorium, Tuesday (9/10) Students attending must be in 7th grade or above due to the content of the program.

The High School Open House will be on Wednesday, September, 4th from 6:30PM-8:00PM
We will be trying something new this year and allow parents to visit each teacher at their leisure throughout the night.
This will give parents the freedom to see the teachers they need/want to see without following astrict schedule.
Counselors and administration will also be available in the main office throughout the evening.
We appreciate any feedback you have to us trying this new format.
We hope to see you here WEDNESDAY evening!
