Parents and Caregivers: Thank you for your response to our first survey. Due to your responses we can make necessary adjustments to our Grab & Go program. We had an overwhelming majority of parents wanting meal bundles for 3 days reducing pick up to once a week instead of three times a week. We also put the grab and go menu option on Park and Taylor’s October menu and implemented more variety. We would like your opinion on one more item; timing of meal bundle pick up. If you have any other suggestion or concerns please email me at amelendez@columbiabsd.org.

Families in Grades K-2:
We apologize for the confusion with Seesaw this morning. Yesterday, our programs were synced with one another to ensure all students had access and were able to easily connect remotely. Unfortunately, this caused an unforeseen reconfiguration within Seesaw. We are working to address this. Students who were not able to access classroom Zooms and/or materials will not be marked absent.
Tomorrow, join in for the Webinar - Ready to Partner: 5 Steps for a different kind of school year for families and schools. Every parent is a learning hero. You’ve got what it takes — you know your child best. But even superheroes need a team. When parents and teachers join forces, students succeed. This year it will be more important than ever. In this interactive session, we’ll share easy-to-use resources and five steps that will help keep your child on track, no matter where learning takes place, and how you, as the parent/caregiver, can effectively partner with your child’s teacher.
