Dear CES friends and families,

 

It has been a great first week back to school after winter break. Next week, we will have our monthly PTA meeting on Tuesday night. Also on Tuesday night, over 20 of our students will participate in the Annandale Pyramid Honors Choir Concert at AHS. Congratulations to Mrs. Eggleton and all students representing us for their hard work, dedication, and musicianship.

Finally, yearbook picture re-takes will be held on Thursday morning in the GYM. If your student is new to Columbia ES, or you missed the first round of pictures back in November, please let your child's teacher know so that they can have their picture taken next Thursday.

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

 

Take care,

 

Mike Astudillo

Proud Principal

Columbia Elementary School

 


 

Friendly reminders from the main office

The safety and security of our students, staff, and facility is vitally important. As a reminder, when any visitor/parent/adult enters the building, they must enter the main office and bring a form of identification (e.g. Driver's License) to check in. This is an FCPS regulation that must be adhered to for access to the building. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe at school!

 

If your student will be missing school for an extended period of time, please make sure to submit the FCPS extended absence form to the main office for administrative review prior to the absences. The form can be found on the CES website.

 


 

FCPS CARES

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for families, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees at Columbia ES. We love our staff members; let's tell them how we feel!
