Weekly update for May 2, 2024
Dear CES friends and families:
It truly has been a special week at Columbia Elementary School. On behalf of the faculty and staff at CES, I would like to send a most warm and sincere message of appreciation to the PTA and all the parents who celebrated Staff Appreciation Week at Columbia. The gifts were extraordinary, the food and snacks were delicious, and we definitely vibed with the Taylor Swift theme. We have truly felt the love and support from the parents of this wonderful school!
Earlier this week we enjoyed listening to the beautiful music performed by the Columbia Band and Orchestra students. They had a wonderful performance during the day for students and a second show in the evening for families and friends. Congratulations to Mr. Nakamura and Ms. Volcansek on an amazing performance and a wonderful job with our CES musicians!
As a reminder, there is no school for students tomorrow, as it is a teacher workday on Friday, May 3rd.
When students return next week, please remember that we will begin SOL testing on Tuesday morning. Although only students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will be participating, it's a total team effort from every adult and student in the building to ensure the best possible testing environment. We appreciate your support at home in reminding all students about the Columbia Cougar School-wide Expectations:
- Kind
- Safe
- Hardworking
- Respectful
We wish all of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students the best of luck for SOL testing as we know they are going to do an amazing job!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Take care,
Mike Astudillo
Proud Principal
