Important Notes...

Earlier this summer all children with life threatening conditions and/or children who require medication at school received a letter from the school nurse. State law requires guardians to meet with the school nurse to review these forms PRIOR to the student being allowed to attend school.

All parents are required to update their students information through the online Family Access link, which will open on August 17, 2018. Class schedules will be released after completion of the online registration

Elementary class rosters will be posted on the front door of the Elementary school August 16th.

The Elementary, Middle, and High school offices will open on August 15th. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

All students must have complete immunizations in order to start school. This includes the chicken pox vaccine. Parents must either provide verification from the doctor the child has chicken pox with the date of illness, a blood test showing serologic proof of immunity to varicella, or a signed Certificate of Exemption form for a medical, religious or personal/philosophical reason for not receiving the vaccination.

Student athletes must have an athletic physical completed before they are allowed to participate in any school sports.

Free & Reduced lunch forms and student insurance forms will be mailed out soon. You can also access the Free & Reduced Lunch forms through the online student registration process, as well as on the district website.

All students who transfer into the Columbia School District must have an approved transfer form on record before their class schedule will be released.

School supply lists are available at the administration office or can be found online at www.csd400.org.

During the 2018-2019 school year we will continue the Monday morning one-hour late start schedule for teacher collaboration. School will be dismissed at regular time.
