Principal’sMessageColumbia Community,I would like to thank our 8th grade families for the outstanding turnout during the high school transition night on January 14th. We had pre-senters from Rangeview, Gateway, Pickens Tech, William Smith, APS Online, Community College Concurrent Enrollment, special programs, and so much more. I would also like to thank our staff and specifically Ms. Ganaway, 8th grade counselor. Bringing all of these resources together in one location is a huge benefit to our families and we hope that you found the night beneficial as you prepare your children for high school.

We celebrated our second quarter Cougar lunches with over 320 students across the grade levels being recognized for having 3s and 4s for work habits in all six of their classes. The following week we celebrated our Honor’s Breakfast for students who not only had 3s and 4s on work habits, but also had Advanced and/or Proficient grades for all six of their classes both first and second quarter. Again, a great celebration of student accomplishments!

On Thursday, January 21, we had to evacuate the building during a potential gas leak. Kids and staff noticed a “smell” that we were unsure about and decided to evacuate. I cannot express enough the outstanding job your children and our staff did during this evacuation. I also want to thank our first responders from the Aurora Fire Department, our paramedic team, district facilities department, and Xcel Energy. We cleared the building, tended to those that were not feeling well and communicated with you regarding the day’s events. Thank you for working with us during this important time to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Throughout the school year this year we have been working hard to increase participation of parents in our decision making processes here at the school. We have solicited feedback from our community through surveys and held specific parent nights in November and January separate from parent conferences. We are creating a contact sheet for those who responded to the January survey indicating interest in volunteering or serving on PTSO. We thank you for your interest in being a part of creating the best possible experience for our community of learners. We need you to be part of this work. If you missed the survey, or are interested in helping out, feel free to contact us at 303-690-6570 and indicate the weekdays and times that you could come in and support our school.

Finally, as we move into the month ahead, please know that we are preparing for high school registration, coordinating resources and technol-ogy for the upcoming state assessment in March and looking forward to our final round of formal parent conferences on February 25th from 4:30 – 8:00 PM. We will be waiting on registration for next year at the middle school level until after Spring break. We do not receive our funding information for next year until mid-February and will begin our program planning at that time.

Steve Hamilton, Principal

SI USTED NECESITA INFORMACIÓN SOBRE CUALQUIER ARTÍCULO EN ESTE BOLETÍN, POR FAVOR COMUNÍQUESE CON MITZI TORRES AL NÚMERO 303-690-6570

MensajedelDirectorComunidad de Columbia,Me gustaría agradecer a nuestras familias del 8vo grado por su presencia durante la noche de transición a la preparatoria para sus hijos la noche del 14 de enero. Tuvimos presentaciones de Rangeview, Gateway, Pickens Tech, William Smith, de la escuela por internet de APS y del colegio comunitario de Aurora, el cual compartió información sobre la matriculación concurrente, sobre otros programas especiales, y mucho más. También me gustaría agradecer a nuestro personal docente, específicamente a la Sra. Ganaway, la consejera de los alumnos en 8vo grado. El traer a todos esos recursos a un solo lugar es un gran beneficio para nuestras familias y esperamos que usted encontró de utilidad asistir esa noche para empezar a preparar a sus hijos para la preparatoria.

Nosotros tuvimos la celebración “Cougar Lunches” del segundo trimestre donde más de 320 estudiantes en todos los niveles de grado fueron celebrados durante el receso de comida por tener calificaciones de solamente 3 y 4 en todas sus seis clases. La siguiente semana celebramos también a los estudiantes que además de los buenos hábitos de trabajo, recibieron también las mejores calificaciones posibles en sus seis clases en ambos el primer y el segundo trimestre del año. Como lo mencione, esa fue una ¡gran celebración de los logros de los estudiantes!

El jueves, 21 de enero, tuvimos que evacuar el edificio por motivo de una posible fuga de gas. Los niños y el personal docente notaron un “olor”, el cual no estábamos seguros donde se originaba, así que decidimos evacuar. No podemos suficientemente expresar el gran trabajo que sus hijos y nuestros empleados hicieron durante esa evacuación. Yo quiero agradecer también al personal de emergencias del departamento de bomberos de Aurora, al equipo de paramédicos, al departamento de apoyo a instalaciones del distrito, y a Xcel Energy. Al confirmar la evacu-ación del edificio, se atendió entonces a esas personas que no se sentían bien, y después les comunicamos a ustedes los eventos sucedidos ese día. Gracias por trabajar con nosotros en ese momento crítico para afirmar la seguridad de los estudiantes y el personal.

Durante este año escolar hemos estado trabajando duro para aumentar participación de los padres en lo que es el proceso de tomar decisiones relacionadas con la escuela. Hemos solicitado la opinión de la comunidad por medio de encuestas y hemos tenido noches específicamente planificadas para los padres de familia, aparte de las noches de conferencias, en noviembre y en enero. Estamos creando una lista de contac-tos para esas personas que respondieron a la encuesta de enero indicando su interés en ser voluntario o en tomar parte del grupo PTSO. Le agradecemos por su interés en ser parte de crear la mejor experiencia posible para nuestro comunidad de estudiantes. Necesitamos que usted sea parte de este trabajo. Si usted no llenó la encuesta, o si está interesado(a) en ayudar, por favor comuníquese con nosotros al 303-690-6570 e indicar el horario cuando usted puede venir a apoyar nuestra escuela.

Finalmente, al planear para el mes entrante, por favor sepa que estamos preparándonos para la registración de la preparatoria, coordinando recursos y tecnología para los exámenes estatales por venir en marzo, y esperando la última noche de conferencias entre padres y maestros que tomará lugar el 25 de febrero de 4:30 de la tarde a 8:00 de la noche. Estaremos iniciando nuestro propio proceso de registración de clases para nuestros estudiantes hasta después del receso de primavera. Esto es porque nosotros no recibimos información sobre el presupuesto que recibiremos el próximo año hasta mediados de febrero, y es entonces que comenzaremos nuestra planificación programas y clases disponibles para el próximo año.

CounselingCornerKnow When It’s Time to ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell)

A SERIOUS SITUATION:When it comes to the mental health of your child, a little information goes a long way. The first step to helping your child is recognizing that there might be a problem. Signs of depression in children can be easily confused with the ordinary struggles of growing up.

RECOGNIZING DEPRESSION…WHAT TO LOOK FOR:SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION:• Depressedmood(canbesad,down,grouchyor

irritable)• Avoidingfamilyorfriends• Adeclineingrades• Strugglingtocompletesimpletasks• Not taking care of physical health or personal

cleanliness• Changeinsleepingpatterns,weight,and/orap-

petite• Feelingsofworthlessnessand/orhopelessness• Constantworryaboutbodyimage• Drugand/oralcoholuseorabuse• Thoughtsofdeath,suicide,orwishestobedead

Moodiness is common in adolescents, but if it last for more than two weeks it might be more than “the blues”.

WHAT TO DO:Your role as a parent is to watch for warning signs and seek help. Don’t try to diagnose the problem yourself. If you’re unsure about your child’s behavior, speak to a professional at the school or call your pediatrician. Left untreated, depression can lead to other serious problems, including drug and alcohol use, relationship problems, academic trouble and even suicide.

The Good NewsDepression is highly treatable. Now that you know the signs and symptom, you are better prepared to ACT when your child needs you: ACKNOWLEDGE, CARE and TELL.

AttendanceUpdatesShowing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success start-ing in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.

Thanks for your attention in making sure your students are here every day, on time and ready to learn.

Emotions:ThedrivingforcebehindbehaviorEmotions are often very misunderstood. Young children, especially Middle School aged children deal with a range of emotions every day. I have had stu-dents come to me directly for help because their frustration level had peaked. When seeing students at this stage, it is critical that as adults and teachers we do the following;

1. Pay attention to the child and make sure they know you are paying atten-tion.

2. Make sure not to overreact or in many cases don’t react at all, simply let them vent. After all, we all need to vent at times as adults, so do children.

3. Use active listening. When a child is venting and it appears he/she needs help, listen to them, repeat back what they are saying, get clarification.

4. Do not give advice, until they actually ask for it. Many times even adults simply need to vent but they are not looking for advice from anyone, they just need an ear. Children are the same way.

Sometimes as adults we are too tempted after hearing a child vent, to offer up advice. Children at this age do not always want to be told what to do or how to do something. They do want to talk about things and they should be allowed to. I have also seen problem solving occur naturally when a child is allowed to just vent. After a while they actually solve the problem themselves but, they do so by having someone to talk to who will listen.

Mr. ConradAffective Needs

FromYourDeansDear Columbia Families,Mrs. Boyd and Mr. Osborn continue to work hard to ensure the safety and security of all students. We wish to discuss two topics this month. They are: Athletic Eligibility and Student Conduct in classes and at school.

Athletic Eligibility:Mrs. Boyd and Mr. Osborn will make the final determination for team sports eligibility each week. As you know, our current eligibility re-quirements to participate in games from page 23 of the Columbia Middle School Parent and Student Handbook for 2015-2016 states that: “A student is ineligible if he/she received two or more weekly work habit scores of 0,1, or 2 or if he/she has been suspended from games/practice due to behavior.”

If your student has to be removed from a classroom due to poor behavior during this semester, he/she will not be eligible to play or practice that week and or the following week.

Current season in play: Boys basketball

Upcoming seasons:Boys Basketball, Jan 19-Mar 5, 2016(We have several home games this month so please check the schedule and plan on attending!)Girls Basketball, March 17- May 7, 2016Boys Soccer, March 7-May 7, 2016Futures Football, March 19-May 10, 2016

Student Conduct in classes and at school:Since our return from winter break, we have seen an alarming increase in the number of incidents of verbal/physical aggression and fights at school, particularly with our girls. This increase of aggression is directly related to student improper use of social media programs like Snap Chat, Facebook and other social media outlets. This kind of physical and relational aggression is not normal for Columbia students and we would like your help in helping all students become successful when dealing with dealing with conflict between peers.

This month both Mr. Osborn and Mrs. Boyd will have lunch time discussions and presentations with students about the best ways to deal with conflict, what to do when problems arise and the consequences of continued acts of violence and aggression at Columbia. Please discuss positive and proactive ways to help your child manage conflicts at school. We are encouraging students to seek out an adult to help medi-ate conflicts. We are also encouraging students not to engage in negative conversations through social media which makes conflicts worse. Columbia has a team of adults trained to help students through difficult social and emotional situations. We want students to come to the Student Support Center for help when a conflict arises, but our team is prepared to follow through with school consequences including out of school suspensions if students continue to approach conflicts with aggression and physical contact.

All students who have been here during the first semester know our Columbia Middle School behavior expectations. There is really no excuse for not following our school rules this late in the school year. Please continue to discuss these expectations with your children, and let them know that consequences will be stiffer this second half of the school year.

Mrs. Boyd and I would much rather visit classrooms this semester to observe student learning than to remove students from classrooms for misbehavior.

Let’s finish this school year strong, and send out 8th graders off to high school, well prepared to meet challenges that await them.

With warmest regards,

Kevin Osborn, Dean of StudentsDeLisha Boyd, Dean of Students

NewsfromtheLibraryColumbia’s Battle of the Books has begun!Battle of the Books is a friendly reading competition where students commit to read 10 chosen books and then battle in teams against each other - answering questions about those books.

This year, we have 100 students competing. We are excited as this is triple the number of students who participated last year!

Our students will spend 4 months reading all 10 books and prepar-ing to battle each other in May.

Winning team members will earn prizes and we will have a celebra-tion with all participants after the battle is over.

Good luck teams and keep reading!
