Principal’s MessageColumbia Community,Happy New Year! Thank you to the entire Columbia community and all Aurora residents for their support of 3C in our November elections. This is my sixth year as principal, and the first year where I can share news with our community regarding adding resources and staffing back into our school for your children. Over these past several years, we have had to cut due to declining state and national economy 17 staff while maintaining the same number of students. Although this mill will not replace that many staff members, it is a great step in a positive direction. The impact of this new investment in our district will be developed in a couple of different phases. The first phase is the immediate access to additional staffing funds for the spring semester 2013 this school year. The second phase will be the addition of long range planning for July 1, 2013 and beyond.

During the December meeting with our PTSO/Accountability committee, the overwhelming consensus for supporting Columbia with phase 1 this spring will be the addition of a Spanish foreign language elective and additional support for math and after school tutoring during “Overtime”. As a direct result of this feedback, I would like to share with you plan of actions for bringing these sup-ports to Columbia.

Based on PTSO/Accountability feedback at the beginning of Decem-ber, we posted two positions (Spanish and Math Intervention) with the Aurora Public Schools Human Resources department. Candidates were screened and interviews held on December 21, 2012. As of the drafting of this letter to you, we are in the process of complet-ing reference and background checks for the top candidates in our interviews. We anticipate this to be completed by the second week of the new semester.

Meanwhile, I am working with the math and math intervention teach-ers to identify students who are struggling and will develop classes for these students. Also, before break, we developed a registration form for Spanish that was distributed in all of our elective (PE, Art and Music) classes. We will use these forms to determine the number

of sections and seats needed, and build that schedule as well when we return from break. What this may mean for your son/daughter is that they will start second semester with their original schedule based on current resources when they come back January 7, 2013, and then transition to a different elective or intervention schedule in late January for the remainder of the school year as our new resources become available.

At the same time, we are creating specific support contracts for our after school “Overtime” program. Columbia offers after school support in the media center five nights a week from 4 PM – 5 PM, with a bus provided on Monday and Wednesday each week. The bus is ONLY for kids who normally ride the school bus to and from Columbia at our regular stops that are attending our “Overtime” program. We have also secured free snacks for the kids who stay in “Overtime” from our partnership with the Food Bank of the Rockies. I will be adding two additional staff to the one hour block after school to support the needs of this program. We utilize the media center to allow students access to computers, books, research materials and tables where they may work independently, in small groups or larger settings.

Phase two of the funding through Mill Levy 3C will begin July 1, 2013 and provide a more permanent plan for supporting all school in APS. The district leadership team is analyzing budgets, state revenues and many other aspects of fiscal resources to appropriately inform building principals of the process for accessing resources in the school year to come.

My commitment to you is to work toward strengthening our overall program, adding in resources and equipment, and returning staffing levels to as close to what they used to be as possible. I am excited for the New Year ahead and the possibilities additional resources will mean to our school community.

Happy New Year!Steve Hamilton, Principal

Mensaje del directorComunidad de Columbia,¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Gracias a toda la comunidad de Columbia y a los residentes por su apoyo y la aprobación del artículo electoral 3C en las elecciones de noviembre. Este es mi sexto año como director, y el primer año en que puedo compartir noticias con la comunidad sobre la adición de recursos y personal de regreso a nuestra escuela para sus hijos. Durante los últimos anos, hemos tenido que hacer recortes, un total de 17 empleados, debido al estado en declive de la economía nacional mientras que mantuvimos el mismo número de estudiantes. Aunque los fondos recibidos por este aumento de impuestos no reemplazara todo el personal, es un gran paso en una dirección positiva. El impacto de esta nueva inversión en nuestro distrito será desarrollado en un par de fases diferentes. La primera fase es el acceso inmediato a fondos adicionales para contrataciones en el segundo semestre en el 2013 de este año escolar. La segunda fase será la adición de recursos basándonos en la planificación a tiempo largo para implementar empezando el 1ro de julio de 2013 y más adelante.

Durante la junta del PTSO/Comité de Responsabilidad en diciembre, el consenso arrollador para apoyar a Columbia esta primavera fue el de la adición de una clase optativa de español como segundo idioma y el apoyo adicional/intervención en el área de matemáticas y apoyo adi-cional después de escuela en el programa de “Overtime”. Como resultado de las opiniones reunidas, me gustaría compartir el plan de acción para traer ese apoyo aquí a Columbia.

Basado en las opiniones recibidas al principio de diciembre del grupo PTSO/Comité de Responsabilidad, publicamos dos posiciones (español e intervención de matemáticas) con el departamento de recursos humanos del distrito de las Escuelas Públicas de Aurora. Los candidatos que solicitaros el trabajo fueron considerados y entrevistados el 21 de diciembre. Al momento de escribir esta carta, estamos en proceso de completar el proceso de obtener referencias y verificar antecedentes de los solicitantes sobresalientes en las entrevistas. Nosotros anticipamos completar este proceso para la segunda semana después del regreso a clases en enero.

Mientras tanto, estoy trabajando con los maestros de matemáticas y clases de intervención para identificar estudiantes quienes están batallando y el plan es el desarrollo de secciones para estas clases. También, antes del receso, creamos una forma para que estudiantes solicitaran la clase de español y fue distribuida en las clases optativas (educación física, arte, música). Nosotros usaremos estas formas de solicitud para determinar el número de secciones y asientos necesarios, y formaremos esos horarios de clases también al regresar del receso. Lo que esto significa para su hijo/a es que él/ella comenzará el segundo semestre con sus clases básicas (matemáticas, alfabetismo, ciencia y estudios sociales) y las clases optativas y de intervención al regresar el 7 de enero, y luego harán la transición a una clase diferente a finales de enero hasta el resto del año escolar.

Al mismo tiempo, estamos creando contratos específicos para el personal que apoyara adicionalmente nuestro programa después de escuela, “Overtime”. Columbia ofrece apoyo académico después de escuela en el centro de comunicaciones (biblioteca) los cinco días de la semana escolar de 4 a 5 PM. También proveemos un autobús escolar los lunes y miércoles cada semana. El camión es SOLAMENTE para estudiantes que asisten al programa “Overtime” y que usan el autobús escolar regularmente para venir a la escuela, ya que el autobús solo va a las paradas regulares. También hemos asegurado comida ligera sin costo alguno por medio de nuestra asociación con el programa no lucrativo “Food Bank of the Rockies” para los niños que se asistan al programa “Overtime”. Estaré añadiendo 2 personas más para asistir en este programa que apoya las necesidades académicas de los estudiantes una hora después de escuela diariamente. Utilizaremos el centro de comunicaciones para permitir a los estudiantes acceso a las computadoras, libros, recursos de investigación y áreas de trabajo para que los estudiantes trabajen independientemente, en grupos pequeños o más grandes.

La fase dos de los fondos recibidos por medio del articulo de votación 3C que empezara el 1ro de julio de 2013, y proveerá un plan mas per-manente para apoyar todas las escuelas en el distrito APS. El equipo de liderazgo del distrito está analizando presupuestos, ingresos estatales y muchos otros aspectos de recursos fiscales para informar apropiadamente a los directores en las escuelas sobre el proceso a seguir para tener acceso a los recursos en los años por venir. Mi compromiso a ustedes es el de trabajar duro hacia el refuerzo de nuestros programas en general, aumentando recursos y equipo, y regresar a la contratación de personal a lo que era cuanto más sea posible. Estoy muy emocionado por el año que viene y las posibilidades que obtener recursos adicionales significan para nuestra comunidad.

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!Steve Hamilton, Director

Columbia Middle School – PTSO Happy New Year Columbia Parents! We have just entered into 2013 and you have heard the requests for parents to become involved in your child’s school. We need your help in the PTSO and need parents volunteering at Columbia. If you would like to volunteer you can reach Terry Foxworthy the PTSO Secretary at 303-999-7457 or contact the office at Columbia.

Parents: we would like to cordially invite and welcome you to any of these upcoming PTSO meetings!!!

January 10th, February 14th, March 7th, April 4th and May 2nd

From the Attendance OfficeAttendance is important to the academic performance and overall success of students. Regular attendance develops habits that are essential for success in school and beyond.

Please notify Columbia Middle School within 24 hours of the day of an absence on our 24 hour attendance line in English or Spanish at 303-326-1651.

See page 19 of the Parent and Student hand book for further in-formation regarding absences and tardies.

Update Your Contact Information Please make sure that your contact information is correct and up to date. Should an emergency arise and we do not have current information this could delay any phone call informing you of the situation.

If you have a new phone number, you may contact the school directly to update the change. For any additions or deletions of emergency contacts, a Demographic Change Form needs to be filled out and given to the school to submit to the Centralized Admissions office.

You may obtain a Student Demographic Change form at the school or on the Aurora Public Schools web site at http://admissions.aurorak12.org/requirements/admissions-forms

Reminder When Withdrawing Students from ColumbiaWhen withdrawing your student from Columbia, please let Mrs. Morin in counseling know at least 24 hours in advance of the withdrawal. The parent/guardian needs to sign a withdrawal form in the counseling office. The student is then responsible to take a withdrawal paper around to their classrooms, media center, cafeteria and nurse for signatures on their last day of attendance. They must also clean out their hall locker and PE locker (if applicable) and return all Columbia materials, such as textbooks, library books, etc.

Change of AddressHave you moved? Does Aurora Public Schools have a current address on file for you? If not, you will need to visit Centralized Admissions to complete the “Student Demographic Change” form. You must bring current *** proof of address and a photo ID with you.

Centralized Admissions is open Monday – Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. No appointment necessary. This office is open year round (including fall, one week in winter, spring and summer breaks) but closed district holidays.

Centralized Admissions Office: 1085 Peoria Street, Aurora, CO 80111 (SW corner of 11th Avenue and Peoria Street)

***For specific document requirements or to learn more about Centralized Admissions, visit http://admissions.aurora12.org

Please Make Appointments In AdvanceDue to budget cuts we have experienced in past years we have gradually reduced our staff significantly. This means everyone has to pitch in to cover more supervision areas and take on more daily tasks. For efficiency, we are requiring parents to please make appointments in advance to communicate with teachers, counselors and administrators regarding student needs. If you show up without an appointment, we might not be able to help you right away and you will be asked to return at a later, more convenient time for the person you need to see.

News

Congratulations to Roy Spratt and Rebecca Wegman for earning the PRIDE teachers of the month for November.

Our Leadership team has been working diligently with students to find new and interesting ways in incorporate P.R.I.D.E. into the everyday lives of students, faculty and parents. They have worked on the P.R.I.D.E. wall and prizes for earning P.R.I.D.E. tickets. Everyone can help. Feel free to ask anyone at Columbia questions aboutP.R.I.D.E. We could even use parent volunteers to be a part of P.R.I.D.E. at Columbia Middle School.

At the end of each progress report period(approximately 2 per quarter), Columbia celebrates students who earn 3’s and 4’s for work habits and no behavior referrals with a rewards lunch. While weather is nice, these students will eat outside and drawings for prizes will be held.Our next rewards lunch will be held January 11th during all lunch periods.

PTSO has graciously sponsored gift cards to award to two boys and two girls. Also, all students who celebrated received popsicles.
