Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin
Reminders for the Week:
Welcome Back!
Each week I will be sending a Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin to the parent community, which will contain important information about our school initiatives, programs, and extracurricular activities. As a reminder, our first day of school is this Thursday, August 24, 2023. Our Open House is this Wednesday, August 23, from 6 pm until 7:30 pm. We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of our new STEM lab at 6:30 pm.
On behalf of the Columbia Central Staff, we look forward to opening our doors to the parent community as we start an exciting new school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carnes
Columbia Central Middle School Principal
Steger Police Department
