Columbia Central Weekly Bulletin

Dear Parents,

I hope your family is staying warm during this frigid weather. In case you didn't know, we have an E-Learning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16 due to the cold weather.

We were initially scheduled to conduct the winter MAP assessment this week, but that may change. I will provide an update soon.

Please stay warm!
