Dear Columbus Academy Families,

We hope you have enjoyed a pleasant Mother’s Day Weekend and are looking forward to the final weeks of the school year.

Our campus is hosting a large event tomorrow (Monday, May 9) after school. The Mid-State League Track & Field Meet will include all eight middle school teams in the Ohio Division, so there will be heavy traffic involving buses and spectator cars arriving soon after afternoon pickup ends and possibly overlapping with part of it. Because it is a postseason event, all spectators must be charged $5 to attend, and this includes Academy parents, guardians and students.

If you are coming to campus for any reason after 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, we encourage you to use the Beecher Road entrance, if possible, to avoid the track meet traffic. It would be best to avoid Viking Way along the lower school entrance, and student-athletes are encouraged not to park in the athletics lot tomorrow because it may be difficult to leave that area once the meet starts at 4:30 p.m.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and go Vikes!

Perry Doran

Director of Campus Safety and Security
