Back-to-School Night
Back-to-School Night will be held this upcoming Tuesday, August 31, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The event will begin in the Dining Hall, where doors will open at 6:45 p.m. so we are able to start promptly at 7:00. There will be a short program with messages from me and Head of School Melissa Soderberg. Afterward, parents will move into the middle school building to meet teachers and visit classrooms, following your children’s “A” day schedules. Schedules for your students will be provided to you on Tuesday evening. In advisory on Monday, students will complete a schedule template that will guide parents and guardians through the evening.
Advisory
As we focus on reconnecting as a middle school community, we are happy to add the tools and resources of Developmental Designs for our advisory program this year. You will hear a brief synopsis of this at Back-to-School Night.
Update on Student Planners
The shipping of our student planners was delayed this year so they were not provided to students this week. We expect them to arrive next week. The students have received a paper copy to cover the first few weeks of school.
Mask Reminder
Students did an excellent job with their masks this week and should continue to bring extra masks with them to school. Please keep in mind, students should only wear masks that are a solid color and without patterns, logos, lettering, etc.
Siblings at the Carline
Middle-schoolers with siblings in the Lower School should walk to the lower school carline after school for pickup unless they are bus-riders, going to CASE or staying for athletics.
Late Arrival/Early Dismissal
For any middle school students who arrive late or need to leave early, please contact Mrs. Jackson in the middle school office at jacksonn@columbusacademy.org or 614-509-2264..
Thank you for a great week. See you at Back-to-School Night. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Head of Middle School
