Stay Informed. Get Involved.

Mark your calendars for our first Community PTO meeting of the school year. Join us Wednesday, September 13 from 6:00 to 7:00pm in the Colfax library. We are pleased to offer free childcare during the meeting to make it easier for you to attend. The agenda will be sent out prior to the meeting.

We encourage you to arrive early and also participate in the Parent School Community Council (PSCC) meeting, which will be held from 5:00 to 6:00pm also in the library. The monthly PSCC meetings provide a valuable platform for families, community members, and school staff to discuss important topics related to the school and provide advice to the school leadership.

Don't miss these opportunities to be actively involved in your child's education and contribute to our vibrant school community. We look forward to seeing you there!
