Dear parents and guardians, several schools at LCPS have gone into a shelter-in-place due to lightning detected within 10 miles of our schools. Upon the occurrence of lightning at dismissal time, students who drive may be released based on principal’s discretion. All bus riders and walkers will be sheltered until the area is deemed safe. If you are picking up your child while a school is sheltering in place due to weather, you may do so at your own risk.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check in with your child's school for updates.
*Please note that buses will be running late today.

Join us families for Columbia's Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 27th from 6:00-7:30 at Vista Middle School. It's going to be a lot of fun! Also, if you can, please send your candy donations as soon as possible.
Our 2023 Jog-a-thon is now live and online! If you want to donate to a specific student, just type in their name and choose their class. Otherwise you can just make direct donations to all of Columbia.
All students should have come home today with a packet for collecting both online and cash donations. Every student has their own QR code to the website to credit them with the donations. This should make collecting money a breeze.
All cash donations are due November 1st on Jog-a-thon day and online donations are open until November 9th.
