DEAR CUES FAMILIES,

We are so proud of all of our Columbia students and look forward with excitement to an awesome year. Here are a few things that may be helpful for you to know as we begin the school year:

BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Students at CES and CUES can enjoy free breakfast anytime from 7:45 a.m. to 8:05 a.m. Students also have the option to take a grab-and-go breakfast as a snack if they have already eaten breakfast at home. Please do not drop off children before 7:45 a.m. as no adult supervision is available until 7:45 a.m. Keeping children safe is our priority!

LUNCH PROGRAM

Lunch costs $2.65 daily, which includes milk. If you pack your child’s lunch, they can purchase milk ONLY for 50 cents. Please consider filling out a free or reduced lunch application even if you are unsure that you will qualify. If your child qualifies, it helps your family, and it also helps our school! This information is kept confidential. Students are not identified in any way by how they pay for their lunch.

COLUMBIA CONNECTION - We look forward to connecting with you!

The Columbia Upper Elementary School (3-6) faculty and the School Improvement Committee continues to implement their vision which was developed using the approved profile of the learner as the foundation. This vision focuses on six categories:

• Teaching and learning

• Instructional design

• Curriculum

• CO-Curricular activities

• Home and community

• The adult world of the school

Home and Community
Columbia Upper Elementary School emphasizes the importance of a close relationship between school, home, and community. This emphasis is given relevance through the following activities:

• Use school as a community recreation center

• Develop business education partnership

• Develop community service projects

• Use field trips to increase understanding

• Use community volunteers (seniors, parents, tutors, etc.)

• Strengthen student communication channels

• Involve home in homework
