Beginning tomorrow, Sixth St., between Locust and Cherry Streets, will be one way (southbound) from 8:00-8:30 a.m. to ensure safe student drop off via our new Drop Off Lane. All students arriving by car must be dropped off using the Drop Off Lane. K-2 students will enter through the front doors and students in grades 3 and 4 will walk around the side of the building to the lower Cherry St. doors.

Dear Park Families,
We are currently partnering with the YMCA to offer before and after school care for Park Elementary students. To begin operating, the Department of Human Services must approve our site. This process has experienced delays. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have our before and after school care programs operating until after the start of the school year. We do anticipate a fall opening.
Please stay tuned for more details as we will keep you informed when new information is available.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Landis

Save the Date: Park Elementary Back to School Night. August 19.
Columbia school supply drive for CBSD and OLA students.
Second grade students read the book Creepy Pair of Underwear around a "campfire" in the classroom. They then set up their tents and wrote about the story and talked about the sequence of events. Students ended the lesson learning about s'mores and had a s'more snack. Yum!
Reminder: Park Elementary has an early dismissal tomorrow at 1 p.m. Please make arrangements to pick up your child on time.
Attention Parents/Caregivers: In an effort to promote safety in our schools, the Columbia Borough School District will be conducting active intruder drills at all three buildings this week. These drills will allow our students and staff to practice safety procedures while also helping our district to become safer through the knowledge gained and areas for improvement we identify each time a drill is done. While the drill will have set simulations at each building, we will not be utilizing any simulated weapons or weapon sounds for the drill. Once the drill concludes, students and staff will return to the building from our rally (safe) points. As part of this drill, we will ask that parents and guardians not come to the building to pick-up students during this time. Prior to our active intruder drill, staff will discuss school safety with students, including the details of the armed intruder drill. If you have any questions, please contact the building.
Join us for our spring Caregiver Café today at 2 p.m. in Locust Street Park. Meet Superintendent Rizzo, greet other Park families, and enjoy refreshments. We look forward to seeing you this afternoon!
