Parents and Caregivers: Thank you for your response to our first survey. Due to your responses we can make necessary adjustments to our Grab & Go program. We had an overwhelming majority of parents wanting meal bundles for 3 days reducing pick up to once a week instead of three times a week. We also put the grab and go menu option on Park and Taylor’s October menu and implemented more variety. We would like your opinion on one more item; timing of meal bundle pick up. If you have any other suggestion or concerns please email Alaina Melendez, Director of Food Services at amelendez@columbiabsd.org.

We apologize for the confusion with Seesaw this morning. Yesterday, our programs were synced with one another to ensure all students had access and were able to easily connect remotely.

Students who were not able to access classroom Zooms and/or materials will not be marked absent.
