Principal's Notes May 2025

Dear Columbine Family,
Thank you all for your dedication to attendance during CMAS testing! All of our students successfully completed their tests. We look forward to seeing our results in August. As we enter the final month of the school year, please keep in mind that our students are still learning. Attendance is important. Please try to avoid pulling your student out of school unless it is absolutely necessary.

We have a significant number of jackets and coats in the lost and found. Please have your student check on the hooks across from the gym if you are missing some warmer clothing. I would like to give a sincere thank you to all of you for a great 24-25 school year. Staff and students have worked hard all year, and the support of our families is priceless!

Thank you,
Simone Carruth
Principal

Columbine Wellness

The social-emotional focus for the month of May is decision making. Teaching children effective decision making involves giving them opportunities to practice in a safe environment, offering choices, and helping them understand the consequences of their actions. As kids get older, decisions become more important, and more complicated. Start small, such as allowing them to decide what to eat at a restaurant or what clothes to wear. Don't always jump in if you see your child making a bad decision. Children often learn best from their mistakes, so if its a safe situation, it may be good for them to make a bad decision.
