Communication and Support

Building Accountability Committee

Each school has an accountability committee to assist the principal and staff in the planning/accountability process aimed at producing a quality educational program for each student in the school. The committee meets monthly and is composed of the principal, staff members, parents, and other community members.

The school principal, as the instructional leader of the school, is the key person in building level accountability and the improvement process. Key elements of committee involvement include: 1) an effective planning process, 2) wide involvement, and 3) disclosure/reporting of results. The focus is on improvement more than maintenance and on achievable priorities rather than comprehensiveness.

Colorado’s Accountability/Accreditation program is important because it enhances local control by allowing the local district to determine its own goals, priorities, plans, evaluation procedures, and expectations for quality educational programs in a partnership arrangement with the state Department of Education.

Under Colorado accreditation regulations, each school building must develop action plans for school improvement based upon district priorities unique to each individual building.

Communication between Home and School

It is the intention of the school office to keep all parents well-informed regarding school programs, policies, and activities. Fliers and other notices are frequently sent home with students. Columbine distributes a monthly newsletter to all families -- look for this on Fridays. If your child fails to give you this information, please ask him/her for it. Our teachers also communicate frequently with parents. We want you to be well-informed! If for some reason you feel like you need more information about anything to do with Columbine, please call us. We will continue to provide our monthly Capsule and other important notices in Spanish for those in our community who would find that helpful.
