Transportation Message: Due to high water covering some roadways and the need to make potential changes in routes, busses may be later than normal today dropping off students.
Thursday: Bus #9 middle school and high school students will be picked up by Bus #8 - 15 minutes early on Thursday. This will cause a 15 minute delay in the normal middle school and high school bus riders for Bus #8. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
Congratulations to Garrett Finsley and Trey Snyder who qualified for the County Spelling Bee finals @ Lisbon David Anderson Jr. / Sr. High School on March 9th at 6:30pm. Great Job!

A “magical” assignment combines literacy, STEM (science, technology, mathematics and engineering) and creativity all in one for second graders at Joshua Dixon Elementary School.
The “Fairy Tale Reunion” serves as a culminating activity for second graders, who have spent weeks studying how to determine if a story is a fairy tale, and identifying character traits in the story. The assignment incorporated several second grade standards, including comparing and contrasting two or more versions of a story, describing the overall structure of a story, and writing opinion pieces and concluding statements.
As part of the Fairy Tale Reunion, students dressed up as their favorite character, and created name badges with the character’s name and traits. Students also did STEM activities that went along with fairy tales.
Attention Columbiana High School: Columbiana High School will be closed today due to heating issues. Columbiana High School will use its second blizzard bag. Students should check Teacher webpages for today’s assignments. High school staff that teach middle school courses must report for middle school classes today.

Effective February 25, 2022, the CDC no longer requires that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems. This recommendation coincides with the low levels of COVID19 community spread in our area. At this point in time, masks will be at the discretion of the individual student and staff member traveling on Columbiana Exempted Village school's transportation.
