FROM THE DESK OF DONALD MOOK, Ed.D.
2019-2020 – Columbiana School District is The Place to Be!
Dear Parents and Community Members,
I wanted to update you about some important information regarding the state mandated school closure because of COVID-19. We appreciate your patience and understanding, as this is an unprecedented situation. This is something no one expected, but our teachers and staff are committed to ensuring your child still receives a high-quality education. Virtual learning has started for most of our students. This education looks different building to building, but please know your child’s teachers are dedicated to meeting the needs of every student.
New protocols have been established in regards to packet pickup and drop off to ensure the safety of everyone. We are trying to minimize paper exchange during this, but understand there are families who have limited or no internet access. Teachers will place new packets in bins on Monday. However, as a safety measure, packets will be under quarantine until Thursday. Thursday is the new designated packet pickup/drop off for all grades, K-12, and will take place exclusively in the Commons at Columbiana High School from 8- 2 p.m. Teachers will not retrieve dropped off packets until the following Monday as a safety precaution.
I also want to let you know about a change in meal delivery. We are now moving to Curbside Pickup starting March 30. Curbside Pickup will have five days worth of food. Again, please complete the following survey if you have not already done so.
Here’s the link for the survey.
If you don’t have internet access, please call your school building, leave your name, contact information and your child’s name. Meal distribution is free and for every student in the district.
Curbside Meal Pickup
Family Names A-F will pick-up at Dixon, Front entrance
Family Names G-N will pick-up at Columbiana Middle School- Multipurpose entrance
Family Names O-Z will pick up at Columbiana High School- Band entrance
PLEASE DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE FOR CURBSIDE PICKUP
A special thank you to our food service and transportation workers for all they’re doing.
Thank you for your continued support, and GO CLIPS!
Columbiana High School
It’s imperative that ALL high school students check in to every class daily. This is how students earn attendance, and completing assigned work is how students are earning credit.
Mr. Buzzard wants high school students to know and understand they have three important jobs:
Help each other- this means working with your teachers and asking questions. Also, do not stress out your parents/ guardians.
Check in to all of your classes daily- again this is how attendance is being taken and how every student is earning credit.
Do your work to the best of your ability and turn it in on time.
Mrs. Cleghorn has met with each class, and is working with seniors in regards to scholarships.
She’s utilizing Remind to connect with students. High schoolers need to check their school email on a daily basis. She is also working on scheduling for the 2020-2021 school year.
