Our first Family Night of the school year will take place on Tuesday, November 8^th.   There are no games, practices, homework or activities on this night.  Life gets extremely busy all the time and it’s easy to get caught in everyday tasks.  Sometimes all the things on our to-do lists prevent us from just slowing down and enjoying our kids.  We hope that you have a great evening with your family!

 

Copopa will be hosting a Veterans Day celebration on Friday, November 11^th.   Continental breakfast will begin at 8:45 am and the ceremony is at 9:30 am.  If interested, please contact the Copopa main office at (440) 236-5020.  Additional information can be found on our website and click on Copopa Elementary.    

 

We continue to see a tremendous amount of support for our schools and the renewal levy that is on the ballot on Tuesday, November 8.  We made a promise back in 2013 when this renewal levy was first on the ballot that we would not ask for any NEW money for at least 10 years!  We have kept this promise as only renewals or combining of older levies have come to our community for a vote.  Our 5-year forecast will continue to be stable with the passage of Issue #4.  Regardless of what you may hear otherwise, CLSD will continue to open and honest with all of our accounting practices.  If you have a question or concern, please feel free to reach out to me or our Treasurer, Pat Eddy.     

November 8^th is a BIG day for our school district.  A reminder that polls are open from 6:30 am until 7:30 pm at the Ummah Center.   Issue #4 is a renewal operating levy with NO additional taxes!  This general fund operating levy will collect 5.5 mills per year in revenue for CLSD for the purpose of educating our students.  This levy was originally passed in November 2013 and was renewed in 2018.  Funds from this levy are used for:  safety and security, transportation, retention of staff, salaries/benefits, building maintenance, utilities and much more.  On November 8^th, please support Columbia Local Schools!   Thank you!

      

Fall has finally arrived.   Enjoy the warmer days as there will be few left!  We have been blessed in CLSD with a wonderful start to the school year.  I can’t express my gratitude enough to our students, staff and families!  This truly is a special community!
