Columbia Elementary School will be starting an attendance and state testing incentive for all of our students!
Every trimester, students with perfect attendance will not only receive a delightful (possibly frozen) treat, they will also be entered into a drawing for prizes donated by several of our local businesses and shops! If we have a classroom with perfect attendance, they will have a pizza party!
Also, we have state testing coming up and we want to be sure that every student tries their best. With state testing, students are assessed in the areas of English Language Arts and Math. If students show improvement from the previous year, they will be entered into a drawing for multiple prizes and a "big mystery prize."
The best part is, if they show growth in both English Language Arts and Math, they get entered twice! And, as a bonus, if a student jumps up in their performance group, they will be entered again.
And now that the state will begin rating schools in Science, students are eligible to receive additional entries with their performance and growth there as well.
We have seen a lot of positive movement in our enrollment, attendance, and academic performance, so we want to be able to encourage students to continue showing everyone what makes Columbia Elementary School a special place to be. We want to also share our appreciation for our families in supporting their children and our teachers, as well as expressing our thanks to all the local businesses for their donations.
