***Reminder - Dismissal is at 2:05pm today!
Dear CES Friends and Families,
We made it! As the final bell rings on another incredible school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our entire Columbia Cougar community. This year has been defined by remarkable student growth, academic milestones, and countless moments of joy.
To our parents and guardians: thank you for your unwavering partnership, trust, and dedication. Your support at home is the foundation of our students' success.
To our wonderful students: I am so proud of your hard work, resilience, and the kindness you've shown one another this year.
Summer hours for the main office will be Mondays-Fridays, from 9am - 1pm, or you can always email Mr. A. at mastudillo1@fcps.edu.
I wish you all a safe, relaxing, and memory-filled summer. Read great books, play outside, and enjoy this well-deserved break. We can’t wait to welcome you back in the fall!
Take care,
Mike Astudillo
Proud Principal
Columbia Elementary School

Last Day to pickup medication from Clinic
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
