Meet the Building!
Back-to-School 2026-2027
Good morning, students!
Welcome to Columbia Elementary!
Every morning, when your student gets off the bus, there will be a teacher at the door of the school to greet them and make sure they know where to go. Please be patient with our transportation team in regard to pickup and drop off times in this first week. They are ironing out the schedule. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Any change of transportation needs to be communicated with the office. Send a note with your student or call us, 574-223-2501, before 1:00pm. Ms. Lahman will be more than happy to let you know if a change can be made for that day. We DO NOT allow bus passes and bus route changes do require 48 hours to take affect.
If you're dropping your student off in the car line please be sure to watch the video below for detailed information.
We can't wait to see you! 👋
