From the Principal...

Dear Colbert Families,


We are excited to invite you to our Stories, Songs, and Service Event on Friday, December 13! This special event will include delightful performances by our students and an opportunity for families to work together in spreading holiday cheer by creating cards for local organizations in our community. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season, and we hope to see you there!

As winter weather sets in, we kindly remind families to dress their children in weather-appropriate clothing, including hats, gloves, coats, and boots. We aim to get students outside for recess as often as possible to enjoy fresh air, even on chilly days, so it’s important that they are prepared to stay warm.


Thank you for your continued support in making Colbert Elementary such a fantastic community!

Warm regards,

Cari Trowbridge

Principal

District Nutrition Policy

As the holidays approach I just wanted to give our families a reminder about our Policy 6700 around Nutrition. As a district we are allowed to have only one class party a month with snacks that are not Smart Snacks. We encourage our families to contact their child's teacher for alternative ways that birthdays can be celebrated in the classroom. You can find the policy at the link below.
