Wednesday, May 7, will be our annual hair donation event at Columbus.  Over the past 10 years, we have had 331 participants donate a total of 1260 ponytails and 3109.5 inches!  Anyone interested in donating hair should complete THIS FORM and turn it in to Mandy Volkman at the Columbus building. Any hair stylists interested in donating their time and talents for this event, please contact Mandy Volkman (volkman.mandy@columbusdons.org or 715-387-1177 ext. 3301).  We will again be sending the donated hair to CHILDREN WITH HAIR LOSS.

Yes, athletic preparations are underway for the 2025-2026 school year.  All incoming fifth grade students are due for a physical to be completed before the next school year by their medical provider, if they are planning on participating in a sport next school year.  We hope by sending this notification this school year, it allows families to make a more conveniently timed appointment prior to the sports season next school year, since it is sometimes difficult to schedule appointments within a short period of time.  Please know… any family can reference the date or their child's last physical on file using the FACTS Family App.  Physicals done after April 1, 2024, are considered current for the 2025-26 school year.  If you have any questions, please contact Alexis Vine via email or by phone 715-387-5474. 

Galleon is scheduled for May 2, 2025 at Hotel Marshfield. This event requires a lot of preparation, as well as volunteers. If you are interested in joining the Galleon Planning Committee, or attending a meeting, please contact Melissa Schmitt at schmitt.melissa@columbusdons.org.  

Substitute teachers are needed for all grade levels!  We have small class sizes and supportive staff.  Call 715-387-1177 ext. 3305 or email humanresources@columbusdons.org.    Click here to see this and all available positions.

You can find cancellation announcements on WSAW, wsaw.com, the CCS Facebook page, our website, and via email. In recent years, we used the Remind text alert system, but will be changing over to text alerts that get sent out through FACTS.

While we’ll continue to limit text alerts to cancellations, you may start seeing texts about cancellations for games, practices, or other events as well as full school cancellations.

To ensure you are able to receive our alerts please text the keyword “START” to 31-706 from your mobile device. Any text alerts from our school will begin with “CCS Alert” and calls will show from 715-387-1177. Per the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, we provide all recipients with the option to Opt Out of receiving school alerts. Anytime we send a text alert, you will see ‘Stop to End’. If you reply ’Stop’ you will no longer receive our text alerts regardless if we select you as a recipient.”
