October
From the Principal...
Hello Colbert Families!
What an amazing first month of school! Thank you to all of you who volunteered at our Ice Cream Social, as well as our Apex Fun Run to help make them such successful events! Our Virtual Open Houses are posted on the website now. Click HERE to access your child's classroom video.
October promises to be an action-packed month at Colbert with several exciting events on the horizon. Be prepared for Parent/Teacher Conferences, Grandparent/Special Person Day, The Bookfair, and our much-anticipated Second Annual Trunk or Treat. Below you will find more information about each of our upcoming events, as well as links to sign up to volunteer!

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conferences are right around the corner, so I have included some important information regarding how to sign up for your child’s conference, as well as the dates and times of conferences.
How?
We will be using PickAtime, our online scheduler for parent-teacher conferences again.
This link will go live on Monday, October 2, and will close on Monday, October 9th. If you need assistance in scheduling, or do not have access to the internet, please call our front office to schedule at 465-6300.
A Note from Our Counselor...
We are one month into the new school year and I am impressed with how well the kiddos have settled back into school. Way to go families for helping to prepare and support your children for a successful school year!
Starting in October I will be going into each classroom and teaching our district mandated unit on Bullying. Here is a link to this unit's standards if you'd like to become more aware of what this unit covers: Bullying Unit Standards.

News From PTO...
Hello Colbert Families!
What a fun first month of school!
We did not have many responses for our student directory. This will be the official LAST call for the student directory. Each year our Colbert Elementary PTO puts together a student directory. This is a great way for families to connect within our Elementary School. Please fill out this form if you would like to be included in the student directory. This is completely optional!
