November National Holidays
Forget-Me-Not Day
A day to remember family, friends, and loved ones. People use this holiday to get in touch with family, friends, and loved ones, especially those who we haven’t seen in a while. You don’t want them to forget you, do you!? This day is intended to remember the living. But, some people have used it to memorialize a loved one who is no longer with us. And, that’s perfectly okay.
November 11th
Veterans Day
Honors all members of the Armed Forces who served this country valiantly, and in a very big way. They served and fought to protect us, keep our country safe, and preserve our way of life. Veterans gave their time and risked their lives for you and me. In many cases, they made the ultimate sacrifice.
In light of these two holidays, we have a word from Kid President about what it means to be a hero and how to commemorate the heroes in our lives!

Please Read! Parent Guide, Dress Code, and Lockers
Hello families,
- We are asking all parents to review the district Guide to Student Success. This guide was designed to lay out what is expected of a Columbus City Schools student.
- We ask that you pay particular attention to the Dress Code on page 16.
- Also, every student was given a locker and a combination to use during the school year. Bookbags, coats, and phones are to be kept in the locker during the school day. Students are able to go to their locker before school , before/after lunch and before they go home.
- Students are not permitted to carry their phones with them during the day.
Thank you!
