Winter Salem Reminders
This is a reminder that even with colder winter weather, parents are NOT ALLOWED into the building during student drop-off and pick-up unless accompanying a student to or from the main office. Additionally, the main office will be closing at 3 p.m. each day. Even with recess being indoors most days, please make sure to dress your child warmly with hats, gloves, and winter coat if possible. If you need assistance with obtaining winter outerwear, please contact our school Counselor Melissa Robles at mrobles@columbus.k12.oh.us.
