Como Elementary has fully implemented Common Core Standards in reading and math, as well as providing instruction in science, social studies, writing and health. Art, music and physical education are also part of each student's weekly schedule at Como. Instrumental music, choir and hand bell choir are offerd to interested students at the intermediate grade levels.
Our students with special needs receive individualized classroom instruction, are mainstreamed when appropriate, and receive support from Columbus City Schools Occupational & Physical Therapy, and the Adaptive Physical Education Departments. Support services for all students include: a guidance counselor, psychologist, social worker, nurse, special education tutors, and a speech pathologist.
The Como staff, students, and families practice PBIS-Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support. This is a proactive approach for all students to achieve sucess. Children are asked to SOAR (Stay Safe, Ownership of Actions, Act Appropriately, and Respect Others) in all areas of the school.
