Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff and Students,
Please be advised that the school district will observe a 3-hour early release on Thursday, October 22, 2026.
This adjusted schedule is necessary to allow our faculty and staff to complete mandatory Special Education professional development modules required by the State of Ohio. Investing this focused time in training ensures our educators remain up to date on state guidelines and continue providing high-quality, inclusive support for all students.
Schedule Details for October 22
Dismissal: All school buildings will dismiss 3 hours earlier than their standard dismissal times.
Transportation: Afternoon bus routes will run exactly 3 hours ahead of their normal schedules.
Lunch: Lunch will be served to students prior to early dismissal.
After-School Activities: All after school activities and/or parent teacher conferences will continue as planned.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as our staff completes these state-required professional training modules. Please make the necessary arrangements for your child’s early arrival home.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our district.
Sincerely,
Dr. Donald Mook
Superintendent of Schools.

New - Speed Bumps.
Attention Clipper parents, students and staff: As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our students, staff, and families safe, we have installed two new speed bumps in the CHS drop-off and pick-up lane.
Please keep the following guidelines in mind starting this week:
Reduce Speed: Approach the drop-off and pick-up zone slowly and navigate over the new speed bumps with care.
Stay Alert: Watch for pedestrians, sudden stops, and school staff directing traffic.
Keep Traffic Moving: Pull all the way forward along the curb before allowing your student to enter or exit the vehicle safely.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as everyone adjusts to these changes. Thank you for doing your part to ensure our campus remains a safe environment for all our students.

Sidewalk Construction is taking place this week around CHS. The parent drop off will be unavailable the next few days.
Mornings: Parents will drop off in the same line for Middle School and High School, but will drop off between the High School GYM and the Maintenance room -- Picture attached.
Afternoons: High School Students will be dismissed after school out through the gym doors. Middle School Students will be dismissed through the cafeteria doors.
Bus Riders: Will exit as usual, however they will need to use the paved parking lot to walk to busses. The busses will be moved away from the sidewalks to permit safe passage to the appropriate bus.
School personnel and our resource officers will be present to assist with the temporary inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience as we improve our facilities.

Attention Clippers: Student athletes who will be in grades 8-12th for the 2026/2027 school year have the opportunity to attend Columbiana's 1st ever Clipper Summit this summer this week Wednesday through Friday. This summit was designed to bring together student athletes and coaches for grades 8th-12th from all sports to build strength, confidence, and teamwork. During this event, athletes will learn proper weightlifting techniques, speed and agility fundamentals, and safe training practices to help prevent injury. We have a great lineup of alumni speakers and local businesses coming in to speak and work with our student athletes.
In addition to physical training, the camp will focus on mental performance, including goal setting, leadership, and developing a positive, team first mindset. Athletes will also participate in fun, competitive activities that promote unity across all Columbiana sports programs.
Our goal is to help athletes improve their overall performance while building a strong, supportive athletic culture throughout the school. Please sign up through the google link before Wednesday and see the flyer for more details.
