Columbia Elementary School

Absences - When your child is absent or tardy (check-in late or check-out early), you need to use this link to complete a form for your child's excuse: 

I always appreciate it when parents send me a message to let me know your child will be absent because of sickness or travel. However, sending a message to me does not count as an absence excuse. You will still need to complete the Student Absence form. Please note, you do not need to email the office or send in a paper copy of an excuse. You will upload a picture of the doctor's excuse when you complete the form. Thank you! 

Transportation Changes - Anytime you need to change your child's transportation, please email cestransportation@madisoncity.k12.al.us
