For Chromebook and internet hot spot needs, please contact our principal Shellie Deime, 614-365-5935, mdeime2153@columbus.k12.oh.us.
We are here to help - please contact the school if anything is making it difficult to get your child to school on time each day.
If your child is absent, please call the school that day or send an excuse note when they return.
Caregivers are able to excuse up to 9 absences in a school year without a doctor's note. Any absences beyond that require a doctor's note or other documentation and must be approved by the principal in order to be excused.
Please keep the school up-to-date on your home address and phone number. Report any changes to the school secretary.

When you power on the Chromebook and connect to Wi-Fi, you will then be required to sign in to the device. The username is your student’s district-issued ID number followed by @columbus.k12.oh.us (example: student ID is 123456, username: 123456@columbus.k12.oh.us). The password will be your student’s birthdate in the format of 01-01-2001 for month, day, year.
Check out the district's basic Chromebook & technology guides here.
Use the CCS Parent Portal to access your child's school information. You can log in to the Parent Portal from a computer, or via the "Campus Parent" app. If you do not have access to your Parent Portal Account in Infinite Campus, you can obtain access by sending a picture ID, along with the child’s name and date of birth, to parentportalaccess@columbus.k12.oh.us.
If you previously had access but can’t remember the password, you can select “reset password” and an automatic email will be sent to the email provided when you signed up.
