Busy night. Important work. 🔵⚪🚍
Last night, our Wildcat bus drivers participated in additional training focused on student safety. We welcomed Trooper Marlow of the Iowa State Patrol for School Transportation Active Threat Training, which reviewed awareness and response considerations specific to school transportation. 🛡️
The Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency (MBAEA) also provided the Annual Bus Driver Training from the Iowa Department of Education. Topics included intervention strategies, passenger van safety, emergency procedures, and bus lot safety. 📘🚨
Ongoing training helps ensure our drivers are prepared, consistent, and focused on providing a safe transportation experience for students and peace of mind for families.
Thank you to our drivers for their continued commitment to student safety on every route, every day. 🔵⚪

A celebration from our transportation director: Tyler Hinkhouse
Today, our Columbus Community Schools transportation team completed their 2nd semester bus inspections and the results were perfect: 18 vehicles inspected with ZERO citations.
This marks our first-ever perfect inspection, a milestone that reflects the daily care, professionalism, and dedication our transportation staff bring to keeping students safe on every route, every single day.
We’re grateful for Inspector Joe with the Iowa Department of Education for conducting the inspections and recognizing the high standard of safety our team maintains.
A special thank you to Jeff, Neil, Tom, and Ben for assisting with inspections and supporting the team’s success. Your commitment keeps the Wildcats rolling strong!

School Attendance Matters 💙📚
When students are feeling well, showing up to school consistently helps them build strong routines, stay connected to their teachers and classmates, and keep up with daily learning that can’t be fully replaced. Each day of attendance supports academic growth, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
As a district, we are committed to improving daily attendance and partnering with families to support student success. Thank you for helping your child make school a priority. Every day counts! 💙🐾
