IMPORTANT NOTESTHANK YOU!

I greatly appreciate all the warm wishes and goodies during our holiday celebration. I wish all of you the very best in 2019!

Save the NEW DateThe fourth and fifth graders will perform in a Holiday Musical January 7th at 6:30pm in the multi-purpose room. Don’t miss this great event.

New GCS Start Time:Starting January 3rd, Colfax will begin its school day five minutes earlier at 7:15am. These extra five minutes may not seem like much, but they will help us meet state requirements and avoid adding more make-up days to the 2018-19 calendar. Bus riders, please be at your bus stop five minutes earlier.
