Colfax Elementary School District

We are installing Go Guardian as a security measure for student online use. Unfortunately, there is a glitch, and students are being denied access to their online homework. Teachers will work with students to finish these assignments in class tomorrow.
Thanks,

Yesterday, our middle school students hosted an amazing Market Day for the younger students school-wide. The middle school students learned about marketing, consumer demand, and pricing. Thank you to Mrs. Fee for organizing a great event!

Colfax Elementary students competed against their teachers in the Streamer Relay at this morning's Bulldog Blast.

Kindergartners in Mr. Larsh's class had a blast measuring parts of the playground with cutouts of their own feet. The students measured different objects and recorded the measurements in their field notebooks. Look at that engagement and learning!
