Building community

What is the Columbia Parent Association (CPA)?

The CPA is a volunteer team of parents and guardians who work together to support the mission of Columbia Elementary School.

As a registered 501(c)(3)non-profit association, we raise and spend funds to supplement school programs and organize volunteers to support teachers and provide enriching learning opportunities for Columbia students and families. The CPA works closely with our teachers and principal to ensure all students receive the best experience possible while attending Columbia.
