Principal's Message

Dear Raider Families,
 
Welcome to Columbia Middle School, where every day is a chance to grow, lead, and shine! I’m honored to serve a school community filled with incredible students who show us daily what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Ready.
 
Our commitment to excellence starts with strong partnerships between home and school. Together, we create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
 
Thank you to our families for your trust, encouragement, and involvement. Students, keep believing in yourselves, working hard, and lifting each other up, because Raiders rise to every challenge with pride and purpose!
 
Let’s make this school year one of growth, joy, and success.
 
With Raider Pride,
 
Holly Barnes

Parent Square is replacing Remind

Dear Raider Staff and Families,
Columbia County Schools will soon be transitioning away from Remind. Remind has been purchased by ParentSquare, and ParentSquare offers several new and exciting communication features that we are eager to begin using.
If you did not receive a registration link by email, no worries. You can sign up directly in ParentSquare using the email address listed in Infinite Campus, and your account will automatically connect to your student.
Remind101 messaging will begin phasing out in mid‑April, and we want to ensure everyone stays informed throughout this transition. To help you get familiar with ParentSquare, we are sharing a Remind vs. ParentSquare Terminology Guide that highlights how common features align between the two platforms.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation as we make this important transition.
