Dear Colfax Families, Last Tuesday, our Facilities Master Plan Steering Committee met for the first of three workshops to begin the process of identifying and prioritizing future campus and classroom improvements. I want to thank our staff, parents, and administration for their engagement, creativity, and commitment to this important project. Our Steering Committee is actively seeking feedback from all of our families and community members. In the lobby at the entrance of Colfax Elementary, we have posted two large maps of the school campus. Everyone is welcome to stop by the school office between now and February 7th, to add Post-It notes to the maps with your suggestions for campus improvements. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated and will help to ensure that we have a state of the art school facility that reflects the educational needs of our students in the 21st century. Thank you! Andy Giannini Superintendent
