The safety of our students is our number one priority at Columbia Middle School.  We work closely with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety and partner with their Neighborhood Resource Officers to ensure that our school is a safe place for learning.  

Drills are held throughout the school year so students and staff understand evacuation procedures.  Radio Communication Tests are done once a year, Fire Drills are held four times a year, Earthquake Drills are held four times a year and a Lockdown Drill is held once at the beginning of the school year.
