Parking
We suggest you park in the back in the back of the school. The drive way is located off Gosling next to the fire station. Main entry to Collins Express will be the back of Collin.
In order to receive your child’s homeroom and learning community information, you will need to complete your student's InfoSnap registration.
The district sent emails to all families with a direct link to your InfoSnap registration.
We will have computers located in our gym for parents to complete InfoSnap registration prior to going to the homeroom classroom.
Your student's InfoSnap code and website link was sent to you via email in July.
I didn't receive the email...
- Please check your spam/junk email for the district email.
- If your email address changed and you didn't share the change with the school you will have not received the email.
- Snapcodes are unique each year and are linked to each student's personal information. For reasons of privacy and security Conroe Independent School District has chosen to be the only ones to hand out snapcodes.
- The school included your student's snapcode (15 characters) on their original correspondence with you, giving directions on how to fill out your Verification of Student Registration.
- If you have misplaced or did not receive the student's snapcode, please contact your school directly to obtain it.
School Supplies
If you are purchasing supplies the list is below.
Bus Transportation
Registration for Bus Transportation
Students who were registered for bus service last year are automatically renewed each year, so only students who are new or have never registered for service will need to register for bus service. http://bus.conroeisd.net/RegisterTrans.aspx
In the coming days, CISD transportation will open the website to confirm and check all students bus information (pick up / drop off times and locations). https://routeinfo.conroeisd.net/infolocatorrc/info.aspx?OrgGuid=ORG-CONROE&profileguid=Conroe_1920
Bus Rider Transportation Tags
Any student riding the bus will be issued a bus tag to be placed on the outside of their backpack. Student’s tag will be scanned as the board the bus to leave each afternoon. If a student loses their tag during the year the child should let his/her homeroom teacher know immediately so that we can provide a replacement.
Bus Dismissal At The End Of School
Students will be dismissed from class to report to their assigned bus. As buses arrive the bus number will appear on the screen in each homeroom. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor the screen and leave class to load their bus.
Changing Buses
Students may NOT ride another bus except in emergencies and only with the permission of Collins Administration. Parents must submit a written request at least 24 hours in advance of the change. Administration must have time to verify the change with both sets of parents. Riding home with a friend on Friday to spend the night is not a change that will be approved. Once approved the school will notify transportation and the bus driver.
A message from Conroe ISD Transportation Department
If your child has been registered for bus transportation for this school year, you may access your child’s bus information online through our Transportation Portal application. The Portal can be accessed by typing routeinfo.conroeisd.net into your web browser. When the page opens, please select Student Eligibility at the bottom of the page. Please have your child’s student ID number and birthdate ready in order to access this information. Routes will continue to be updated as more students register for school. Please check back often to see if there are any changes to your child's route.
For more detailed information, please go to the Conroe ISD Transportation home page at http://www.conroeisd.net/transportation/

Eat Breakfast at School!
Breakfast is served at school! School breakfast will give your child a healthy start to the day. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can learn more in class. Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
Breakfast at school is affordable at only $1.35. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. You can’t find a healthy breakfast at such a low cost anywhere else.
Help your child start the day right with school breakfast!

Visitors/Volunteers
· Parents and family are welcome in our building but must check in and out through the front office with a current driver’s license or other form of identification.
· A new security feature has been added to the front doors. After school begins visitors will use a call box to announce arrival then the front desk will buzz you in.
· All parents must complete a volunteer application on-line before volunteering at the school or chaperoning field trips. The application process must be completed every year.
· We encourage you to complete the volunteer application at the beginning of the year instead of prior to a field trip. The approval process could take up to a week to process ad we would not want any parent missing an opportunity to chaperone a field trip due to the application process not being completed.
