From The Principal
Now that we know we won't return this school year we will continue to work hard and keep learning. In the coming days and weeks we will determine how we wrap up some of our "end of the year" traditions. But until then keep finding the positive in each day. Keep being kind and loving to the family around you. And... WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
Big Hugs,
Shelli LeBlanc

Mrs. McCure Update
Greetings Collins’ Students and Parents!
I hope all of you are doing well this week. Remember that you can reach out to me at any time by either filling out the Google Form https://tinyurl.com/r6uqwod or emailing me at kmccure@conroeisd.net. If you didn’t have a chance to check out Conroe ISD Social Emotional Learning (SEL) components within the Parent’s Resource page, go to http://bit.ly/conroeisdparent . When you click on your student’s grade level, you will see a SEL piece.
This upcoming week’s theme is resilience. Wow! This is right on track with what we would have been doing in guidance lessons! Do you know what it means? It means the ability to recover quickly from a difficulty; to spring back into shape. Some of us naturally have strong resilience, but for others we have to work on it on a daily basis.
I know you have read me state this repeatedly, but going outside and soaking up the sunshine helps with resilience. Changing scenery changes your thought process. I have found that I am working better when I change locations in my house where I work depending on what I am working on at the moment. I actually become more productive. I can be found in the house either sitting on my bed checking emails or writing the newsletter blog, at the kitchen table working on paperwork, at the dining room for formal meetings, and for serious projects I wait until I can use the office (my husband has always worked from home so he is learning to share with the family). Who knew that each location was better for each part of my job! This has actually helped me with my resilience. Plus, I am still taking my daily walks. We had such beautiful weather that it really was uplifting. Oh, and my daughters and I found one of the lovely rocks on our walks. We also discovered that Peaches LOVES it when we open our windows. She had a different location at different times of the day as well. She was practicing her resilience.
So,. tomorrow, when you wake up and “go to school”, think of Mrs. Leblanc, Mr. Barnhardt, Collins’ students, and myself asking the question “ Collins, How did you come to school today?” Yell out your answer loud and strong, “Ready to LEARN”. If you all say it loud enough,we can hear you! Miss you and take care!
Collins - make it a great day! - Mrs. McCure

A Message From Mr. Daw, Knox Principal
Future Knox Knight Parents,
I hope you are having a good day. This email is specifically for parents/guardians of students interested in trying out for either Color Guard or Gingham Girls during the 2020-2021 school year. With all the pandemic uncertainty, there is no way to know at this time when either tryout process will occur. These are very important programs to our students and the plan is to have tryouts for both organizations at the appropriate time, whenever that is.
With the current situation not allowing clinics/tryouts to occur, we need a list of students who are interested in potentially being in Color Guard or Gingham Girls.
If you would like your child to be considered for Color Guard or Gingham Girls in 2020-2021, here are steps and information to know:
Email your child's counselor on or preferably before Sunday, April 19th
The Counseling email addresses and assignments for 2020-2021are as follows:
A-F Mrs. Hollis phollis@conroeisd.net
G-N Mrs. Spencer kespencer@conroeisd.net
O-Z Mrs. Wheeler jawheeler@conroeisd.netClearly articulate via email to your child's counselor whether they are interested in trying out for Color Guard, Gingham Girls, or both.
An information session for parents/guardians/students interested in either organization will occur at an appropriate time.
We will work to formulate each child's schedule to minimize any changes regardless of when tryouts occur.
To be clear, emailing your child's counselor does not indicate your child is in either of these organizations... it simply alerts us that your child is interested in trying out, therefore allowing us to increase the chances they would not have any major changes to their schedules in the fall.
Take care and stay safe,
Joe Daw
A Message From the Knox Counselors
We want all of our families to know that even though we are having to run things a little differently, we are available to our students and families during this difficult time. Please know that we are working on a daily basis and do respond to our families within a 24 hour period.
It is that time of year where we need you to verify your child's Junior high course requests. A Course Request option is now available in Parent/Student Access under Student Plans. This is where you will find any and all changes that have been made/requested since we met with your student.
Course requests for 2020-2021 will only be found under the Course Request Tab under Student Plans.
Math Enrichment and Reading Enrichment are support courses utilized to assist students who have been identified as needing additional support in Math and/or Reading. If your student has been identified as needing these courses, these year-long courses will take the place of two semester electives.
Students have until May 1st to request any changes. Please send us all course change requests by email. If you make a course request change, please know the system updates every evening so you may not see changes in the system for 24 hours.
Again, we are here for you and happy to answer any questions that you might have.
