From the Principal:
Our first grading period progress reports became available to view this past Friday. To view your child's progress report please visit your Parent Access Account: https://pac.conroeisd.net/
Once logged in you will be promoted to electronically sign to then view the progress report. Only 37% of our parents have viewed the first progress report.
This same process will be used for each progress report and for the first three report cards each school year.
Parent Access is also a wonderful way to keep up with grades throughout the grading period. You can even set email reminders for when grades are entered with a selected score.
Wishing you a joyful upcoming weekend,!
Shelli LeBlanc

Mrs. Cucinotta's Updates:
I have been overwhelmed with the Collins community and how students and families have welcomed me. It is a joy and honor to be a part of your child’s education and partner together with you in your child’s educational journey.
My goal is to be present for students and their families as they navigate through adolescence and provide support for all students.
This video was recently shared with me by a dear friend and reminded me of some of the student issues arising on campus. The novelty of entering a new grade with different teachers is starting to wear off as students are getting to know their peers. This is powerful stuff! Please take two minutes to watch this with your Collins student and discuss the power of words as a family. Kindness Experiment

We want to celebrate the heritage and culture of our students at Collins! When we share our story, we develop empathy and understanding for each other, and create a positive school culture. Throughout the year, there are opportunities to share through our KCOL video announcements. Typically, KCOL Crew members create slideshows, videos, and graphics to share during announcements. If your family/student would like to share a special aspect of your heritage/culture, please complete the form: http://tiny.conroeisd.net/a9utG and you will be contacted so that we can share a part of your family’s culture and heritage!
