A summer mover is a student that is currently enrolled with Conroe ISD but is leaving the district at the end of the school year, and not returning for the 23/24 school year. They may be going to another district within Texas, a private school, being homeschooled or going to an out of state school.

Should your student fall into the “Summer Movers” category, please contact our Registrar,

Mrs. Marney Roberts-Nield at mrobertsnield@conroeisd.net, or 281-298-3810.

Mrs. Roberts-Nield will provide the correct paperwork for you to complete, to ensure a smooth transition for your student to their new school.

This is a reminder that the application window for Off Campus Private PE for the 2023-2024 school year will close Monday, May 1. The application process is entirely electronic and there is no paper application. You can complete the application at https://apps.conroeisd.net/physedoffsite/ For questions you may email the Knox Off Campus Private PE contact, Ms. Laura Olsen, at lolsen@conroeisd.net.

School nurses are critical to all aspects of students’ health! National School Nurse Day is May 10. Celebrate #SND2023 @schoolnurses www.schoolnurseday.org.

6th grade parents:

We are sending home letters to students who still need the Tdap and Meningitis vaccines for 7th grade. Often, children receive these at their 11 year old check-up. Please ask for this letter from your child. If your child did not receive a letter, this means we already have the record for these vaccines. Knox will not give out your child’s schedule if your child is not up to date. If you receive a letter from us, and your child has gotten the vaccines, please send the record to us ASAP. If your child has not received the vaccines, please have them done and if it’s before May 25th, send the record to Collins. After May 25th, send the record to Knox.

Parents of students with medications at school:

The last day to pick up your child’s medications will be May 25th. Please come by between now and then to pick up your child’s meds. Any medications left at school will be discarded.

We are excited to have another opportunity for Tessa Stuckey to speak to our families on Monday, May 15, from 6:30-8:00 PM at Grand Oaks High School (Presentation on: For the Sake of Our Youth: Parenting in a Tech-Obsessed World).

Believe it or not,summer will be here before we know it! Now isthe time to get your student ready to attend Camp Singalier, CISD's very own summer music camp, close by at The Woodlands College Park High School. This camp has been approved by Conroe ISD, so you know it is the very best in a fun and educational camp for your child! Please view pictures of the showchoir and Camp Singalier at our website: http://cavalierchoir.com/

Sponsored by the acclaimed Rhythm-n-Blue of the College Park Choir Department, Camp Singalier is designed for grades K – 8. Using a variety of exciting activities, your child will learn to sing, dance, and perform songs. As parents, you are invited to see the results of the week's accomplishments with a spectacular performance of entertainment featuring all the camp participants in the College Park High School Auditorium, complete with professional stage lighting and sound! Rhythm-n-Blue members will lead and assist in all the awesome activities of Camp Singalier. The Rhythm-n-Blue show choir is a very select group of 11th and 12th grade students who are outstanding performers in singing and dancing. Rhythm-n-Blue performs at many civic and school events, and their repertoire spans the best of Broadway and popular hits as showcased in their concerts featured exclusively at College Park to their award-winning performances at state choral competitions such as the Madrigal Festival in San Antonio.

Please support this Conroe ISD camp, which is our ONLY fundraiser to purchase costumes and music for Rhythm-n-Blue. By attending our camp, you help us fund this valuable program as we continue to promote music and the arts, not only in Conroe ISD schools, but also in our outreach to the community.
