Attendance
As we progress through the school year, please continue to remember the importance of school attendance and arriving to school on time. In addition, children who arrive late to school miss the important groundwork that is laid by teachers at the beginning of the day.
The instruction and learning that occur on a daily basis in the classroom is our central mission. Parents who make regular school attendance and punctuality a high priority are helping their children learn to accept responsibility, which is an important lesson for a successful life.
As we work to increase Collins Intermediate’s daily attendance – please continue to support your child’s educational process by limiting the amount of school missed except for illness. Collins Intermediate daily goal is 98.5%.
3rd Grading Period
Our Attendance is critically low!
It is imperative that your child is at school to receive the quality instruction that is necessary to obtain the skills needed for current and future academic success. The state of Texas uses attendance rates as part of the calculations for Academic Distinctions. If attendance continues to drop at this rate, it could potentially cause Collins to lose our Distinctions from TEA. We know illness and family emergencies are unavoidable but please try to avoid any unnecessary absences or vacations.
Hours of Missed Instruction (Early Checkout) as of February 13th = 4759 Hours
