We want your input!!
We have appreciated the great support with family surveys over the years at Collins. Your voice matters to us! We weren’t able to do a survey at fall conferences this year like we usually do, but the survey is ready now. Even if you have completed the survey for another school in the district, it would mean a lot to us if you could still complete one for Collins. Thankfully, it is quicker than last year’s district survey. 😊

Notes from the Nurse!
PANTS & UNDER GARMENTS DONATIONS-The health room has clothing items for emergencies. We are currently low or completely out of pants and under garments and are accepting clean & gently used pants and brand new under garments. Sizes needed: 4-16.
WIDESPREAD ILLNESS-A significant increase in circulating respiratory viruses has deeply affected our communities. Please continue to practice and teach proper handwashing and respiratory etiquette (i.e. covering a cough/sneeze), get vaccinated, stay home when sick, and seek evaluation/testing.

Sexual Health Education Opportunity for Grades 4 and 5 families
WA PREP for Healthy Youth knows that strong parent/caregiver engagement is a key component of young people’s health, safety, and well-being. This is true in every area of their lives, including Comprehensive Sexual Health Education (CSHE) implementation. WA PREP is recruiting parents/caregivers and young people to review eLearning micro-modules. All pilot participants will be paid for their time. These modules will focus on engaging, age-appropriate content and supports to guide conversations with young people around CSHE-related topics.
This work will take place virtually in mid-September. If you are interested in this opportunity or have questions about the process, please email WA PREP director Christine Hagstrom, at chagstrom@cardeaservices.org.
IMPORTANT SCHOOL REMINDERS
SCHEDULE CHANGES - The end of the day at Collins is very hectic. If you forgot to send a note in the morning (which is preferred) and need to call the school with a change to your child’s schedule, please do so before 3:30 p.m. After 3:30 the office is busy assisting students and parents and will not be able to answer your call or get a message to a student before they leave for the day. All end-of-day schedule changes must be made through the office, not with the classroom teacher. Thank you!
EARLY PARENT PICK-UP If you need to pick your student up early, we ask that students be picked up no later than 3:45 due to our end of the day congestion. To preserve precious class time, we do not call students to the office until you have checked them out in person (remember your ID).
UPDATE CONTACT INFORMATION - If any of your information has changed (address, contact info., email address, etc.) please contact the office right away. This year more than ever, it will be important to have the most current information. Also, let us know what your preferred method of contact is - phone, email, text. You can reach the office at 253.298.3400.
