The Art of Math
Collins Gym 5:30-7:00
Come experience the beauty of math at Collins! Go on a gallery walk to see students’ art pieces. Play a variety of games. Let your students show off what they’ve learned in math. Pizza will be for sale, and we will have a free snack. A continuous shuttle will run from Historic Collins. See you there!
First Grade Round-Up
The theme of our concert is cowboy and western songs. We’re calling it “The 1st Grade Round-Up.” Mr. Gaulke would like our 1st grade students to be dressed in western gear – blue jeans, checkered shirts, boots, western-type dresses/skirts, etc. Mr. Gaulke will provide matching straw cowboy hats and bandanas. Our program should be short and sweet, maybe 5 or 6 songs, about 30 minutes for the whole program.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
PTA would like to host a Spring Carnival & Market on Saturday, May 6th but we need volunteers. We would need volunteers to help run the game booths and prizes. We cannot start the planning until we for sure have the volunteers, so please considered helping the PTA make this event happen! Please email us at collinsptacoyotes@gmail.com to let us know you will volunteer. Please only email us if you are able to help on May 6th, as we need an accurate number of volunteers to determine the amount of games at the Spring Carnival.
Lost and Found
We have an abundance of clothing in our Lost and Found! Please be sure to ask your child to check the lost and found if they are missing any coats. Any items not picked up before we leave for Spring Break will be donated.
**Please remember that it is always much easier to return coats to children when their name (first and last) is clearly printed on the inside**

These students were chosen to have Pizza with the Principal for showing amazing effort! Congratulations:

2023-2024 Enrollment
We are preparing for the 2023-24 school year already! Enrollment for new kindergarten through grade 5 students who live within our attendance boundaries opens March 13th. A child must be five years of age on or before August 31, 2023 to be eligible to enroll. Please prepare to register by obtaining medically verified immunization records, birth certificate, and a proof of residence (utility bill, lease/rental agreement, or mortgage papers). All enrollment is done online. Click here to access the enrollment application or go to fpschools.org and click on enrollment.
- We are moving to a new online system. Enrollment will end in our current system on June 11th and will reopen on July 17th in the new system. Please make sure to complete your child's enrollment application by June 11th or wait to start it after July 17th.
Current students who live within Collins boundaries are automatically enrolled at Collins for next year. Students who were overloaded to Collins for the 22-23 school year will return to their home schools for 2023-24. Students living within our district but outside of Collins boundaries who want to attend Collins must complete a within-district transfer form online. Click on the Transfers and Homeschool link to access the correct form. Out-of-district students who wish to attend Collins must complete a new out-of-district transfer (Choice Transfer) from their home district to be considered for enrollment.

Calling all volunteers...
If you are interested in volunteering as a chaperone for field trips or in any other capacity that may come up, please complete the volunteer application as soon as possible. It may take up to two weeks to process an application and we don't want you to be left out of a volunteer opportunity because you are not approved yet! Click here to begin your volunteer application. If you were cleared as a volunteer last year, please complete a new application. Volunteer applications must be completed every year.
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.
