May 22 - 25
Dear Parents/Guardians,
On May 22-25 from 8:35-1:30 Collegiate Academy will hold a TSI Intersession. This valuable time will be used to prepare your student to take the English/Math TSIA test if they have not yet passed both the TSI English and TSI Math tests. It will also give your student the opportunity to take and pass the TSIA English/Math test at least once during the week. As a reminder, students must pass both the TSIA English test and the TSIA Math test in order to take the specific college courses that are required to earn an Associate's Degree. We are requiring rising seniors, juniors and sophomore students who have not yet passed both TSI tests to attend the intersession. Lunch and bus transportation will be provided. Students who have not passed both TSI tests have been sent a form in an email from Mrs. Haney so that they can indicate their transportation and lunch needs. During intersession students will need to bring their laptop, charger, and a pencil.
If you have any questions about our upcoming intersession, please contact Kristinia Haney at kristinia.haney@gcisd.net
back to school fair
Si usted califica para la Feria de útiles de regreso a clases para el año escolar 23-24, el formulario está ya disponible en Skyward y el último día para llenar el formulario es el 22 de mayo del 2023. Si tienen dudas por favor comuniquense con Mrs. Yvonne yvonne.aguirre@gcisd.net
Dear parents and guardians,
Things to keep in mind when preparing for next school year: Enjoy your summer break!
Medication on Campus:
Below is a link to the medication permit. A new form is needed for each school year for any medications your child may require at school. You can print this copy and take it with you to your appointment with your child's physician or send it to your physician’s office to provide the school nurse with instructions. Controlled Medications, by State Law, require a Doctor and Parent signed Medication Permission Form with specific wording. Controlled Medications given at lunch time should say "To give at lunchtime." This allows for flexibility when schedules and lunch times change due to testing, field trips or other special days. Daily morning medications are given at home.
Please provide all medications in the original container and ensure they are not expired.
Students may self-carry non-expired Inhalers and Epinephrine Auto-Injector medication only with a physician and parent signed medication permit (and the self carry box checked) and turned in to the nurse, or prescription medications except the pre-approved inhaler and/or epinephrine auto-injector .
Nonprescription medication permission:
Students are allowed to self carry over the counter (OTC) medications if they have the following nonprescription medication permission form signed by the parent and student and turned into me. If you know your child will need any OTC medication including Benadryl, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Tums, Lactaid, etc. you may fill out this form and provide it to me at the beginning of the school year. This is a parent driven form and only for high school students.
Please read the nonprescription medication form carefully and follow all instructions. Any prescription medications, controlled drugs like ADD/ADHD medications MUST be kept in the nurse’s office with the appropriate medication permit with the exception of pre-approved self carry inhalers and/or EPI PENS.
Use this form for any prescription medications including self-carry inhalers and EPI PENs that your child may need during the school day. These medications require a physician and parent signature on the medication permit. Please know that I do not keep stock medications.
Please send me any updated Meningitis vaccines that are given during the summer when school begins. I will update Skyward and send TCC a copy of the vaccine since they require it every 5 years. The booster can not be given until your student turns 16 years of age.
Please contact me if you have any questions. My phone number is 817-515-6786. My email address is toni.bourgeois@gcisd.net
