We hope you have enjoyed the start of your three day weekend with the kids. The teachers were hard at work on Friday planning and preparing for the next 24 days. When May rolls around we may be tempted to think "all is said and done" but wait there is more.

More... grades as the progress report will be available in Parent Access Thursday, April 25, 2024. We have two more 5th STAAR tests and one more for 6th grade. We have all of our 5th grade field trips and one make up field trip for LC 6-4. There are end of the year concerts - field day - yearbooks - spirt weeks - staff appreciation.

So May promises to be busy - but of course we are Collins Cobras - so it is going to be great!!

With thanks,

Shelli LeBlanc

We want our students to be set up for success on test days! Please help your child with the following:

• Get a good night's sleep - please make sure your child gets at least 8-10 hours of sleep. Please limit phones and electronics in the bedroom!
• Eat a healthy, protein-filled breakfast.
• Wear comfortable clothes and bring a lunch (unless buying a sack lunch), water bottle, jacket, and book to read.
• Electronic devices (such as phones and smart watches) are taken up during testing so we advise leaving those at home.

We are so proud of how hard our students have worked and how much they've learned this year! Remember that these tests are just a chance for them to show off what they know, and that we only ask that they do their very best!

If you will be leaving the district at the end of the school year, and not returning for the 2024-25 school year, such as moving to another district, a private school, or being homeschooled, please contact our registrar, Nancy Villanueva at nvillanueva@conroeisd.net, or 281-298-3910.

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

If a student is going to another CISD campus, then they only need to provide Proof of Residence to the CISD campus they will be attending.

Order Your Teacher-Approved Packs by May 21st

School Supply Kits will be delivered to your child's classroom.

Please allow up to 24 hours to receive an order confirmation.

Keep your confirmation as your receipt.

Grade 5 $59.00

Grade 6 $69.00

Parents please remember NOT to send medications to school with your student. You need to bring it to the school and fill out a permission form. This is a district policy and can be found at Medications at School – Conroe ISD.

May 8 is School Nurse Day! We feel it is a privilege to care for your students at school. It’s not just band aids and ice packs. We care for children with chronic illnesses, screen for vision, hearing and scoliosis. Keep up with immunizations to keep children healthy and so much more!
