Dear Collins Intermediate Families,
As we wrap up an incredible school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support, partnership, and involvement. Your encouragement and engagement have played a big role in making this year a success for our students.
We’re proud of all that our students have accomplished, and we’re excited to see them continue to grow and thrive in 6th Grade and as they continue on to Knox! On behalf of our entire staff, I wish you a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall!
With gratitude,
Chelsea Harness

Advanced Math
- Incoming 5th Grade Parents: Be looking for an email from Collins this summer notifying you of your child's placement into Advanced Math if they meet qualification criteria.
- Incoming 6th Grade Parents: Conroe ISD will be notifying you if your child qualified and will be placed in Advanced Math.
- Every student who meets qualification criteria will be placed into an Advanced Math class.
- Parents/Guardians will have the option to "opt out" of Advanced Math if you decide this is not in the best interest of your child at this time.

Key Dates
Moving This Summer?
Summer Movers
If you will be leaving the district at the end of the school year, and not returning for the 2025 - 2026 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 you with 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.
Reporting Absences at Collins
The district has created an app to report student absences. Please see the information below to access the absence reporting app. You will not be able to upload files, so you will still bring any notes or documents to the front office, or email them to our registrar at nvillanueva@conroeisd.net
Parent Portal
If you haven't already signed up for the new Parent Portal, you will need to sign up before you can access the absence reporting app:
https://parents.classlink.com/conroeisd
This is also where you can check your child's grades, progress reports, and report cards. Next year, paper copies of progress reports and report cards will not be sent home, so signing up for this program is important.
Counselor's Corner
