Dear Collegiate Prep Families,

We are excited to announce that Teacher Appreciation Week will take place from May 5, 2025 – May 9, 2025! This is a special time for us to recognize and celebrate the incredible work our teachers do every day to inspire, challenge, and support our students.

We invite you to join us in celebrating our amazing teaching staff! A kind note, a small token of appreciation, or simply a few words of thanks can make a big difference in showing how much they are valued. Together, let’s make this week truly special for the educators who help our scholars R.I.S.E. each and every day.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

All meetings will occur before school from 7:30 AM to 8:20 AM in the library. Breakfast donations will be accepted and cafeteria breakfast will also be made available.

We look forward to partnering with you to make this program a meaningful and enriching experience for your daughter. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [your contact information].

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing your daughter grow and glow this year!

Warm regards,

Mr.s McKinney and Mrs. Smith

Dear Collegiate Prep Families,

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, we will be celebrating National School Nurse Day! We are proud to recognize and honor Ms. Stimpson, who plays such an important role in keeping our scholars healthy, safe, and supported each and every day.

Ms. Stimpson’s care, expertise, and kindness are a vital part of our school community. We invite you to join us in showing appreciation for her dedication — a simple note, a word of thanks, or a small gesture can go a long way in making her feel special.

Let’s come together and celebrate Ms. Stimpson for all the ways she helps Collegiate Prep Elementary shine! Thank you for helping us recognize our amazing nurse!

Take a look at events curated for families and kid for Children's Mental Health Awarenss Week 2025

Children's Mental Health Awareness Week is observed from May 4 to May 10, 2025. This week aims to raise awareness about the importance of children's mental health and provide resources for parents, caregivers, and the community.

As the founder of The Aura House and Black Boys Meditate—but most importantly, as a mom—I felt deeply called to create intentional space for the youth in my community during Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week. Our kids are navigating so much, and it’s vital that they feel seen, supported, and emotionally equipped.

Dropping Off Kindergarten-2nd Grade Students

Parents or a documented designee must be at the bus stop to receive students ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd grade. If no one is there to receive the student, the student will be returned to the campus.

It is the responsibility of the parent to see that students who are returned to school are picked up. Any student returned three times will have his or her riding privileges suspended for the remainder of the school year.

Designated Stop/Changes

Students will be picked up and dropped off at the student’s designated bus stop. Only one location for pick-up and drop-off will be allowed.

Consequences for Violation of Conduct:

The school bus is an extension of the classroom and campus, and discipline will be administered by campus administrators. All school board policies that apply to student conduct and other student-related activities apply to the school bus.

1. The driver may pull the bus over and stop to safely manage student behavior.

2. If the student refuses to comply with a reasonable request, the driver will report the incident to the Assistant Director or Director upon returning to the Transportation Department.
3. The Operations Supervisor shall investigate the incident and notify the driver of the action taken.

Note: In the case of serious misconduct that endangers the safety of other students or the driver, the student(s) may be removed from the bus by any school official or law enforcement official.
