Greetings from Dr. Julie English and Mrs. Cassie Hertzenberg, Interim Principals for Collins Intermediate

We are so excited to join the amazing staff at Collins Intermediate. We will be sharing the responsibility as principal for the spring semester. For the most part, we will be alternating weeks on campus. Both of us retired from our positions in May, 2024 and are now working for the district to substitute and support campuses where needed.

We have enjoyed getting to know the students and staff at Collins. This is a wonderful school and community. We feel very blessed to have the opportunity to spend the next few months here.

Please know that while we will be alternating weeks, we will be in communication throughout each week in order for each of us to be informed of the day to day happenings on campus.

You can reach us through email at:

Please remember that your student needs to have a SMART Tag on their backpack to ride the bus every day. If your student has lost their bus tag, they need to request a replacement by clicking the link below.

This morning, our Cobras honored Mrs. Leblanc on her last day with a surprise concert to celebrate her on her retirement! We have so many talented students and we wanted to share their performances. Thank you Mrs. Leblanc for all you have done at Collins!

We still have a very full lost and found! If you see any of your child’s belongings, please remind them to pick it up from the stage during lunch. As we have colder weather, please remember to label your child’s jackets and all belongings so they can easily be returned to their rightful owners when misplaced!

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

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. This is also where you can check your child's grades, progress reports, and report cards.

Mrs. Massey is excited to announce a new club she is offering in the spring: Story Time in the Library! If you are interested in joining, you can apply here.

Students are exploring how to use a variety of tools, practicing different techniques for working with clay, mapping out their designs in an orthographic drawing and beginning their final clay project.
