Middle School Pathways
24/25 School Year
As discussed during our Middle Showcase in March, we are excited to announce the upcoming opportunities for students to choose pathways as part of our efforts to enhance career and college readiness. We believe that offering pathways will provide students with focused learning experiences that align with their interests and aspirations.
To help families understand the pathway selection process and explore the pathways offered at Collins Middle School, we will be hosting drop-in information sessions. These sessions will be held remotely on:
Date: June 5th Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Date: June 6th Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
During these sessions, you will have the chance to learn more about the pathway selection process and the various pathways available at CMS. We encourage all families to join us and participate in these informative sessions.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you there and working together to support our students' academic and career goals.
