April 2024 Newsletter
Message from Principal Lisa Langford
Spring brings visible signs of growth all around us. In April we are in full testing season here at Collier. All grade levels are showing everything they have learned on many different tests that we use to show how much each student has grown this year. Students in grades 3rd - 5th will take the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment and students in grades Kindergarten - 3rd grade will take the Dibels Reading Test. We know our students will do really well!
We are so thankful for all of you, our Collier Families! We appreciate each and every one of you and your choice to come to Collier!
