Greetings Prep Families and Scholars,

We have reached the last week of our 1st Semester. Can you believe it? This semester really went by fast. I am so thankful to serve you as the Principal here at Collegiate Prep. I would like to thank you all so much for all of the things that you have done this first semester. Please enjoy the upcoming break and get a lot of rest.

Respectfully,

Update 12/15/2024

We are thrilled to share that our school has not only met but exceeded our goal for the Big Kahuna Fundraiser! 🎉 Your participation and dedication made this possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

Items from the Fundraiser should have been picked up on Friday December 13, 2024. If you have any issues with your order, please go bkcustomercare.com to submit your information about your issue with your order.

The incentive date has already been scheduled for January 29, 2024. This will allow time for Big Kahuna to process orders from the paper forms and determine if additional students need to be added to the current list of students.

Dear Families,

As we approach the holiday season, we are excited to announce our upcoming winter celebration parties! These events will be held on December 19, 2024 from 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM in your child’s classroom, and we would love for you to be part of the festivities by contributing to the fun. (If you have made some arrangements to set up earlier with your scholar's teacher, that is fine.)

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all students, we kindly ask for your cooperation in bringing appropriate foods. Here are some important guidelines:

1. Nut-Free Options: To protect students with allergies, please avoid bringing any foods containing peanuts or tree nuts.
2. Store-Bought Items: For safety and labeling purposes, we encourage store-bought snacks with ingredient lists clearly visible.
3. Healthy Choices: While it’s a time to celebrate, we welcome fruits, veggies, and other healthy treats alongside traditional party foods.
4. No Homemade Goods: While we appreciate your effort, homemade items cannot be served due to health and safety regulations.

If you plan to contribute, please coordinate with your child’s teacher or room parent to avoid duplicates and ensure a variety of treats.

We thank you in advance for helping make this event special for our students. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well as we prepare for the festive season! Our school is excited to announce our upcoming Winter Pep Rally, a special event designed to celebrate our students and staff

To make this event even sweeter, we are seeking candy donations from our wonderful families.

We are asking for individually wrapped candy that can be used for student treats, games, and giveaways during the pep rally. Popular items include:

• Mini chocolate bars

• Hard candies

• Gummy candies

• Lollipops

Please ensure that all donations are nut-free to accommodate students with allergies.

Candy donations can be dropped off at the front office starting Monday 12/16/2024 through 12/18/2024. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to reach out to us.

Your contributions will help make this event a fun and memorable experience for our students. Thank you for your continued support and generosity!

Warm regards,

Mr. Davis

We are excited to share that our school will be hosting the second annual in-school Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop through our PTA, bringing even more holiday cheer to our students! This beloved event provides a fantastic opportunity for students to shop for their loved ones while celebrating the spirit of giving. Not only do they get to find special gifts, but they also gain valuable lessons in earning, budgeting, and saving. We can't wait to see the joy this year's shop will bring to our school community!

The shop will be open from December 16th to December 19th, featuring over 100 delightful gifts priced between $0.50 and $12. This is a fantastic chance for your students to choose, purchase, and give meaningful gifts to their loved ones!

The end of the semester is quickly approaching. I am pleased to report that over 7,500 books have been checked out this semester. That is over 2,000 more books than this time last year. We are growing our library and our readers together!

We are collecting all library books before the winter break. This allows us to start clean in the new year. There may be fines assessed for lost library books in My Payments Plus. Please turn in any library books so we can clear up the fines as soon as possible if the books are truly lost.

If you see any library books at home, please send them back to school with your scholar or drop them by the front office and the fines can be deleted. We do not charge overdue fines, but we do charge to replace the books if they are truly lost.

We currently have 180 scholars with overdue books. Please help us get these books back so we can continue to check out books. Mrs. Salgado will be sending out overdue materials notices to scholars the week of December 16 as reminders of what books to look for and how much the fines will be if the books are truly lost.

Thanks so much for your support and please reach out with any questions!

The AVID Student Business Expo is an inspiring event designed to showcase the entrepreneurial talents, creativity, and innovation of our students. This expo provides a platform for young visionaries to present their business ideas, products, or services to the school community, fostering skills such as communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Students participating in the event take on the role of entrepreneurs, creating business concepts, designing displays, and engaging with attendees to explain their ideas. Whether they’re selling handmade crafts, promoting innovative services, or presenting solutions to real-world problems, the Business Expo highlights the ingenuity and determination of our future leaders.

This event is a celebration of student achievement and a key part of the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) mission to prepare students for success in school, career, and life. Parents, teachers, and community members are invited to attend, support, and be inspired by the creativity of our students.

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.
