Dear Collins Intermediate Families,

We know that our students have been working incredibly hard lately, and we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your continued support at home. Your involvement plays a key role in helping them succeed, and we truly appreciate everything you do.

With Spring Break just around the corner, we hope all our families have the opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the final nine-weeks of the school year, ready to finish strong and achieve great things.

Thank you again for being such wonderful partners in your child's education. Have a restful and enjoyable break!

Julie English & Cassie Hertzenberg

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Humanitarian of the Year, Rising Star, and Friend of Collins winners!

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.
