As we are approaching the end of the school year, please read below for end of year reminders:

• Lost and Found
• Field Day
• Please note that early dismissal on the last day of school has been changed to 1:30 pm.
  

To our future Knox Knights, we are so grateful to have been a part of your lives for the past 2 years. You will grow up and experience many things that will form you into the person you are meant to be. We wish you grace and peace in the journey. As you saw with our Senior Walk this week, once a Collins Cobra, always a Collins Cobra!

To our returning students, future 6th graders, we hope you have a fabulous summer and come back strong, ready to lead our campus with kindness, responsibility, and integrity!

Parents, thank you for sharing your wonderful students with us this year! We never take for granted the privilege and blessing it is to teach our students each and every day.

We wish you and your family a safe and relaxing summer!

Shelli LeBlanc

We have an exciting end-of-year celebration planned for our kids! The field day event will be held at the YMCA, directly across from Collins, on Wednesday, May 22nd from 10:00AM-2:00PM. There will be several indoor and outdoor stations, including water activities. Please help us by reviewing the

following guidelines.

Each student needs a signed waiver from both the YMCA and Conroe ISD to participate. These will

come home with students and need to be returned by FRIDAY, MAY 17TH.

Sunscreen: Sunscreen should be applied before school. Please send sunscreen with your

student if you feel they may need to reapply though out the day. Teachers and volunteers

are not able to help apply sunscreen.

Attire: Students should wear modest swimsuits to school under regular clothing and bring a towel. All students will keep a shirt on over their swimsuits at all times. This includes while they are in the pool, during water activities and when drying off with their towels.

• GIRLS: Please wear a one-piece or tankini. A two-piece swimsuit that shows midriff, bikinis, or one piece with cut-outs should be worn with a dark t-shirt or rash guard.
• BOYS: Please wear a shorts-styled swimsuit with a rash guard or t-shirt.

*ALL STUDENTS NEED TO WEAR THEIR SWIMSUITS TO SCHOOL UNDER REGULAR CLOTHING*

Change of Clothes: Students will be allowed to change into a dry set of clothes if they wish, once they return to Collins. Be sure to send a towel and bag to hold wet clothes, if needed.

Shoes: Students will be allowed to wear flip-flops or swim shoes.

Lunch: Students need to bring their own lunch in a disposable Ziploc bag, including a drink, labeled with their LC and name. Lunches will be kept in coolers. Students will also have Jeremiah’s Ice during one of their rotations.

Water Bottles: Students need to bring their own water bottles. There will be refill stations located

throughout the YMCA.

Please remind your children to be on their best behavior. They will understandably be excited, but should remember to follow our schoolwide expectations!

6th grade Field Day will be at Collins Intermediate. We are planning to have wet and dry inflatables, music, photo booth, yard games, inflatable games, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice and more!

Our PTO is graciously purchasing pizza (2 slices each) for our students – so your student will need to bring whatever else they would like to eat for lunch and a drink.

End of the School Year Clinic Notes

All medication is to be picked up in the clinic by a parent or a designated adult at the end of the school year. Some of our students have medication at school with doses remaining. We can not send medication home with students at the end of the year. It is necessary for you to make arrangements for medication pick-up. It is recommended that emergency medications such as epinephrine and inhalers not be picked up until the last day of school. Any medication not picked up by 3:00 pm on the last day of school will be discarded. No medication can be kept at school over the summer months.

If your child has a medical condition such as food or other allergies, asthma, seizures, or diabetes and the child has a doctor appointment planned for the summer, please feel free to request or pick up a blank emergency action plan in advance from the nurse. They are also available to print from the Health Services website here.
