Today, District 54 joins school districts from across the nation in celebrating Digital Citizenship Week, a week designed to empower students to think critically, behave ethically and use digital devices and platforms safely. While teachers and staff help guide students to make good choices all year long, we participate in #DigCitWeek to remind students about the importance of being a good digital citizen.
Today’s reminder is Be Inclusive online! 🌐 Keep an open mind to diverse perspectives and treat everyone with kindness, respect, and empathy in all your online interactions. #BeInclusive
School is closed on October 12th. Enjoy the long weekend!
Show school spirit tomorrow by wearing blue or white! 💙🤍
Reminder - Wednesday Sept. 16
is a half day of school for our students. Half-day hours are 8:40-11:40 a.m.
Our Curriculum Night(s) will be held on two separate evenings again this year. Parents of students in grades 2nd, 4th, and 6th are invited to attend on Tuesday, August 25th. Parents of students in grades Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 5th are invited to attend on Wednesday, August 26th.
Both evenings will begin in the Collins gym at 6:00 PM with a short PTA Meeting and school presentation followed by classroom presentations.
Each teacher will give the exact same presentation two times throughout the evening to allow families with multiple children the opportunity to attend two different grade level sessions. During the classroom sessions, our teachers will be sharing valuable information about your child’s curriculum, classroom procedures, and our school wide behavioral program.
6:00 – 6:10 Welcome and PTA general meeting in the Gym
6:15 – 6:35 Session 1 - in your child’s classroom
6:45 - 7:05 Session 2 – in your child’s classroom
The second grade teachers are ready for a fantastic year!
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful ML team! They are starting strong this school year! 💙
Our first grade team has had a great start to the school year! 💙
HUGE thank you to our wonderful PTA for the yummy start to our day! 🥯💙
Our Annual Back to School Picnic and Teacher Meet & Greet event will take place on Thursday, August 13th. The picnic will take place outside from 5:00-7:00 PM. Doctor Dogs will be here should you wish to purchase food.
Our doors will be open for a quick visit and supply drop off between 4:30-6:00 PM. In order to avoid large groups in the classrooms at one time, we are asking families to attend in one of three groups when possible:
4:30 - 5:00 Students with last names A-H
5:00 – 5:30 Students with last names I - O
5:30 - 6:00 Students with last names P-Z
This is a wonderful opportunity to come meet the Collins staff, other Collins families, join PTA and much more!
