The full 2023-2024 academic calendar has been been approved by the CMS Board of Education.

If you have a child starting Kindergarten in the fall of 2023, you may walk your child to class for the first two weeks of school. After that time, parents will no longer be allowed to accompany their child to class.

If you live within a short radius of the school, you may be approved to walk your child to and from school. View more information on ASEP and Walkers Procedures.

View the Collinswood uniform guidelines for a complete list of approved garments along with photos of each item.

School uniforms can be purchased through a variety of retailers including Target, Old Navy, Costco, Land’s End, A Child’s Place, and others. Uniform garments can also be found at consignment and thrift stores around the Charlotte area.

You will need to visit your child’s primary healthcare provider and complete both the Required Immunizations/Vaccines form and the Physical Exams/Health Assessments form no later than August 31, 2023. Both forms must be completed and given to the school nurse.

Note: forms may be given to the school nurse as early as May 2023 as long as the provider visit was after 8/24/23 and is the 5-year-old Well Child Check.

Please do not wait to schedule an appointment with your child’s physician. Many healthcare providers will have full schedules the week before school begins.

For more information, email the school nurse, or call 980-343-5820.

If your child’s Chronic Illness (examples: Asthma, Diabetes, Severe Allergy) will be managed at school, there are 2-3 CMS forms that need to be filled out and signed by the doctor and the parent. These are located on the CMS website, under Health Related Forms. Please call the School Nurse at 980-343-5820 to ensure you are bringing the correct paperwork to the doctor.

Please note: we cannot give any medications, including emergency medications, if this paperwork is not correctly completed and turned in to the School Nurse. Medications include all over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, cough syrups, ointments etc. All medications must be in their original containers with appropriate CMS forms.

Over the summer, we’ll post a full list of volunteer opportunies at Collinswood. To volunteer, you’ll first need to register with CMS at cmsvolunteers.com. More information can be found on the volunteer page of the CMS website.
