Welcome to Collinsville Middle School and hello September! School is officially back in full swing, and fall is just around the corner! We’re excited to kick off a new month filled with fresh adventures, creative projects, and plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and make the most of each day. Here’s to a fantastic September! |
New Curriculum Pilot & Student Benchmark Results |
Our middle schoolers have done a fantastic job diving into the new school year over these past two weeks! To better support every student's unique learning journey, CMS is officially piloting Edmentum ExactPath alongside our existing NoRedInk and HMH curriculum. Why ExactPath? Universal Benchmarking: It assesses students' current skills in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.
Personalized Pathways: Based on the results, the program creates an individualized learning path tailored specifically to your child’s current needs. Targeted Support: It allows us to meet each student exactly where they are—whether they need extra support, reinforcing practice, or advanced enrichment. How to View Your Student's Results
Your child’s benchmarking results will be accessible through the parent portal under their respective ELA and Math class sections by September 4. We encourage you to log in to review their progress. Thank you for partnering with us to make this school year a success! Please feel free to reach out to your child's ELA or Math teacher if you have any questions about accessing the portal or interpreting the results. |

For this spotlight, we will be featuring a new staff member at the school!
This is Mrs. Zurawik and this is her first year with Collinsville Middle School teaching math! |
Why did you choose Collinsville Schools? I moved to Collinsville to be with my husband. I picked Collinsville Public Schools to be a part of a great community! What has been something you love about Collinsville so far? I have loved how nice, welcoming, and helpful everyone has been to me! Where did you teach before coming here?
Moore Public Schools. What do you do outside of school? I coach softball, play with my cat, and spend time with my husband. If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Somewhere that is not one million degrees in the summertime. Thank you Mrs. Zurawik! We are so happy to have you apart of the CMS team! |
