Collingwood Weekly Update March 23 – 30, 2026
Message from Interim Principal – Rick Petrowitsch
We hope you had a nice Spring Break as we head into the “Home Stretch” of this school year. As you can see from the school calendar, there are lots of activities and field trips planned for the coming months. We would like to remind parents to go online to their PowerSchool account and pay any upcoming or outstanding fees. Any unpaid field trip fees will be absorbed by the school, with an already tight budget. Thank you for your support with the fees. If there is a concern, please contact the school office to see if we can help.
