Good afternoon Colon High School families. As we begin Quarter 2, teachers and administration wanted to remind our families and students about backpacks. We will be closely monitoring this as we begin our new quarter. Per the student code of conduct and due to safety and security reasons, students are not allowed to carry book/gym/duffel bags or backpacks during the school day. These items are to be placed in student lockers. The only exception will be for students coming and going from athletic conditioning or physical education. Please review this with your Colon High School students. If you have any questions, please reach out to Rachel Kowalski, Superintendent of Colon Schools and Principal of Colon High School at 269-386-2239. Thank you so much for your partnership in education. GO MAGI!

September 23, 2022 Parents and Guardians of CCS Students, The health and safety of our students is our top priority. To help identify students in need of additional support services, all classroom teachers will be administering brief wellness surveys to their students at least once each semester of the 2022-2023 school year. Survey responses will be used to connect students with appropriate resources, including school health professionals (such as a school social worker or counselor), who may offer additional screening to determine specific concerns. If you have specific questions regarding the screening or the follow-up processes, please contact Elizabeth Jansen 269-432-2121 ext. 12145. If you do not want your child to participate in school wellness screenings, you may opt your child out, by contacting Colon Elementary School office or Colon Jr/Sr High School office on or before October 4th, 2022. Thank you for your support as we work together to educate and support your child. Sincerely, Rachel Kowalski, Ed.S. Superintendent
