Collingswood Public Schools

Dear Collingswood Community,

I hope you and your family are well as we begin another exciting new school year! This message includes an important update regarding the format of Back-to-School Night this year.

Due to ongoing contract negotiations with our education association, we expect light attendance by teachers who are not required to attend school events outside of their defined work day. Therefore, we will shift to a group session for all parents. During this time, principals will provide you with key information about school programs, expectations, and resources for your student’s success this year.

As a parent, I understand the value of personal interaction with teachers. While this event will be in a group format, we encourage you to attend, and feel free to follow up with your student’s teacher directly via email if you have specific questions or concerns. Our staff remains committed to ensuring your student has a smooth transition to school this year.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Together, we will continue to provide a positive and enriching educational experience for all of our students.

The Back-to-School Night schedule is as follows:

Sincerely,

Fred McDowell, Ed.D.

Superintendent
