From The Principal

Collins’ Families,

With our students coming back in person, I would like to enlist in your assistance with speaking to your children about proper mask wearing (fitted masks worn above the nose), frequent hand washing, and socially distancing when possible. Our staff is partnering with you on frequently educating our students here at school as well. Please remember to wear your masks when bringing and picking up your children as well.

Best Regards,

Jena Lenz

Collins’ Principal

Our Mission

With the support of the community, the mission of Bruce Collins Elementary is to foster a caring and enriching environment that enables all students to grow academically and socially to reach their individual potential as they become lifelong learners.

MSTEP and MIAccess

This Spring our students in grades 3rd- 6th will be taking part in MSTEP & MIAccess Michigan State Assessments. Specific information and testing dates will be coming home from individual grade levels. It is very important that students will be in school on these days. Please make

every effort to have them here. Thank You!
