468/486 Building PSSA Carnival Celebration
A PSSA Carnival? Yes! That’s what teachers in the 468/486 Building held last week for their 3rd and 4th Graders, who did tremendously well preparing for and taking this year’s PSSAs.
“PSSAs are significant events for students and can be pretty stressful,” said Mrs. High, a 3rd Grade teacher. “To do well, they must set goals, create plans, study hard, and do their best. Our 3rd and 4th Graders did a phenomenal job in all of those areas. So, we thought we’d recognize that by having a fun event!”
The students really relaxed and enjoyed all of the PSSA Carnival magic, including refreshments, face painting, raffles, a Dunk Tank (with grown-ups as dunkees!), and lots of other fun activities. Parent/guardian volunteers helped to run games, and donations from families and staff made for wonderful raffle prizes.
“It felt good to be recognized for our hard work. It was also a lot of fun to play games and have time to relax after putting forth our best effort.” -468/486 Building 3rd Grade Student
Before attending the PSSA Carnival, the 3rd and 4th Graders “earned” Carnival tickets through good study habits and behavior. The more tickets students earned (up to three a day), the more they could “spend” at the Carnival.
“We recognize that our 3rd and 4th Graders worked really hard to prepare for the rigors of the PSSAs,” said Ms. Mallory Goggins, a 468/486 Building Assistant Principal. “We’re incredibly proud of the time and energy every student put toward doing their very best on the tests. We wanted to celebrate their efforts, and what better way than through a fun carnival?”
“It was motivating to know that there would be something for us after the test. It helped me to focus and really try my best to show what I learned this year.” -468/486 Building 4th Grade Student
It’s so important for teachers and parents/guardians to recognize and applaud students for jobs well done. In this case, our 468/486 Building's 3rd and 4th Graders (and all CCS students who took the PSSAs) clearly showed that they understood the hard work and perseverance they needed to get through the rigid PSSA testing. We are thankful to all those involved with our PSSA Carnival for helping to celebrate our students' commitment and dedication.
Congratulations to everyone at CCS for successfully completing the 2019 PSSAs!

CCS Uniform Policy Change
Attention Families of Incoming 7th and 9th Grade Students
During its Thursday, May 16th, Regular Public Meeting, the CCS Board of Trustees (the Board) voted in favor of changing the CCS Uniform Policy at our Middle and High (MS/HS) Schools.
Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, students in 7th and 9th Grades will no longer be allowed to wear a hooded CCS sweatshirt. Instead, these students will be permitted to wear the new A+ Unisex Sweatshirt option in "Performance Wine" (7th Grade) or "Performance Navy" (9th Grade). The A+ Unisex Sweatshirt examples are pictured below.
This change to the CCS Uniform Policy will save families money and enhance the safety of our MS/HS Schools by allowing CCS personnel to identify students more quickly. Also, the new A+ Unisex Sweatshirt better prepares our students for the workforce by providing a more professional uniform option.
The Board’s decision is specific to all 2019-2020 7th Grade and 9th Grade students; however, all MS/HS families are advised that the hooded CCS sweatshirt will be eliminated from the CCS Uniform Policy for all MS/HS students in 2020-2021.
If you have questions or concerns about how this change will impact your Middle School child, please email Mr. Sterious. Dr. O’Brien can help families with questions or concerns related to High School children.

Education Explained: 2019-2020 Athletic Participation Guidelines
Each week, CCS employees highlight common terms and philosophies in education and explain how they impact teaching and learning at Collegium. This week's contribution comes from John Allen, our Director of Athletics & Extracurricular Activities.
The 2018-2019 season is winding down for CCS Athletics! All teams performed very well this year, thanks to our exemplary student-athletes and coaching staff.
With the end of one school year comes the beginning of a new chapter in CCS Athletics’ journey. As I announced last October, next year CCS sports teams will compete within the prestigious Bicentennial Athletic League (BAL). The BAL consists of 16 small PIAA schools in southeastern Pennsylvania. The league offers a higher level of play and more stable game scheduling for our players and families.
2019-2020 CCS-Sponsored Sports Participation Guidelines
It's also time to bring our families up-to-speed on the 2019-2020 CCS sports program participation guidelines. All students who wish to participate must submit:
- A completed Registration Form signed by their parent/guardian. Registration Forms are specific to each sport and are made available two weeks before each team's first practice.
- A PIAA Evaluation Physical Form (available at the button below) signed by their health care provider.
Guidelines for Participation in 2019-2020 Home School District-Sponsored Sports
If your child plans to participate in a sport sponsored by your home school district (and not CCS), you must contact that district's Athletic Department to make those arrangements. To be dismissed* appropriately from CCS for home district sports games, CCS must receive the following for your child:
- A note signed by the child’s parent/guardian stating that the child has permission to participate in the home school district sport.
- Confirmation from the home school district's coaches that the child is a member of the district’s team.
- A game schedule for the district-sponsored team requiring the student to leave CCS early.
The 2019-2020 season promises to be fun and exciting for all of CCS’s sports teams, intramural programs, camps, and clinics. Playing sports has huge benefits. I encourage your children to participate!
Please use the button below to contact me directly with questions about CCS Athletics programs and 2019-2020 participation guidelines.
*Students are only excused early for games, and may not leave CCS early for district-sponsored sports practices. CCS does not excuse students for district-sponsored off-season workouts.
4th Annual K-12 Bring Your Own Picnic
CCS's 4th Annual Bring Your Own Picnic (BYOP) event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 22nd* from 5:00pm until 7:00pm. This year, the event will be sponsored by the CCS Home & School Association (HSA).
The HSA has reserved the 500 Building Field for the event so that CCS families can bring everything they need for a great BYOP, including blankets, chairs, yard games, food, and drinks (nonalcoholic). The BYOP is a perfect event for families to relax, spend time together and with others in the Collegium Community, and wind down before attending additional CCS events that evening:
- CCS Middle School Spring Concert (MS families, only), 7:00pm to 9:00pm, 500 Building Gym
- 468/486 Building Scholastic Book Fair Family Night, 5:00pm to 7:00pm, 486 Building Room 520
Please add the BYOP to your family's calendar for Wednesday, May 22nd from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Our HSA Officers look forward to meeting as many members of the Collegium Community as possible at the event.
Access the HSA's Facebook page at the link below to learn more about their news and activities. More HSA information appears in the CCS HSA Updates & Events section later in this Newsletter.
*If weather doesn't permit us to use the 500 Building's Field on Wednesday, May 22nd, the 2019 BYOP will be canceled and a related message will be posted on CCS's homepage by 2:00pm that day. The 2019 BYOP will not be rescheduled.

From Our Board Of Trustees
There are two important future planning processes going on now at Collegium. They are the CCS 20/20 strategic planning project and the School Improvement Process.
CCS 20/20 is the strategic planning project the CCS Board of Trustees (the Board) is conducting with Strategy Arts, a local planning firm. The School Improvement Process began in response to CCS’s designation as a Pennsylvania school requiring additional targeted support and improvement. A lot of work continues on both initiatives, as summarized below.
CCS 20/20 Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning Meetings were held on February 7th and April 4th with a representative group of CCS administrators, Board, and staff from across the campus. The group worked through the summarized findings from the planning research which included a market scan, interviews, focus groups, and surveys. They wrestled with key strategic questions that allowed them to produce a set of strategic initiatives that will define Collegium’s identity going forward and develop the systems and processes to ensure organizational excellence.
The process will continue:
- Strategy Arts compiled the output from the two Strategic Planning Meetings into recommendations for an Action Plan. The Action Plan was presented and discussed with the full CCS Board of Trustees during their quarterly Public Work Session (Sunday, May 19th @ 1:00 PM in the 435 Building).
- The final approval of the Action Plan and the activities associated with implementing the plan will most likely occur at the Board’s June Public Meeting (Thursday, June 6th @ 6:00 PM in the 515 Building).
Once approved, the Board’s Planning Committee (a selected group of Board members charged with leading the Strategic Planning effort) will work with Strategy Arts and the administration to implement the Action Plan.
School Improvement Process
The School Improvement Process began with the formation of a School Steering Committee comprised of building-level school improvement teams, parents/guardians, and high school students.
A significant amount of work has been completed:
- A representative group from the Steering Committee took part in three training sessions at the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU); each training session outlined a specific part of the process and produced action items to be completed by the next training session.
- The Steering Committee met to review the current CCS Mission Statement and created a long-term Vision Statement that will guide the work of the Improvement Process (and may be adopted as the new CCS Vision and Mission Statement).
- The process has been guided by PA 18 Essential Practices for Schools and their Communities, which are broken down into four conditions: Focus on Continuous Improvement of Instruction, Empowering Leadership, Providing Student-Centered Supports and Fostering Quality Professional Learning.
- The Steering Committee participated in a day-long self-assessment process focused on the PA 18 Essential Practices facilitated by an educational consultant from the CCIU. The Self-Assessment produced two priority areas which will become the focus of the improvement plan.
Presently, the School Steering Committee is creating a one year plan comprised of measurable goals and action plans to be presented to the CCS Board of Trustees during their May meetings. Once approved, the plan will be shared with the CCS community and implemented during the 2019-2020 school year. We welcome your attendance at the meetings and participation in this important process.

2019-2020 Child Care And Bus Transportation Information
Will your child need transportation next school year to and/or from a day care center or babysitter within the Downingtown, West Chester, or Coatesville School Districts? Families who need alternate bus arrangements—like those for day care centers, babysitters, or bus stops other than your home—must complete a new Child Care Form each year. Current school year arrangements will not carry over to new school years.
You can find the Child Care Forms for the Downingtown, West Chester, and Coatesville Area School Districts at the buttons below. The Child Care Forms are also posted in the Resource section of our Transportation webpage linked below.
By Friday, June 14th, please complete your 2019-2020 school year Child Care Form and email it to Collegium's Transportation Department using the button provided. If your family doesn't need alternate bus transportation for the 2019-2020 school year, there's nothing that you need to do.
Note: Your local school district's transportation office will mail details about your child's 2019-2020 home bus stop. Expect that mailing about one week before school starts. This is also when CCS receives students' bus information from our transporting districts.
Questions? Email CCS's Transportation Department via the link below.
