Colorado ISD - Home of the Fighting Wolves

Dear Middle School Parents/Guardians (5th-8th Grade),

If you have not already done so, we kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete the Chromebook Agreement Form for your student. This form is required in order for students to use a Chromebook for the school year.

Your cooperation helps us ensure that devices are properly managed and that students are able to use them responsibly for learning.

The form can be found on our website, www.ccity.esc14.net, under "Menu" and "Colorado Middle School".

🐺TODAY 🤝MEET THE TEACHER 🐺

As summer winds down Colorado FFA members and officers seized every opportunity to get involved and learn more. Area 2 leadership camp enhanced Kymani Martinez, Kylie Egan, and Lilli Carrillo's leadership drive and motivation at Howard College in preparation for the 2025-2026 school year. Next up was State FFA Convention in Fort Worth Texas where students attended award sessions, business sessions, a concert, talent fun night, the state day of service event where we joined chapters from across the state in park cleanup activities, various workshops presented by incoming Texas State FFA Officers, various State officers from other regions like Colorado and Georgia, and a national officer. There was an exhibit hall where students got to visit with colleges from across the nation along with many business and industry folks. Those attending convention were Kymani Martinez, Kylie Egan, Danica Salazar Taylor, Marley Goldston, Lilli Carrillo, Angel Molano, Dallas Davis, and Raegan Silva. Only one had attended convention previously so they were in complete amazement with a total attendancenear 16,000 members in blue and gold jackets. This continued to add to students excitement, drive, and motivation to get involved and bring ideas back for their chapter to share with others. Many students can't wait to do record books so they can have the opportunity to walk across the stage in the next year or two. Opportunities taken, memories made, and all are ready to begin a new year with a new energized perspective. Wolf Nation Builds Leaders!

📢 Last Call to Attend Meet the Teacher!
Our secretaries will be available tomorrow for any families needing to complete registration. Students must be registered to attend Meet the Teacher on Thursday, August 7th, from 5:30–7:00 PM.
