This Monday evening from 6:00pm to 7:30pm is our annual Open House. For those in our school community with a student currently enrolled at Colonial, this is an excellent opportunity for you to meet your student's teachers, explore the classrooms, and learn more about our programs and expectations for the year. We highly encourage your attendance as we know that strong home-school partnerships are vital to ensuring the success of our students. Open House runs for only 90 minutes, but that short time investment will yield benefits for our Grenadier parents & guardians over the rest of the entire school year. If this applies to your family, please make every effort to join us!
As a community reminder, we are trying very hard to increase our PTSA memberships this year. The membership cost is only $5.00 and it requires no personal time commitments. However, a PTSA membership suggests that you are an advocate for Colonial High School and are actively involved in your student's education. If you already have your membership, thank you. If not, please take a moment and signup today.

It's Great To Be A Grenadier!

Starting the school year off reaching for the stars!
Flight Academy Introduction to Space students (main campus) are pictured below working on building a replica of their chosen rocket. Each group had to select a historical rocket, research its impact on the exploration of space, and then build a replica of their chosen rocket. When they are completed with their builds, they will present their rocket information to the class.

Aerospace and Engineering
Students in Ms. Gentry’s Aerospace and Engineering classes completed a STEM challenge to build the tallest tower using only 50 paper cups and 50 craft sticks. The catch? They had to use ALL of the materials.

The new policy allows for parents to get a call notifying them of their child’s absence in the beginning of the day as well as the end of the day.
OCPS said each parent will know whether or not their child was in school at the beginning of the day.
High school calls will begin at 8:55 a.m., elementary school calls will begin at 10:05 a.m. and middle school calls will begin at 11:05 a.m.
The district said if your child is absent for more than half of the day, you will also receive a call in the afternoon.

FortifyFL is a mobile app that allows anyone to anonymously report suspicious activity to school officials and law enforcement agencies. The app was developed after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act was passed in 2018, with input from students at the school. Thank you for installing this app today. Please remind your child that if they should ever see or hear of something suspicious or unusual this school year, please say something to any teacher or staff member right away.
