Dear families and friends,

Today was the final day of our first semester and the brink of the holidays, which is always a special time for all. We were treated to carolers throughout the week in the hallways and offices, including a special visit from our 7th and 1st grade Book Buddies. Today, our students were full of energy, enjoying time with friends and teachers, concluding our half day with holiday parties. This semester, we have seen firsthand what the power of giving can do for our school with the Sustain Campaign's construction. We appreciate every member of our community who has given to our Sustain Campaign and our Annual Fund and given of their time here at school. Your gifts have a direct and real impact on our school's children.

To celebrate, the Ribbon Cutting event for our front entry, security system, and new HVAC system will be our first day of school in 2024. Please plan to join us on Januar 4 at 8:30 AM as we open our main entry's new doors for the first time. 

Thank you for a great first semester, and best wishes for a happy holiday season. 

Best, 

Lyn Rantz, EdD

Head of School

Front Entry Ribbon Cutting



We are thrilled about the opening of our new front entry! Upon our return on Thursday, January 4, all students, faculty, and staff will need to enter through the Eagle Foyer and gather in the Gym, as the new front entry will be closed prior to the ribbon cutting. Teachers and students will return to the classrooms following the event.

We look forward to seeing our Topeka Collegiate families and friends on this historic occasion.

School Snack Availability

Due to staffing changes with our Collegiate Kitchen partner, Bobby's Food Co., the school snack purchase option will not be available through January 2024. If your child would like to have recess snacks throughout January, please provide a snack from home.

We will keep you up to date as we work to resolve this temporary change.

Mid-year Survey

We want to know what you think! As we near the end of the first semester, we ask you to take a few minutes to complete a mid-year feedback survey. This information will help us know what we are doing well and ways to improve. As always, this survey is anonymous, and if you would rather discuss something in person, please let us know. 

The survey will remain open until December 18.
