Thank you,

The "Zoo Crew Truck" will be at our 30 Year Celebration Picnic. In addition to the evening event, they will also stop by our school earlier in the day for any children with online orders. They will get a chance to make their animal and avoid any lines at the picnic. Order forms were sent home with learners this week.

We are excited to have so many of our learners that have been out sick back at school. We'd love to meet our campus attendance goal of 97%, and we will keep you all updated weekly on our progress. As a reminder, if your child is sick, we want them to stay home and rest. Our district attendance policy states, "Students must be free of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school.” Otherwise, we'd love to have them at school in order to maximize their instructional time with teachers and make the most of their school days. If your child does need to miss school due to being sick, please reach out to your child's teacher to find out what work they need to make up.

Registration is now open for Coppell ISD Education Foundation's 13th Annual Run to Fund benefitting Coppell ISD. Join us at Andy Brown East for a morning of community, fitness, and financial support of Coppell ISD. Early Bird Registration is open!

If you are interested in learning more about or joining our Dads and Dudes Club, we'd love to have you. Please email Nick Walther at dadsclub@towncenterpto.org for more information, and if you would like to sign up to help with one of our monthly morning car loop greeting days, you can sign up below.

Town Center's Family Social Emotional Literacy Library

Town Center has an exciting resource for families! We now have an entire resource library focused on Social and Emotional skill development. Themes are divided into 5 categories: Understanding Myself, Managing Myself, Respecting Others, Building Relationships, and Making Decisions.

View the titles here: TCE's Family Literacy Library Titles. Then, select the topic that interests you and complete this form to Request a Family Book Bag. Corresponding conversation starters to help facilitate discussions at home will also be included in the book bag. Books and discussion questions may be kept for two weeks and then returned to Kelly Matlock, TCE's counselor. Please email kmatlock@coppellisd.com with any questions.

In order to qualify for Free & Reduced Meals, families are required to complete an application each year to determine their eligibility. CISD is encouraging our eligible families to complete an application online at www.nlappscloud.com.

Parents, guardians or students can add funds to their accounts in person at the school cafeteria via cash or check, or for a small fee, they can use the "My School Bucks" app to deposit funds with a debit or credit card. Visit www.coppellisd.com/childnutrition for more information about school breakfasts and lunches or to create or add funds to your child’s school lunch account.

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone completes one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dads and Dudes Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in.
