August 23, 2024
We had a great first FULL week of school! A BIG thank you to parents for being patient with our dismissal procedures. Our goal is to get your student(s) out to you as quickly and safely as possible. This week has not taken as much time as last week, so we are making progress!
Quick reminder to always bring your ID when coming onto campus in order to badge in. If you would like to volunteer you must be approved through RRISD. Please see below for link to register.

THANK YOU, PTA
Last Friday, our PTA provided Sonic drinks for our teachers. It was a refreshing treat to sum up our first week of school! Thank you to the PTA for organizing all the drinks for our CCE staff. We appreciate you!
SAFETY DRILL
Your child’s safety is a top priority for us. We conduct various safety drills throughout the school year so that all students and staff know what to do in case an emergency does happen. You probably remember fire drills from your time in school. In addition to those, we have developed plans to become better prepared to respond to a variety of other emergencies. We believe that by establishing, communicating, and then practicing the plans we will be able to manage difficult situations more effectively. We completed our first evacuation drill this week. Our students did an awesome job!
The purpose of an evacuation drill is to practice exiting the school building by all personnel in a quick, quiet, and safe manner. The signal for the drill is the sounding of the bell in a repetitive manner. Each teacher prepares for these drills by reviewing the nearest exit to his/her room with each class at the beginning of the school year, and discussing the rules for student behavior during a fire drill.
Software and Apps Permission Form-Action Required
Dear Parent(s),
Throughout the year, we will utilize online applications to enhance your child's learning and support and reinforce the concepts we teach in class. Before using these applications, we want to make you aware of federal laws and regulations that apply to the use of technology to support classrooms and require parental consent in order to be most effective.
In an effort to conserve resources, Round Rock ISD is providing families with a convenient way to review and sign the Learning Applications Permission form. If you still wish to sign a paper copy, please let your child’s teacher know.
In order for RRISD Educators to use these online tools with students, records or other information that could be personally identifiable, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that I obtain your consent due to the possible exposure of your student’s information to the website’s operator or to other participants. In order for students to use this program/service, certain personal information must be provided to the website operator. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. For more information on COPPA, please visit https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/privacy-and-security/children%27s-privacy.
This is a comprehensive list of apps for K-5, Sped and Fine Arts. Not all of these apps will be used by your student. If you would like to know which of the educational software below that your child is using in a classroom, please contact that classroom teacher.
All of these apps and software listed below have been vetted and approved by the Round Rock ISD Teaching and Learning Department, but require consent for students 13 and under. Your student will use his or her district-provided email account for this. There are additional apps or softwares that may be used that do NOT require permission for under age 13 and are not listed.
After reviewing these sites, please electronically sign and submit this form. This will serve as your permission for your student to have access to the online apps, as well as your permission for the teacher to upload your student’s information into the applications. This also gives permission for your child’s teachers to use apps that require parent permission for students 13 and under. If this form is not completed within 10 days of receipt will be considered permission for all apps/software listed.
If this form is not filled out by the first of September 1st 2024, it is assumed that permission is given.
PLEASE COMPLETE ONE FORM FOR EACH CCE STUDENT.
