Friday, September 4th, 2020

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. We hope this communication will be helpful for you and your family. 


Curriculum Night

Please click here to view the Curriculum Night presentation.

Please click here to watch the recording of our Curriculum Night Live Zoom.

Both of these links are also in Schoology within any of the subjects' "Course Information" folder.

Based off of questions that we received on Curriculum Night, we've created a "Curriculum Night Frequently Asked Questions" Google Doc. Please click here to view it. As always you may direct any other questions that were not answered there to your homeroom teacher!





Principal Blog
Our Principal, Ms. Martin, has a Principal blog. We recommend reading this blog each time it's emailed as it is full of important information. 



District Return to School Site
Coppell ISD continues to update their Return to School site. We recommend checking this site periodically for updates as well. 





September 7th 
Labor Day Holiday - No School

September 8th
First face to face learning day for families that selected that option via the CISD Commitment Form. Please have your face to face learner bring their iPad, charger, water bottle, and all school supplies they purchased back to school with them. 




Please reference the Scope & Sequence in the Course Information folder in each subject course for the upcoming content schedules. 



Each course has its own Scope and Sequence. Each document is organized by weeks and includes the learning objectives/skills for the week. 





Schoology Calendar & Zoom Links
All Zoom links and times will be stored in the calendar feature of Schoology. 
(See image below).



Checking Submissions, Scores, & Teacher Feedback

Want to know if your child has submitted all of their assignments for this week? Watch this video to learn about how to check submissions, scores/grades, and read teacher feedback. We know that it is really important for the kids to receive feedback from us, and we want to be sure they know where to find it. 





Signing Into Zoom 
Please see the following message from Coppell ISD: 

Starting Monday, Aug. 31, CISD will be requiring all learners to sign into Zoom using their CISD email address. This change will allow for better classroom management and will limit disruptions in the event the meeting link is shared to people outside of the district.

If your child is using a Zoom account not associated with their CISD email address, the next time they sign in, they will need to use their CISD login information — g.coppellisd.com or newtech.coppellisd.com —  to join the meeting. We have created documentation for signing into Zoom with their CISD login information, which can be found here: https://coppellisdhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053328653.

If your learner is already using their CISD email address to sign into Zoom, they will need to consolidate their account to be managed by the district. We have created documentation for consolidating the Zoom account, which can be found here: https://coppellisdhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052551674.

 


We have loved starting our day with live class meetings each day. We thought we'd highlight a few of the lessons we've had. 

Seven Habits of Happy Kids
We have started teaching our kids about the seven habits of happy kids, starting with the first habit: Be proactive. In these discussions, we've talked about "choosing our weather" and taking initiative. Ask your son/daughter what it means to "choose their weather." 

Circle of Control 
We also talked about our circle of control. We talked about things we can and can't control and how understanding this can help us to choose our weather and make the best of the day. 



Class Creeds
Finally, we want you to know that each class worked together to write a class creed last week. We are so impressed with the amazing ideas the kids shared about their vision and hope for their class.
