Our fifth grade Sky Ranch field trip has been tentatively booked for April 27-29, 2022.
Sky Ranch Camp is located in Van, Texas. Our fifth-grade learners, educators, and chaperones travel there in the spring for three days/two nights for an educational experience that supports our fifth-grade science TEKS. During the trip, the kids participate in outdoor education classes, team building activities, and night activities such as a campfire. It's a fan favorite every year!
**The Health History form was left out of the packet accidentally. It was sent home with students on Thursday, January 20th. It will also need to be completed as part of the required paperwork that's due April 1st. Feel free to turn in completed paperwork any time before 4/1.
The first payment of $100 was due February 4, 2022.
Please make sure this first payment was submitted and if you need help financially, please reach out to Mrs. Heingartner our Assistant Principal at kheingartner@coppellisd.com
Second and final payment of $100 will be due Friday, March 11, 2022.

5th Graders & Smart Watches
We have noticed that more and more of our students have been wearing smart watches to school, so we want to take a minute to be clear about expectations for those devices.
Students may wear their smart watches to school, but they may not use them to text, email, or call anyone during the day. (The same rule applies for their iPads.) This includes parents. Please help us in reinforcing this expectation. If you need to get in touch with your son/daughter during the day, please email your child's teacher or call the front office.
We have talked about these expectations with the students. We've let them know that if they are using their smart watch to communicate, they will receive one warning. After that one warning, they will lose the privilege of wearing their smart watches during the day and will have to keep them in their backpacks.
Thank you for your support!
A Note From Ms. Matlock
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In February your child’s Professional School Counselor will meet with all students about the topic of personal safety. Coppell ISD uses Play It Safe. Play It Safe is a research-based, age-appropriate abuse prevention program.
The purpose of this personal safety presentation is to provide all children with information and practical skills to protect themselves by recognizing, reacting to, and reporting potentially dangerous situations. Topics that will be addressed vary at each grade level as they consider the child’s age and maturity level.
Our Professional School Counselors are the presenters and will visit with each classroom, K-5, for approximately 30-45 minutes. Stories, puppets, group discussions, and videos are used in the low-key, age-appropriate presentation.
You can obtain more information about the Play it Safe program at the following link: https://playitsafe.org/index.php. Also, feel free to contact your child’s Professional School Counselor if you have any questions.
If you DO NOT want your child to view the Play It Safe Program, please email your campus' Professional School Counselor by Friday, February 4th. Your child’s teacher will make sure that your child goes to an alternate learning environment during the Play It Safe presentation.
If you would like your child to participate in this valuable learning opportunity no further action is needed.
Sincerely,
Anne Lehew, M.Ed., PSC
Coordinator of Counseling and Social Emotional Learning
TCE's counselor is Kelly Matlock. She can be reached at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.
Valentines Party
Our 5th Grade Valentine’s Day party will be on Monday, February 14th at 2:00 in the cafeteria. We will exchange Valentine’s before our party. Your child may make or bring Valentines cards for each person in the class. The names of the students in our class are listed on the back. In addition, students may decorate and bring their own bag or box from home to hold their valentines. They may decorate it however they would like! Please be sure that their box/bag will fit inside their cubby. We can’t wait to see how creative they get! In addition, if your child chooses to pass out Valentines, please send them to school with a bag/box to hold the Valentines they’ll pass out in addition to the one they’ll use as a mailbox.
