Friday, August 26th

The fifth grade teachers will update our blog each week and send it out to families as part of our communication this year. Please take time to read through the blog each week, as we will include important updates, reminders, upcoming events, pictures, and more!



Student Information Sheet & Family Photos
We would love to have every family complete the Student Information form we sent out on Monday! Please get this completed as soon as you can.

Please make sure that your child finishes their family photo collage! We have started sharing our pictures in class and would love every child to share. Your child will submit it to the Homeroom Hub on Schoology. We greatly appreciate it! 

A Note From the Fifth Grade Teachers

Free & Reduced Meals 
For the last two years, free and reduced meals were provided for all Texas public school children.  Beginning September 29th, families must complete an application to qualify for free or reduced priced meals. For more information, check out the Coppell ISD Child Nutrition website.  Complete your School Meal Application here.  Allow up to ten days to process your application. 

iPads
TCE 5th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update). 

Snack
We will have a short snack time each day while we continue to work. 5th graders do not each lunch until 1:00 PM each day, so it's important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Thank you for your help!

Parent Newsletter
Ms. Martin, our principal, sends out a weekly parent newsletter. Please make sure you read this every week. 


Curriculum Night
5th grade will have Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 1st from 5:30-6:30 PM. 5A & 5B will meet in B203 and 5C & 5D will meet in C202. During our presentation, we will share details about our curriculum, academic goals, grade level procedures, and much more! If you are unable to attend, we will be sending out our presentation on next week's blog post.  

August 31st: School Picture Day
September 1st: Curriculum Night 5:30-6:30 
September 1st-9th: Book Fair
September 5th: Labor Day Holiday - No School
September 9th: Specials Friends Day 11:30-12:30 (more information to come)
