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. 
*NEW INFO* COPPELL CARES - WEEKEND BACKPACK PROGRAM 
Coppell Cares will provide the Weekend Backpack Program (WBPK) again this school year. Families may sign up for this program at any time during the school year. Siblings living in the same household, are also eligible to participate. If your family would benefit from a weekly Friday snack bag delivery, please complete the following form to sign up:

WBPK deliveries will begin Friday, 9/8/2022. Deliveries will be suspended for Thanksgiving Week, Winter Break, and Spring Break. If you have any questions, please reach out to TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.

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.
