Fall Conferences

If you were unable to schedule a parent conference on our Friday, October 7th Conference Day, please reach out to your homeroom teacher to schedule one.

During this conference, we will go over beginning of the year data and how your child is doing so far this year. If there is anything else specific you'd like to discuss and you haven't told us yet, feel free to let us know. 

Safety Patrol Permission Slips

Your learner came home with a Safety Patrol permission slip this week. These are optional and due back to Mrs. Hruby by Tuesday, October 11th. Please contact Kristan Hruby at khruby@coppellisd.com with any questions!

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!

You can access the Sky Ranch payment letter here. This letter has information about our overnight field trip to Sky Ranch, the payment plan, and the link to pay. 

Our 1st Sky Ranch Payment of $50 was due on Thursday, Oct. 6th. It's not too late to pay it if you haven't yet.

You can access the online payment system here: https://bit.ly/SRpayment23.
