Opt-in Notice for Health Education for K-5 Student

Passed during the 87th (2nd) Legislative Session, Senate Bill 9, requires schools beginning in the 2022-2023 school year to educate students on the prevention of child abuse, family violence, dating violence and human trafficking.  House Bill 1525 does the same for human sexuality.

Before a student may be provided with instruction related to child abuse, family violence, dating violence and human trafficking, Senate Bill 9 requires that Coppell ISD obtain written consent from the student's parent/guardian. House Bill 1525 requires the same concerning human sexuality.

At the elementary level, Coppell’s Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) approved the Quaver Health curriculum.  It is a digitally based teacher-led resource and meets 100% of the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) for Health.  QuaverEd is providing the following links and lessons in accordance with Texas Education Code 28.004 and pertaining to Senate Bill 9, House Bill 1525. Providing the links and lessons below is not intended to grant permission for the following content to be shared in part or in full in the public domain.

PARENT PREVIEW LINKS - English

You are asked to fill out the form below for each child in grades K-5 you have attending a Coppell ISD School.  Please complete the form by Friday, March 24th*.

***It's not too late to complete the form***

OPT-IN CONSENT FORM - English

Without written consent from a parent/guardian, students will not receive instruction related to child abuse, family violence, dating violence, human trafficking, and human sexuality.


If you have any questions, please reach out to our campus counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.



Reminder: Free & Reduced Meals 
For the last two years, free and reduced meals were provided for all Texas public school children.  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. 

Reminder: 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). 

Reminder: 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!
