Friday, October 6th

 



Fall Conferences
On Friday, October 6th, we hosted in-person and Zoom conferences, if you were unable to schedule a conference please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule one in the upcoming weeks.  

Our fall fundraiser, the Town Center Color Run, will run from Oct. 2nd through Oct. 20th. This will be our biggest fundraiser of the year, funding activities and grants for Town Center this school year. See Ms. Martin's newsletter for more information on how to sign up.


Mark your calendars for October 20th from 5:30-7:00 p.m. for the run. The fundraiser will run from Monday, October 2nd through Friday October 20th, ending with the run. Our goal is to raise $20,000. Here is the 5th Grade's incentives chart.



Your learner came home with a letter that explains Sky Ranch Payment for the year. You can view the letter here. Our Sky Ranch trip will be May 8th-10th. There will be a parent meeting on Thursday, January 18, 2023 at 5:30 PM for all camp information. If you would like to pay online, you may visit this link.

Thanksgiving Basket Deliveries  
St. Ann’s Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving basket deliveries (or a pickup option at St Ann’s Church if you prefer). This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it is important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of Noon and 4PM on Sunday November 19th, 2023. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 20th, 2023.

Please completely fill out the following form by clicking this link: 2023 St. Ann's Thanksgiving Baskets. You may contact Nurse Crenshaw with any questions at kcrenshaw@coppellisd.com or 214-496-7816.


Curriculum Night Presentation 
Thank you so much to those of you that were able to come to Curriculum Night. If you weren't able to come, please take a minute to look through our presentation using this link.

During Curriculum Night, some of our wonderful parents spoke on behalf of PTO. One of the things they mentioned is the importance of visiting the PTO website: https://www.towncenterpto.org/. They also shared about the TCE Dad's Club which is looking for more members.

A Note From the Fifth Grade Teachers



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). 

Water Bottles
As you know it is very hot outside. Please help ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school each day. While learners are able to purchase a water bottle from the cafeteria, that is not an every day solution. We have multiple water bottle filling stations on campus, so learners can easily refill their bottles.

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!

Car Tags
Please do your best to keep your car tag visible when/if you come through the carline to pick up your 5th grader. It helps us get the learners into their cars quickly and efficiently. This is especially helpful when it's raining, extremely hot, or extremely cold.
