Fall Conferences

We will be offering parent teacher conferences over the next few weeks. We will offer three formats: in person, via Zoom, and via phone. Please complete this survey to let us know your preference & general availability. Next week we will send out conference sign ups based on this survey. 

Fall Color Run

The students came home with a paper flyer about the Fall Color Run Fundraiser. For this fundraiser, students will receive a free t-shirt. We need you to complete the t-shirt size form and return it to school by next Tuesday, September 27th. 

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.

Progress Reports 

Any student that had an average of 74 or lower in any class received a progress report last Friday. This would have been emailed from the teacher. If you did not receive a progress report, then your child's average is above a 74. As a reminder, you can access your child's grades in Home Access Center.  

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 will be
