Student Coupons: January Cozy Day 

This year we gave the students a digital coupon book with a coupon for each month of the rest of the year. The students can redeem their January Coupon on Thursday, January 19th. 

Reminder: 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. 

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!

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. 

We hope you'll be able to join us at our Sky Ranch Parent Meeting this month. Information about the meeting is above. 

Our 1st two Sky Ranch Payment of $50 each were due last semester. It's not too late to pay it if you haven't yet. Our next payment of $50 is due Friday, February 3rd. 

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

Ms. Martin, our principal, sends out a weekly parent newsletter. Please make sure you read this every week. 

As we start the second semester, we will start to have some announcements to share regarding Middle School. (You'll see a parent meeting in the Important Dates section.) We'll have more information for you as we get closer to the spring including information about which of the three CISD Middle Schools your child will attend.
