5th Grade Service Learning Project
5th graders will be participating in a service learning project and collecting items to create winter survival kits for those experiencing homelessness. Please see the flyer below for information on the types of items that can be donated. Donation boxes will be located outside of each 5th grade classroom. All grades are welcome and encouraged to participate in donating!
Thank you so much for encouraging your kids to participate in our service learning project. We wanted to send a quick update on what we have so far in case you would like to know what we need most.
Hats - 24
Flashlights with Batteries - 9
(We also have 4 flashlights without batteries)
Gloves - 33 Pairs
Socks - 68 Pairs
Emergency Blankets - 54
Drawstring Bags - 85
Hot Hands (Warmers) - 97
Based on these numbers, our highest needs right now are flashlights with batteries and hats. Of course, we'll happily accept any of these items. We will continue collecting donations through November 30th. Thank you for helping with this project!
5th Grade Spelling Bee
Please see the attached note about our 5th Grade Spelling Bee. A paper copy of this letter went home with students earlier this week.
In addition, for more details about the Spelling Bees, you can review this presentation. This presentation is also shared with the students in Schoology.

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. Our 2nd Sky Ranch Payment was due Friday, Nov. 4.
It's not too late to pay it if you haven't yet.

Progress Reports
Any student that had an average of 74 or lower in any class will be receiving a progress report. 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.
