Coppell ISD - Town Center Elementary
Picture Day: Thursday, November 5th
Picture Day ID: EVTQCH64B

Picture day is coming! The easiest way to order school pictures is online at mylifetouch@com. Please submit your order below Thursday, November 5th. 

iPad Charging
Please ensure that your child is plugging in their iPad when they get home and charging it overnight. We have had an issue with a large group of learners in each class coming to school with their iPad dead. This makes charging at the same time hard and distancing even harder. We would love your help with iPads arriving at school charged. 



HEADPHONES!
We have lots of kiddos who have lost/broken headphones. Please make sure that your child has a working pair of headphones for school. 


***IMPORTANT***

Reminder from Dr. Applegate Regarding Zoom Logins

Please ask all learners to sign into Zoom with their @g.coppellisd.com account through the SSO button.


We are needing to pull guest access to our Zoom meetings (due to safety) and learners will not be able to access your Zoom meetings. We have recently learned that logging into Zoom using the Google Button doesn’t actually transfer their account into the district enterprise account. They HAVE to go through the SSO option in order to be counted in the CISD domain. We believe this may be the reason we still have approximately 6,000 learners that have not transitioned their account.


If you see a learner with (Guest) next to their name in your Zoom participant’s list, this means that they are NOT signed into their @g.coppellisd.com account in our Coppell Zoom domain and need to add their account to our domain by signing in with SSO. When you see learners with (Guest) please share the following help documentation with each of them.




FREE Meals Through December!



What are we learning?


Math: This week in math students will learn the standard algorithm for 2x1 digit multiplication. This is the strategy we will encourage them to use here on out. At the end of the week we will introduce division and how to represent it. 

Language Arts: In reading we are going to begin discussing narrative nonfiction. We will discuss the difference between a narrative nonfiction book and an expository nonfiction book. We will discuss story elements, and also create our own summaries. In writing we will wrap up our expository essays by revising and editing.


Science: This week in science we will continue to explore forces. We will cover magnetism and gravity this week. 

Social Studies: In social studies learners are starting the new unit on Geography. We will be focussing on map skills (cardinal and intermediate directions).
