Announcements
Please make note of the following STAAR testing dates:
PLEASE NOTE: Since all library books will be due before the STAAR dates they will not be allowed to check out books to have during the test. Please make sure to send 2-3 books that your child can read once they have completed the test. Once they finish they will need to stay seated and quiet while the others work on their test.
Optional Parent Conference
As we enter the last nine weeks, I want to be sure you know that we're here if you have any questions or if you would like to touch base about your son/daughter's progress. By now you've had a chance to view the third nine weeks report card and winter MAP assessments. If you have any questions, we would like to extend the offer to speak with your learner's teacher via phone call or Zoom. This is completely OPTIONAL
Library Information
Our fundraiser kick-off was yesterday, and we also had a chance to celebrate in the car loop this morning! If you didn't get a chance to see the Kick-Off Video on our social media yesterday, check it out by clicking here

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.
Action Item for All Parents - Returning School Enrollment
CISD is excited to welcome your child back to the district for the 2021-2022 school year and our continued partnership in the educational journey of your child. All returning families are required to enroll each year. You should have received an email from PowerSchool with a “snapcode” on April 27th. If you did not, please email input@coppellisd.com and request your code. We encourage families to fill this out as soon as possible to confirm enrollment for the next school year. This will secure your child's spot at Town Center for the coming year and help us finalize staffing needs.
What are we learning?
Math: We are bringing the heat in math this week with a review that is on fire! Using the heat maps from the math practice STAAR administration, learners will choose the 3 areas where the most growth is needed. They will spend the week reviewing those topics, and math teachers will be pulling small groups that target these skills. Things will be turned in throughout the week, and please make sure your virtual learner is checking his messages on Schoology so he can see if he’s needed in that day’s small group(s). We are on fire in 3rd grade math!
This is the last week (week 3) of Math Club! Math Club Week 2 Lunch Bunch is rescheduled to this week because of weather (so many kiddos participated we have to eat outside!)
Language Arts: With the week before STAAR we will be prepping the kids with all the tools and strategies necessary so that they feel confident going into the testing day.
Science: We will be taking a closer look at animals and their habitats. We will focus on how animals specific body parts and adaptations help them to survive in their environment.
Social Studies: In Social Studies, the learners will be presenting on their historical figure that they have been researching. Last week they created an infographic and they will use that the showcase their individual while presenting.
