PTO Board Positions Available

Please see the note below from Heather Thurgood:

Parents,

My name is Heather Thurgood, and I am the PTO President-elect for the next school year. You may not be aware, but it takes many volunteers to help run the PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization). We could really use more volunteers as we have a lot of open PTO Board positions. Some positions require hands-on work at the school, but some just need emails sent and can be done from work or home in the evenings.

Some of the openings include: Field Day Coordinator, Yearbook, Teacher Appreciation Week, Spirit Wear Coordinator, Fundraising, Write-A-Check Coordinator, Kindergarten Roundup, and Lead Volunteer Coordinator. If you aren't comfortable or able to lead one of these positions, you can be on the committee and help.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss filling a board position. Our PTO is an important part in the success of our schools. We need your help.

Thanks,

Heather

Roll Up and Read

Blanket and Pillow on Monday!

We are so close to the STAAR! To ease any stress, we are taking an easy stress-relief day on Monday. In reading, we are going to do "roll-up and read"! Your child is welcome to bring a blanket, pillow, and flashlight. We will be turning off the lights, getting cozy, and spending some time reading books we enjoy! 🙂

Field Day Info

We are so excited about our upcoming Field Day on Monday, May 23rd! We know it has been a while since our last Field Day so I wanted to address some FAQs!

What is Field Day?! It is a day spent for our learners to travel to different stations throughout the day that include bounce houses, a water slide, sponge relay races, frozen treats and MORE! One of the stations is walking to the Coppell City CORE (Coppell City’s Pool) to go swimming! The CORE will have staff on hand and also has life jackets available for swimmers. If your learner is not a strong swimmer and requires a life jacket, please reach out to your homeroom teacher and we will make sure to have that available.

What will your kiddo need to wear on Field Day, May 23rd? Please have them wear a swimsuit (girls under their clothes and boys wear swimsuit bottoms) and their grade level t-shirt and flip flops/crocs or shoes that can get wet! We will have lots of WATER activities!

What do kids need to bring to field day? Please bring a water bottle as it will probably be warm! Students will also need a towel with their initials on it! Our amazing Room Parents that will be walking our classes from station to station will keep track of the towels and lunches.

What about lunch? Please pack a sack lunch for your student! We will be eating picnic style outside the school. The cafeteria will offer sack lunches that day so if you would like one for your child be sure to sign them up when the signup is sent out closer to the 23rd.

Anything else we need? Learners will be outside most of the day so please apply sunscreen on your child before school and send additional if needed! We also ask that you send a dry change of clothes they can change into when they return to school. If you can pack this in a small or cinch backpack, that would be great!

Also, we have volunteer opportunities!! I wanted to personally reach out to all our parents and let you know we will need your help if you’re available! We are looking for volunteers to help run games and activities for the different groups throughout the day.

Please use the Sign-Up Genius to sign up for a time slot. As we get closer we will be reaching out with your specific station and instructions!

I am so excited for an amazing day for our learners to wrap up this year!

Thanks from your TCE Field Day Coordinators!
