Thanksgiving Basket
Dear Parents/Guardians,
St. Ann's Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving basket deliveries (or a pickup option at St Ann's Church if you prefer). This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it is critically important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of Noon and 4PM on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 22nd, 2024.
Please fill out this form with all information requested. Please contact Nurse Crenshaw if you have any questions. kcrenshaw@coppellisd.com
Coppell Cares
Coppell Cares offers the Weekend Backpack Program for families who have financial need. Each Friday, learners receive a bag of snacks for the weekend. The goal of the program is to help eliminate food insecurity for children. They provide nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack items to eligible CISD children (and siblings). This weekly food program helps feed children over the weekend during the school year when they are not receiving meals at school.
If you would like your child(ren) to participate in this program, please complete the online application below. If you would prefer a paper copy to be sent home with your child, please email TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock at kmatlock@coppellisd.com. Families may sign up for this program at any time during the school year. Deliveries will begin Friday, September 6th. Deliveries will be suspended for Thanksgiving week, Winter Break, and Spring Break.
Math Workshop - In math workshop, learners will determine a number that is 10 or 100 more or less than a given number using base 10 blocks and an open number line with numbers up to 1,200. Learners will continue to compose/decompose and represent numbers to 1,200 in standard, word, and expanded forms.
Reading Workshop - Our super readers will be exploring the different types of syllables and how to use them to read tricky words. They will also practice spelling some of their 2nd grade high frequency words.
