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.


What are we learning?

Math Workshop - In Math, learners will begin to compose and decompose numbers up to 1,200 in multiple ways. Learners can listen to a number read aloud and represent that number in standard, word, and expanded forms.


Reading Workshop - Our readers will be working on strategies for reading tricky words. The phonics skill focus will continue to be reading and spelling r-controlled vowels (ar, er, and ir) and homophones (words that sound alike, but have different spellings and meanings).
Writing Workshop - In writing, learners will publish and celebrate their personal narratives. Learners will set writing goals. In grammar they will learn about Capitalizing Months and Days of the Week.
Social Studies- In Social Studies, learners will work with a partner to research a historical figure.
Science- In Science, learners will explain how the physical properties of materials can be changed through different processes (physical changes).
