TCE Counselor Parent Newsletter

Instances of bullying have been known to occur while minors are at home using their personal devices. This is referred to as cyberbullying. Learn more about the rules and procedures you can put in place at home to help minimize the risk of cyberbullying by clicking the button below.

Coppell ISD uses STOPit, an app and web-based system, to allow students, parents, teachers and community to anonymously report cyber-bullying, threats of violence, misconduct or self-harm before they escalate into a crisis or other legal matter. Click the button below to learn more!

Town Center has an exciting resource for families! We now have an entire resource library focused on Social and Emotional skill development. Themes are divided into 5 categories: Understanding Myself, Managing Myself, Respecting Others, Building Relationships, and Making Decisions.

View the titles (below), use the link to request the titles you would like to check out (below), and then use the corresponding conversation starters (below) to facilitate discussions at home. Books and discussion questions will be sent home with learners in book bags and may be returned after 2 weeks.
