Town Center Parent Newsletter

Next Friday, November 20th, JC's Burger Bar in Coppell is donating 20% of their full-day sales from Town Center families and friends to our school. Whether you dine in or pick up (including curbside pick-up), as long as you mention that you are there supporting Town Center, your purchase will qualify. So, whether it is lunch, dinner, or a snack in between, we hope you can join us in supporting Town Center and great food!

Our third nine weeks commitment form process will begin on Monday, November 30. Parents and guardians will receive an email from the district on November 30. You only fill out the form if you are changing your current (second nine-week grading period) learning mode. The deadline for this form is December 9 at 11:59 p.m. The third grading period begins on January 6, 2021. Please note CISD continues to remain committed to providing our families with the choice of in-person and remote learning for their children.

CISD has designated Friday, December 11, as an early dismissal day to allow our educators and staff to have additional planning time to meet the needs of our students. Elementary schools will release at 12:30 p.m. Please make pick-up arrangements for your child.

Our 2020-2021 Town Center Yearbook is now available for purchase. The cost is $25, and they will arrive in the spring. Click here to place your order. **Please note that the yearbook cost Is NOT INCLUDED in the TCE Trail Pass.

Kindergarten and First Grade will be working with the Coppell Lions Club ​to coordinate a food and toy drive at Town Center. This will help to provide food and toys for more than 100 Coppell families during the holidays. ​We'd love for our learners in grades K-5 to bring canned food items and/or a new, unwrapped toy to donate starting December 1st through December 15th. If you are a face-to-face learner, you may drop your items by the TCE ​Giving ​Tree in the front of the school​, and canned foods can be put in the boxes at the end of each hallway​. Virtual learners may call the front office ​at 214-496-7800 to make arrangements to drop off your donation ​in the front loop during school hours. THANK YOU for your support!

The Coppell Lion's Club is partnering with Coppell ISD to provide holiday food and toys to area families during the month of December. If your family could benefit from the support of this organization, please complete the form at the following link and send it to kmatlock@coppellisd.com by December 4th. If you would prefer a paper copy to be sent home, please email your request to kmatlock@coppellisd.com or call the front office to arrange a curbside pick-up.

If your family shops at Tom Thumb, you can easily earn money for Town Center each time you shop. To get started, you will need to link our Town Center account number to your Reward Card. To do this, you simply fill out the Good Neighbor form below and return it to the store's Courtesy Booth (our TCE number is already on the form for you). That's it! Town Center will be linked to your reward card, and each time you shop we will receive 1% of the total sale. This really adds up for us! If you do not already have a Tom Thumb Rewards Card, you can sign up for up at the store. Click here for a copy of the form.

Amazon utilizes its program Amazon Smile to donate .5% of sales to a charity of the customer's choice. Our school is registered with this site, so families are able to designate our school as their school of choice. **There are two "Town Center Elementary" schools in the system, so make sure to choose the correct one by looking at the city & state section.

We'd love for all of our TCE staff and families to join us in raising money for our school through the Box Tops for Education App. It's a great way to earn money from an activity you already do each week. Please watch the short video below to see how you can get started. It's as easy as downloading the free app and scanning your receipts! You can also invite your extended family and friends to join you in raising money for TCE. Thank you!

CISD relies heavily on the voice of our families to help us validate our practices and seek input in areas that need to be improved. The district encourages you to use this avenue to share your voice in our Fall 2020 Family Survey, which can be found at go.coppellisd.com/familyfall2020. Your feedback will help us evaluate our performance and guide our work for the remainder of the school year. In addition, this survey plays a crucial role in our Community-Based Accountability System or CBAS. CBAS uses multiple pillars to measure success, and the more family participation in this survey, the better we can know how we are doing and where we can improve.
