Town Center Principal Newsletter

Our teachers are beginning to plan for parent conferences, and we look forward to our families joining us. Our conferences are a great way to partner in your child's education. Our staff will be able to share beginning-of-the-year district assessment data, class progress, and collaborate with parents on the year ahead. Please be on the lookout for a sign-up in our teacher blogs. Both face-to-face and virtual parent conferences will be available.

Mark your calendars for the Town Center Color Run on October 14th, 5:30-7:00 p.m.! This is our big fundraiser for the year, so please plan to join us. The fundraiser will run from Oct. 3rd through Oct.14th, ending with the run.

Here’s how the fundraiser will work:

• All TCE students will be given a Color Run shirt and be able to be a part of the run at no cost. Parents that want to participate in the run can register at www.tcepto.com for $20.00.

• Each class will work together to raise funds and win class rewards when they hit goals overall as a class.

• Donations can be made online at www.tcepto.com, or students can bring in cash or check (payable to TCE PTO). Make sure the donations are marked with your student’s name and teacher so that it’s added to their class total. Send our donation link to family and friends that would be interested in donating.

Donations from this fundraiser will go to fund Field Day, buses for field trips, Teacher Appreciation Week, and classroom grants.

Coppell Education Foundation representative, Sherilyn Fox, updated us at our last PTO meeting about the CEF Foundation. The CEF Foundation will take nominations for students, teachers, and staff from 9/26 - 10/14 for CEF Superstars. Parents can nominate any staff member by visiting https://www.coppellisdef.com/super-star to submit a nomination. Teachers will be able to nominate our learners, and we look forward to awarding some of our TCE Texans this fall.

Library volunteer times are now available through October. Library volunteers will assist with checking in and checking out books, reshelving books, and helping with special projects. Please find a link below to sign-up. All volunteers must have a completed background check from this school year.

Several elementary schools (Wilson, Austin, and Denton Creek) are joining together to host a parent information night. Please see the blurb and graphic below to learn more about it, and sign up using the link.

Most of us understand that individuals can have unique needs and qualities. By learning and experiencing some of these differences, we will better understand how we can foster a sense of belonging and understanding in our community. Please join us as we learn about these unique abilities with hands-on activities and experiences.

TCE PTO is looking for your help in gathering photos for the Town Center Yearbook! We set up an easy process for you to share your images from different campus or classroom events. We would love for all families to contribute their images so we can make sure we have equal representation from all grade levels and classrooms! Please use the following step-by-step directions document or video to create a Lifetouch account and begin uploading your images now. Thank you!
