Thanksgiving Feast
Even though we are not all together right now, we would like to celebrate our TCE Kindergarten Family by sharing a meal together virtually. On Thursday, November 19th, we would like to all eat lunch together on Zoom. This is a completely optional Zoom!
Please use THIS Zoom Link (Miss Rice's Zoom Link) to join our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast Zoom at 10:30 on November 19th. We will put it in the Schoology Calendar as well.
We will also be sending out more information on Monday about a fun craft to go along with our feast!
Coppell Lions Club Donations
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!
Virtual Learner Zoom Lessons
Our schedule for zoom this week for virtual learners will remain the same this week! We are so happy to be back in the classrooms and done with Reading Academies until January! Yay!
iPad Info - Zoom Single Sign On
Also, all students will need to complete the Zoom Sign on ASAP. CISD is updating and changing zoom settings so your child will no longer be able to log into our class zoom meetings without being signed in. Please click HERE for step by step zoom instructions.
Zoom Expectations:
Will you please take some time to review Zoom Expectations with your child? All students both virtual and F2F students are participating in some zooms and we have really been working on using our best manners on zoom! This will help everyone have a great learning experience! Thank you!
