Summer Lunch Program
End of Year Conferences and Summer Practice
As the end of the school year is approaching, we would like to let you know that if you would like a conference with your child's teacher, you may reach out to your child's homeroom teacher. We are happy to meet with you via Zoom, Phone, E-mail, or in person. Before the end of the year, we will send home a list of activities to enhance skills during the summer that will benefit all students! IStation, Dreambox, and Raz-Kids will all be available throughout the summer as well! More information about apps and websites to use over the summer (including usernames and passwords) will be coming!
Field Day
What is Field Day?!
It is a day spent for our learners to travel to different stations throughout the day that include bounce houses, a water slide, sponge relay races, frozen treats and MORE! One of the stations is walking to the Coppell City CORE (Coppell City’s Pool) to go swimming! The CORE will have staff on hand and also has life jackets available for swimmers. If your learner is not a strong swimmer and requires a life jacket, please reach out to your homeroom teacher and we will make sure to have that available.
What will your kiddo need to wear on Field Day, May 23rd?
Please have them wear a swimsuit (girls under their clothes and boys wear swimsuit bottoms) and their grade level t-shirt and flip flops/crocs or shoes that can get wet! We will have lots of WATER activities!
What do kids need to bring to field day?
Please bring a water bottle as it will probably be warm! Students will also need a towel with their initials on it! Our amazing Room Parents that will be walking our classes from station to station will keep track of the towels and lunches.
What about lunch?
Please pack a sack lunch for your student! We will be eating picnic style outside the school. The cafeteria will offer sack lunches that day so if you would like one for your child be sure to sign them up when the signup is sent out closer to the 23rd.
Anything else we need?
Learners will be outside most of the day so please apply sunscreen on your child before school and send additional if needed! We also ask that you send a dry change of clothes they can change into when they return to school. If you can pack this in a small or cinch backpack, that would be great!
Also, we have volunteer opportunities!! Please use the Sign-Up Genius to sign up for a time slot. As we get closer we will be reaching out with your specific station and instructions!
