Dear CISD Families,
As we welcome our in-person students on Tuesday, Sept. 8, I want to assure our community that we have been working tirelessly to ensure a safe and smooth process for all. Individual schools should have or will be sending information about their campus procedures for arrival, dismissal, social distancing, lunch and more for Sept. 8.
Even though we have been in school for three weeks, in many ways this date will be like the first day of school for our in-person students. We know that they will be experiencing the usual hiccups and new obstacles to work through as we embark on unchartered territory for our students and staff. We ask in advance for your patience and understanding as we tackle this new opportunity together. We have been planning for in-person in addition to distance learning for months, and we may still need to make some minor tweaks to both along the way. Please remember we are in this together, and if we work with each other, I am confident that this will be another amazing school year for everyone!I know there are questions about how learning will happen for in-person and distance students simultaneously. Our educators have been working together as teams to ensure equal curriculum delivery, assignments and assessment and instruction time with all students. This means that school will look and feel different than it has before. I specifically ask for your understanding, as our educators have been tasked with a huge responsibility of handling in person and distance learning. Yes, they will be working in teams, but need your grace as they take on these new duties and responsibilities to an already busy job.
If you have an issue, question or concern, please reach out to your child’s teacher first to address it, then to a campus administrator. Posting to social media is not a productive way to address individual issues, and it is not something we should model for our children. Most of the information I am often asked about is on our website, so please continue to check it regularly for important and updated information. We have also included an important "Check List" for in-person learning below that we hope will be a helpful resource to our families.
As we head into the Labor Day Weekend with encouraging news from Dallas County about our COVID-19 transition rate, I strongly encourage you to continue to social distance, avoid large gatherings and keep wearing your masks. Working together and practicing these simple guidelines will help us all to continue towards a path of normalcy sooner, rather than later.
I hope you enjoy this holiday weekend with your family.
Dr. Brad Hunt
COVID-19 Notification Process and Dashboard Starting Sept. 8, each weekday that there are new reported positive COVID-19 cases in the district, CISD will share an email summary with our community at 6 p.m. Cases at individual schools will be communicated via email directly to the employees and parents/guardians at each campus. CISD also has a dashboard at www.coppellisd.com/COVID-19Dashboard, which is frequently updated with the district’s current active COVID-19 cases.
Checklists and Health Screening CISD has developed checklists for both our in person and distance students for Sept. 8. These are available at go.coppellisd.com/InPersonChecklist and go.coppellisd.com/DistanceLearningCheckList. The district also asks parents and guardians of in person learners to screen their children daily using the checklist at go.coppellisd.com/StudentScreenChecklist.
TEA Educational Rights & Responsibilities The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has asked CISD to share the agency’s Education Rights and Responsibilities document with our families.

Elementary Schoology View Change Friday, Sept. 4 at 4 p.m., CISD will make a slight change in the dashboard view of Schoology for the district’s elementary learners to make Schoology easier to navigate for our younger students. Read more at go.coppellisd.com/SchoologyViewChange.
