Coppell ISD - you matter

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing CISD families for prioritizing student attendance! Regular attendance allows students to engage in lessons, build relationships with peers, and maximize their education. It also helps teachers assess and plan effectively. Attendance Matters…You Matter! Together, let's continue to make every day count! 🌟📚❤️ #CoppellISD #AttendanceMatters #YouMatter #EducationFirst #TeamCoppellISD #StartStrongCISD 🏫🎒📝

Sweet Reunion at CISD New Hire Breakfast: At the Aug. 1 Coppell ISD's New Hire Breakfast, the CISD Child Nutrition team served more than just breakfast — they served up memories. Estrella "Star" Primera, a beloved member of our Child Nutrition team for 30 years, had a sweet reunion with new teacher Sabrina Sadler, a former student to whom Primera served meals to when Sadler was in Kindergarten at Austin Elementary. A CISD graduate Sadler is starting her first year teaching social studies at Coppell Middle School East. This touching reunion highlights the lasting impact of CISD Child Nutrition staff, proving that a simple meal can nourish hearts and minds. #MyHomeIsCISD

Congratulations to the Coppell High School Wind Symphony placed second in the state as part of the TMEA 2024 Honor Band Process. The Honor Band process, similar to the UIL process, requires the preparation of three songs during the spring semester recorded in a live setting. Those recordings are then assessed by a panel of five judges on various accounts. The band then moved on to the next round of four total rounds, where Coppell Band reached the semi-final round and were among the 10 best ensembles in 6A this year. “Every day I feel blessed to have this job. Standing in front of the most talented students around is humbling and the greatest honor,” Shuttlesworth said. “Results are great, but getting to make music together to create art — there is nothing like it.” #MyHomeIsCISD #CISDInternMade by Rhea Chowdhary

📚 Help Coppell ISD Maintain Strong Student Attendance 🌟 To ensure your student doesn't miss out on learning opportunities and to support our district's funding: - Schedule dentist and doctor appointments outside of school hours or in the afternoon to avoid full-day absences. - Plan family trips and vacations during scheduled school breaks whenever possible. - Keep sick children home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication to prevent spreading illness. - Sending a child to school sick can lead to more missed days for them and potential work days for parents. Let's prioritize attendance for a successful school year! #CoppellISD #AttendanceMatters #HealthyHabits #StudentSuccess #EveryDayCounts 🏫💙
