Town Center Principal Newsletter

Our Panorama Parent Survey Window is open, and we'd love to have you all participate. It is a great way for my administration team to get feedback as we head into the second half of the year. Below is the link to access the survey, and it will close on December 20th. Thank you in advance for participating!

Lion's Club

Each year the Lion's Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys to families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year the Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 100 families for children who might otherwise have gone without. The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lion's Club, and the identity of the recipients is kept confidential. If your family would benefit from a holiday basket and toys from the Lion's Club, please complete THIS FORM and return it to TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock, by Friday, December 6th. Email kmatlock@coppellisd.com if you would like a paper copy sent home.

Metrocrest Services

Metrocrest Services provides two seasonal support options for families:

• The Thanksgiving Food program provides holiday favorites such as turkey, dressing, and food to help you and your family during the Thanksgiving holiday break.

• The Holiday program makes the holiday season a little brighter by allowing parents to go to our holiday store and choose unwrapped toys for their children. In addition, participants can pick up non-perishable food and winter coats for the family.

In order to qualify for Free & Reduced Meals, families are required to complete an application each year to determine their eligibility. CISD is encouraging our eligible families to complete an application online at www.nlappscloud.com.

Parents, guardians or students can add funds to their accounts in person at the school cafeteria via cash or check, or for a small fee, they can use the "My School Bucks" app to deposit funds with a debit or credit card. Visit www.coppellisd.com/childnutrition for more information about school breakfasts and lunches or to create or add funds to your child’s school lunch account.

If you are interested in learning more about or joining our Dads and Dudes Club, we'd love to have you. Please email Nick Walther at dadsclub@towncenterpto.org and be on the lookout for upcoming volunteer opportunities.

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone completed one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dads and Dudes Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete.

We want to make sure all of our families are in the loop about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. Please mark your calendars with our fall events. There are quite a few activities that parents and families are invited to, and we'd love to have you! As each event nears and we finalize details, we will share additional information.
