Trainings & Curriculum Updates
In an effort to keep you fully informed I'm including a link to the Curriculum Courier (admin newsletter). This link will give you access to current and past issues of the newsletter. The Courier will provide you with pertinent information for your grade and content area. Although some weeks are more informative than others you should try to review it regularly.

Survey - yes, another one - sorry:
Coppell ISD will be using an innovative on-line survey to evaluate teacher and student comfort and engagement. Your participation and that of your students is very important. This survey was conducted last year and in order for us to compare before and after results and have validity over time, it’s imperative it is completed again by the same elementary schools.
Teachers, please take this 15-minute survey at your convenience:
Teacher Survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TeacherSurvey16
Teachers, please also find a 15-minute window to have your students take this survey. The question language on the student survey has been adapted for their comprehension, but this still need to be an activity guided by you, the teacher. First and Second grade students are not required to take the survey
Student Survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ESStudentSurvey16
Please complete the student and teacher surveys before Friday April 29th, 2016:
The survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete and is confidential and anonymous. Thank you in advance for your participation.
