Welcome Back
Headphones Needed
We will be receiving our 1 to 1 I pad devices very soon. Each learner will need to provide his or her own headphones. We store these in our cubbies, so durability and comfort are key! Learners tend to prefer headphones with a cushiony earpiece, as opposed to ear buds, that often do not fit properly. We use our I pads with sound for several district online assessments, as well as other enrichments to our curriculum, such as a self guided tour of George Washington's home at Mt. Vernon! Thank you for your support!

Helpful Information
- Birthday Celebration Policies: After much consideration and conversations with Austin parents and educators, we amended our procedures/guidelines for birthday celebrations a few years ago. We will no longer accept cupcakes/goodies for the classroom. Rather, we will celebrate birthdays on our morning broadcast, recognize kids individually in the classroom, and provide them with a special birthday "treat" from the office. It is our hope that we can celebrate your child in a much healthier, safer, and special way!
- Background Checks: New for the 2019-2020 school year, CISD is using an application process for all volunteers in the District. In order to upgrade the security of your personal information, you will be required to fill out an application (setting up a new secure user name and password) and background form. This user name and password will be used again each year you complete the form. Volunteers are a valuable part of our educational team. and we appreciate all you do!
- Please follow these steps to complete your Volunteer Background Check:
- Visit www.coppellisd.com/volunteer
- Click on "Volunteer Application and Background Check Forms"
- Then, follow the "New User? Click here to register prompts." Note, everyone is a new user in this system and MUST set up a new account. Previous Coppell ISD logins and passwords will not work with this new system. Once you set up an account, you can use this username and password each year for your Volunteer Background Check.
- Follow the directions to set up an account and complete the form.
