Background Check
New for the 2019-20 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 user name and password each year for your Volunteer Background Check.
- Follow the directions to set up an account and complete the form.
Interested in helping in the office or classroom of your child's school on a regular basis? Are you accompanying or chaperoning a group of students on a field trip, weekend camp outing, helping with PTO events, or chaperoning at a dance? To be eligible to volunteer on any of the CISD campuses, you must complete a Criminal History Background Check. Only ONE form is needed per volunteer each year, even if volunteering for multiple campuses or students. A Criminal History Background Check must be completed EACH school year for all volunteers. Please make sure you have completed the form a week in advance before you volunteer.
Headphones Needed
This means EVERY child in the school has their own ipad to use here at school. Headphones are extremely important for your child to have and keep here to use daily. With 20 students in the room using an ipad, the noise gets c.r.a.z.y. - plus they are needing the noise around them to be cancelled out when taking assessments on technology.
We strongly suggest not to get ear buds, they break very easily and don't stay in the child's ear well. Please send to school your child's headphones (similar to the picture) as soon as possible.
Here are 2 Amazon links that are great headphone options:
Supplies
You guys did such a great job sending in supplies! I can't thank you enough for your help with sorting. You saved me HOURS of work, thanks a bunch!
Lunch and Snack
The First Family Friday lunch is on September 6th!! :)
More info to come on Curriculum Night...
Some kids can't find their snack so they think that mommy and daddy forgot, chatting with your child about where you are putting their snack can really help them! This is why I strongly suggest packing those snacks completely separate!
Right now during snack time, we are watching Pepe and the Big Wide World episodes and taking a break. Later in the year, snack will be a "working snack" and it would be greatly appreciated if you didn't send in a snack that needs utensils. Please think quick and easy :)
Great snack choices: like an apple, banana, crackers, cheese sticks, squeezeable applesauce, fruit snacks, veggie sticks, goldfish, pretzels
NOT so great: cookies, candy, yogurt with spoon, sandwiches, pasta, Cheetos (#somuchorange)
Curriculum Night -- August 29th
We also hope to have some volunteers to sign up to be Room Parents, or to help our classroom in various ways. There are always opportunities that you can help in Kindergarten :)
Mark Your Calendars!
- August 29th- Curriculum Night 5:30-6:30
- September 6th- First Family Friday Lunch
