What will this mean for New Tech? Some basic information about a modified block schedule was shared with members of our Site Based Decision Making team and we will have various levels of input to help us with our schedule for next year. CHS is having their parent information meetings on November 9th and 14th at 6:45 in their auditorium. We will have parent and learner feedback sessions over the coming weeks. Please see next week's newsletter for dates. No decision has been made about the New Tech schedule for next year yet and you can be assured that we will be thoughtful, learner-centered, and innovative with our thinking.

Coppell Education Red and Black Campaign
Did you know that over $983,000 in grants have been awarded to CISD schools and educators by the Coppell Education Foundation?
The Coppell Education Foundation’s 2016 annual Red & Black fundraising campaign will run from October 24th through November 18th.
