#NTHCinnovate
April 26
Dear New Tech Community,
I’m thrilled to share that New Tech’s Big Adventure (NTBA) was a resounding success for our learners today! For those who may not be familiar, NTBA is an annual event organized by our Networking Team Captains. It offers every NT@C learner the chance to explore different cultural sites, including museums, zoos, and arboretums. NTBA consistently provides a wonderful and enriching experience, and I’m delighted that our learners had this opportunity today.
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
Mr. Smith

Students not Coming Back for the 2024-25 school year – NTH@C
If your child will not be returning to Coppell ISD for the 2024-25 school year, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/2dtscnuseHengpfN9 to let us know your future plans. A form will need to be filled out separately for each child in your family not returning to the district. This form link is only for students at NTH@C not returning. If you have students at other campuses who will not be returning, you will receive an e-mail from those campuses with their form links.
We would ask that you complete the form by May 17, 2024 so that we can provide further guidance on returning district devices and other items.
We understand that you may have already let us know via e-mail that your child will not be returning, but we need to gather additional information about your future plans at this time.
In an effort to continually improve our schools, we appreciate feedback from families who choose to withdraw their child from Coppell ISD. We know that there are many different reasons families change schools. The decision to transfer a child/children to a new school is never an easy one. We respect the difficulty of your decision. Please remember that should you decide to bring your child back to us, we will be here ready to welcome them back!
Volunteers Needed for Lakeside Stampede
As our Annual Lakeside Stampede Fundraiser is around the corner, Lakeside PTO would like to extend community service volunteering opportunities to New Tech students. We greatly appreciate your help during our events. Year after year, we hear very positive feedback from parents, teachers and kids - New Tech students consistently go above and beyond expectations.
