Ipads Going Home - November 20, 2020
CISD Parents,
Over the fall break many of you have decided to stay close to home rather than travel. Therefore, we are sending home district iPads with all face-to-face students to provide them the opportunity to continue their learning using district approved apps. Using the iPad is not required; however, it is available if you choose to use it. The students must return the iPads and the charging cord the day they return to school on November 30th. Please enjoy your time with family and we will see you soon.
Giveback Challenge 2020 - Let's WIN this! :)
For the 5th year in a row, Carroll ISD is challenging all 11 CISD campuses to participate in a gift card drive from Monday, Nov. 30 through Friday, Dec. 4, 2020. This year, the campuses will compete to see who can raise the most money in gift cards or online donations for the benefit of GRACE Grapevine.
GRACE, based in Grapevine, provides food, clothing, financial assistance and other vital necessities to people who are struggling with a limited income or recent emergency. The campus that contributes the largest dollar amount in gift cards and donations will be named the 2020 Ozarka® Compassion Cup winner.
The Give Back Challenge offers two different ways to help. Gift cards contributions in denominations of $10 to $25 will be accepted and donors also have an online donation option this year (link TBD).
Please label all gift cards with their dollar amount. Gift card drop boxes will be available in the front office of each campus and the CISD Administration Building.
Past campus winners include Johnson Elementary (2016, 2017, 2018) and Walnut Grove Elementary (2019).
Gift cards will be picked up at all campuses at 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 4 for counting. The winning campus will be announced at the varsity football game when Carroll plays Fossil Ridge at Dragon Stadium on Friday, Dec. 4.
