It's the First Week of School!
I hope that everyone has enjoyed this last weekend of semi-freedom and that you will be refreshed (or at least excited) come tomorrow. I have created a folder in the NTH@C 2016-2017 school year Google Drive folder that has all of the schedules, shuttle schedules, etc. for this week and year.
Please make sure you read the email from Ms. Hinds regarding taking attendance for the first few days of school. We will have to submit an official student count even though we are not with our normal classes until Thursday.
I have removed the link below for individual meetings with me so that we can get the school year going. I'll add dates back in starting next week so that I can continue to get to know you individually. As you might recall, Raheela will be out Tuesday-Thursday this week and I know it will be a busy one anyway!
See y'all tomorrow! Please be in the hallways as students arrive to give them a warm welcome. I'll be the crazy woman with a goofy headband out front :-)

We are scheduled to conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) on the first week of September. The purpose of UAT is to:
make sure the applications (Element and Enlight) handle required tasks (i.e functionality and data) in real-world scenarios – according to the specifications recorded during the requirement-gathering phase.
For this, we would like 10 - 12 Coppell ISD educators to participate in UAT. To ensure that we get a good read of our products, we would like the 10 - 12 participants to:
- be classroom educators
- HAVE NOT have any experience with either application (we want unbiased feedback)
- preferably an English, Math, or Science educator
