Coker Mission--Every Child, Every Day
We support and foster a positive community of successful, life-long learners and leaders by meeting the needs of every individual while challenging each one to reach full potential.
Vending Machines
Revenue from vending machines situated in all areas of the school shall be controlled by the school principal and processed through the SAF/CAF System. Schools are to contract with a firm whereby the vendor agrees to service the vending machines and collect the money. The school then receives a periodic commission check from the vendor.
Commission received is campus revenue and is placed into a 900 Campus
Activity Fund account.
As required by House Bill 52, NEISD has adopted a policy governing the expenditure of local funds from vending machines that require local funds to be related to educational purpose and provide a commensurate benefit to students.

Tax Preparation
A note from Gary Barr: As part of our services to NEISD we will provide fee discounts for in-office retail tax preparation services, for online tax preparation services, or for H&R Block software purchases. We will also donate $20 per new HRB client who completes a return with us to the NEISD Education Fund.
Leadership Quote-January
Caught Being a Leader
Randy Gastinger is such an asset to Coker! He thinks outside the box and is always first to respond in the time of a crisis. No task is too challenging. He never misses a beat! His dedication is very much appreciated!
Deborah Witt took it upon herself to go and ask a friend of hers to donate tacos for our 2nd Annual Cowboy breakfast. She is not on the Outreach Committee yet she took on the leadership role and asked. Thank you Deborah for your outstanding contribution to our faculty.
Leader in Me Implementation
The Leader in Me Symposium will take place on Wednesday & Thursday, January 27th & 28th. There are 13 Coker staff members attending. This two day event will build our repertoire for the implementation of the Leader in Me framework that will lead us to Lighthouse milestone.

Coker Handbook Tidbits-Student Cell Phone Policy
During the instructional day, or while attending school-sponsored or school-related activities, on or off school property, during school hours, cell phones/personal electronic devices that are not being used as a technology resource for approved academic purposes, and/or the principal or his/her designee has not given permission to use the cell phone/personal electronic device, the device must remain turned off and not visible during the school day.
The use of cell phones/camera phones/cameras/personal electronic devices is strictly prohibited at all times in locker rooms or restroom areas or any other area where personal privacy is an expectation at any time while at school or at school-related or school-sponsored events.

30 Hour G/T Certification
NEISD has set a goal to increase the number of Gifted and Talented certified teachers across the district by 5% for the 2016-2017 school year.
In an effort to reach this goal at Coker, you are highly encouraged to obtain this certification and will receive Teacher Choice hours if you choose to do so.
I am currently planning alongside Amy Sirizzotti, G/T Coordinator, to coordinate a training at Coker. Certification training is available for all NEISD K-12 teachers in Eduphoria for the following dates: June 13-16, 2016 and July 18-21, 2016.
