Headphones Needed
We strongly suggest not to get earbuds, they break very easily and don't stay in the child's ear. Please send to school your child's headphones (similar to the picture) as soon as possible.
Here are 2 Amazon links that are great headphone options:
Reader's Workshop
Family Friday Lunch- NEW changes this year!!
Click the Link Below to sign up to join your child for Family Friday lunch on Fridays! This is when you get to eat with your child in the cafeteria during our regular lunchtime from 10:15-10:45 am. The office is asking that this year, you sign up by noon on the Thursday before so the office is able to batch print. In the past, it has seemed to be a lengthy process and they are hoping this won't take as long to get parents in the building. PLEASE make sure you do the sign up if you plan on attending lunch with your child.
Due to new security protocol by the district, check-in in the office will be time-consuming and last minute late arrivals will have to go through the process. Arriving early will be necessary to process all visitors. Thank you for supporting the CISD to ensure our students' safety!

Because we eat lunch so early, every learner needs a snack! Please send a snack packed separately, every day!
Great snack choices: like an apple, banana, crackers, cheese sticks, squeezeable applesauce, fruit snacks, veggie sticks, goldfish, pretzels
NOT so great: cookies, candy, yogurt with spoon, sandwiches, pasta, Cheetos (#somuchorange)

Interested in becoming a Room Parent?
Each classroom teacher at Austin Elementary would love to have a Room Parent that helps their classroom throughout the year! The duties are very limited- typically only helping plan parties with the teachers, organizing classroom donations, and the occasional email to help grab something for the class!
The room parent can be a mom or a dad...or even better- a TEAM!! A team of two or three parents would be awesome to help divvy up duties!
I'll have a sign up on Curriculum Night next week if you are thinking you are interested and would like to help K2 by being a room parent!!
Specials Schedule
Background Check
New for the 2019-20 school year, CISD is using an application process for all volunteers in the District. In order to upgrade the security of your personal information, you will be required to fill out an application (setting up a new secure user name and password) and background form. This user name and password will be used again each year you complete the form. Volunteers are a valuable part of our educational team, and we appreciate all you do!
Please follow these steps to complete your Volunteer Background Check:
- Visit www.coppellisd.com/volunteer
- Click on “Volunteer Application and Background Check Forms”
- Then, follow the “New User? Click here to register prompts.” Note, everyone is a new user in this system and MUST set up a new account. Previous Coppell ISD logins and passwords will not work with this new system. Once you set up an account, you can use this user name and password each year for your Volunteer Background Check.
- Follow the directions to set up an account and complete the form.
Interested in helping in the office or classroom of your child's school on a regular basis? Are you accompanying or chaperoning a group of students on a field trip, weekend camp outing, helping with PTO events, or chaperoning at a dance? To be eligible to volunteer on any of the CISD campuses, you must complete a Criminal History Background Check. Only ONE form is needed per volunteer each year, even if volunteering for multiple campuses or students. A Criminal History Background Check must be completed EACH school year for all volunteers. Please make sure you have completed the form a week in advance before you volunteer.
Mark Your Calendars!
- August 29th- Curriculum Night 5:30-6:30
