Important Reminders and Updates
 
From the District, PLEASE READ and FILL OUT SURVEY!!

Dear Educators,
 
Coppell ISD is having a curriculum audit completed by the TASA Curriculum Management Audit team. This will be a comprehensive audit of language arts, math, social studies, and science curriculum documents that support academic programming. The audit team is composed of individuals outside our district and area who are taking an all-inclusive look at our curriculum getting input from stakeholders. In addition to educator input via this brief survey, the auditors will be soliciting additional input in an “open” group interview being scheduled by the district. This group educator interview will be held on February 1st, from 4:00-4:45 in the CISD Board Room. If you are interested in participating in this group, please email ptramel@coppellisd.com
 
The survey attached does have an opportunity for open comments for general input in addition to the questions asked in the survey. Please complete the survey by January 25. We look forward to your input as we continuously work to improve our curriculum in CISD!
 
Jump Rope for Heart Assemblies
Please note the quick assemblies on Friday of this week!  We needed to have these in order to share quickly about the upcoming fund raiser for the American Heart Association.  These will be held in the cafeteria and should be fairly quick!
