Thank you for continuing to demonstrate flexibility this week. With virtual learners coming up for STAAR testing, subs not filling jobs, and Schoology glitching...you continue to do what you do best, which is SHINE! 🌞 We recognize that it is overwhelming at times, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Enjoy the weekend and leave as soon as all of our learners are safely dismissed on FriYAY.
- that only 2 Red and Black Superstars were highlighted this 9 weeks from the Coppell Education Foundation? Congratulations to Jessica and Kourtney. Others nominated were: Brittany, Brooklyn, Josephine, Kim, Layne, and Madison. Way to go!
- we will only accept learners switching from Virtual to F2F until May 1? After May 1, they will need to honor their commitment. Please communicate this to your parents. If you are advocating for learners to come in F2F, then please make that happen this week.

- On Tuesday, May 4, starting at 7am ET, every donation to a project on Donors Choose will be matched 50% thanks to SONIC Drive-In, while funds last.

Whether you need books for your students, a new coding kit, or something else entirely, now is a great time to create a project on DonorsChoose.
