WELCOME TO OUR FAMILEE
We are excited to welcome these two educators on campus. Some of you got to meet Annah when she visited the clinic last week. We have recommended someone in district for our Special Education opening and will still be looking for a paraprofessional.
Hi! My name is Maria Anderson and I've been teaching English Language Learners at a middle school for 3 years in the Chicagoland area. I am thrilled to be joining the team at Richard J. Lee Elementary. Before obtaining my Master of Arts in Teaching, I tutored ESL and French at a local college, and learned to be creative and engaging while working at a preschool.
I believe every student comes with their own funds of knowledge that we as educators must build upon in constructive and engaging ways. I am committed to forming relationships with students and meeting them at their level. You will see student collaboration and multicultural representations in my classroom.
Travel has brought me joy in life, as has dance, reading, and trying new foods. I am looking forward to bringing an enthusiastic and dedicated approach to Coppell with me.
My name is Emma McCornack and I am so excited to be joining the famiLEE! I am from Austin, TX and the oldest of 7 kids (the youngest just started kindergarten this year!). I graduated from TCU with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education in May 2020 and graduate again May 2021 with my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction: Language and Literacy, also at TCU. Go frogs! My favorite thing to do is read, my favorite movie is Grease, I cannot live without cheese, and my favorite place in the world is Martha's Vineyard. I am also probably the biggest Taylor Swift fan you will ever meet. I started subbing for Coppell ISD this spring semester because I had heard so many wonderful things about the district and absolutely fell in love with Lee the second I stepped foot on campus. I am so excited for next fall!
#RJLYEAR8 SELFIE CHALLENGE
Last year, we had our fifth summer selfie challenge and we will be back for a sixth round. This challenge is our way to see what you are doing this summer and to stay connected- we are ALL ABOUT authentic relationships in CISD. It is also a great way for our school community to see our new hires and for us all to get to know each other outside of school. We hope everyone will be interested in joining the FUN. Please tweet it out to your followers and encourage your learners and their famiLEEs to join in, too. Use the hashtags #rjlyear8 and #rjlsummerselfie. We will coordinate some outings this summer that can help you fill in a square or two. If you plan something...spread the word!
I WILL SEND THE NEW BOARD ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 🚧
