ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Did you know? When student attendance rises, more state funding is allocated to bolster district programs aimed at enhancing student performance and engagement. Higher attendance rates also position districts to secure additional funding from federal and other sources. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing CISD families for prioritizing student attendance!
Regular attendance enables students to participate actively in lessons, form meaningful relationships with peers, and fully benefit from their education. It also supports teachers in assessing progress and planning effectively. Attendance Matters…You Matter!
YOUR VOICE MATTERS- SHARE YOU FEEDBACK THROUGH THE COWBOYS UNITED SURVEY!
Coppell ISD is launching the Cowboys United campaign to shape the district’s future together. We invite parents, guardians, and community members to take a few minutes to complete our Cowboys United Survey and share what you value most about CISD and what you want to see in the years ahead.

I hope you left Tuesday’s PL Day with fresh ideas and a little inspiration! If there’s a session you’d like to revisit, or one you missed and want to explore, you can check out this Collection of Resources. Be aware - it takes a moment to load.
If something sparked your curiosity, I’d love to partner with you to bring it into your classroom! Here are a few ways we could collaborate:
- Try out a new strategy or routine you learned during a session
- Plan an upcoming lesson using one of the new resources you discovered
- Reflect together on how to adapt a session idea for your learners
- Co-plan or model a strategy to see how it works in action
I’d love to hear what inspired you most. Let’s keep the learning going!
