Seniors enrolled in English at CHS will complete the Senior Survey in Naviance during English class on Friday, May 11. Students at NL for English will also complete it on that Friday – students in afternoon dual credit will complete it 3rd period and students gone in the morning will complete it 5th period. Lists will be sent to teachers as to when to send those students to the computer labs.

As part of the survey students will be asked to list any scholarships that have been offered (not just ones a student may use.) Students either need to know what are the names and amounts of the scholarships or have the information with them at that time. This information will used as part of the Senior Awards Assembly.

There’s nothing worse than hearing the words “You have cancer.” One out of every two males and one out of every three females in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in his/her lifetime. To help fight this terrible disease, our CISD schools have stepped up to the plate and truly are making a difference!

Recently, Coppell ISD schools received an award for “Best Youth Engagement” for their involvement in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life event. Specifically, the actions from both our High Schools (Coppell High School and New Tech) and our middle schools were highlighted in this awards ceremony held at the Irving Convention Center in January.

The upcoming 2012 Relay for Life Coppell is scheduled for April 28-29th from 5:00pm until 7:00am at Wagon Wheel Park (Freeport Parkway and Ruby Road.) If you haven’t formed a team, signed up to participate, made a donation, or just want to learn more about this event, please go to www.relayforlifecoppell.com. There will be live music, games (poker, bingo, and many more,) food, and special guest appearance from KSCS 96.3 DJ Terry Dorsey (Dorsey and the Gang.)

This is the 10th anniversary in Coppell and we would love to see all of our parents, neighbors, kids, friends and most importantly, cancer survivors and caregivers there! With your support and donations, we hope to reach our grand total goal of $1 Million to fight cancer!

Please join us as we CELEBRATE those who have fought this terrible disease as well as their caregivers. . . . REMEMBER those who have lost the cancer battle and . . . . FIGHT BACK against cancer!

One Day. . One Night. . One Community.. . One Fight!!

I provide a core list of questions, but interviewers from the past have always incorporated their own questions, too.

I have attached core questions and evaluation tool that you will be using.
Sample Interview Questions
Interview Day Rubric

Details:
When: Thursday, May 24th
Where: Coppell High School, Room D101 (Freshman Center)
Time: 8:00am to 12:30 Interviews
