Dear Copperfield Families,
With the arrival of spring, we are beginning to enjoy warmer temperatures. Our classes are excited to observe the seasonal changes in our outdoor learning spaces. Please ensure your children are dressed appropriately for the varying temperatures throughout the day.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in the Read-A-Thon fundraiser. This important initiative relies on the support of many volunteers, and we are truly grateful for your generosity. Together, we raised $15,712.17, and we look forward to investing these funds into our literacy program to further support student reading.
Copperfield has heart!
Warm regards,
Colette Pedde Allyson Heggie
Principal Assistant Principal

Waiver applications for the current school year are found online through your MyCBE account and are available from the start of the school year until June 30.
More information can be found on the Fee’s and Waivers page.
