Update

We hope all members of our Copperfield community had a restful and wonderful Holiday break. It was great to welcome students and staff back this week as we begin to conclude term one here at Copperfield. Our goal this week has been to review routines and to continue to set high expectations for all members of our learning spaces. During my classroom visits, I listened to many students discussing and setting learning goals for the remainder of the year. Descriptive words that I heard students select to focus on included: resilience, perseverance, excellence, kindness, and joy. These words exhibit the genuine empathy and character our students continuously strive to demonstrate daily at Copperfield and are an example for us all as we embark on a new year. I wish all members of Copperfield a Happy New Year and look forward to the amazing learning opportunities to come.

Copperfield has heart!  

Sincerely,

Mike Magowan

Recorders (Grade 3, 4 & 5 only)

This year the recorder unit will begin in February for all students in Grades 3, 4 and 5.  The school has a limited number of loaner recorders however they would only be used during class time. We recommend each student order a recorder if they do not already own one. Cost of the recorder and music book will be $10.00, payable through your MyCBE account.

2. Select School based optional fees

3. Add Recorder to cart

4. Pay for fee

All ordering for recorders must be in and paid for prior to Friday, January 19, 2024, to ensure your child has a recorder for February.

The book that comes with the fee will stay at home for practicing and the recorder is to 'live in your backpack'.
