UPDATE
We hope you had a restful and wonderful Winter Break making lots of great memories. It was great to welcome students and staff back this week as we finish term one here at Copperfield School. Upon return, we reviewed school routines and with the new year upon us, the students set goals for the remainder of the year.
We are also approaching our report card deadline. Parents and guardians will have access to report cards on January 27 through MyCBE. Elementary school report cards communicate student achievement using teacher comments and achievement indicators on a four-point scale (4 – Excellent, 3 – Good, 2 – Basic, 1 – Not meeting). You can find more information in this document, “How is My Child Doing in school?”.
I wish all our Copperfield School Community a very Happy New Year and look forward to more amazing learning opportunities ahead.
Copperfield has heart!

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.

All ordering for recorders must be in and paid for prior to Friday, January 31, 2025, 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'.
