UPDATE
It has been another great week of learning at Copperfield School. We just finished our first week of Read-A-Thon. This week we have had the pleasure of having numerous readers from the community come in to read to our students and celebrate the value of reading. We look forward to welcoming more guest readers in again next week. The funds raised will go towards purchasing resources to support our literacy program and decodable books. We thank you in advance for your support.
We look forward to hosting School Conferences. These meetings are a key component of our reporting process to parents/guardians. The February Report Card was an opportunity for parents and guardians to receive graded information about their child in relation to the program of studies at the end of Term 1. The March conference is an opportunity for teachers to share learning progress with families and highlight key next steps in the learning progression for the remainder of Term 2. Parents and guardians will book their 15-minute conference time on-line using their MyCBE Account.
School conferences will be held on March 19 and 20, 2026. Conference Bookings will begin online through your MyCBE account starting March 12 at 6pm. Once the conference is booked, parents and guardians should receive an email confirming the scheduled interview time.
