From the Principal
Dear Copeland families,
Thank you so much for your generous support of our fall fundraiser. Sunday, October 9th, is the last day to place your online orders. I am happy to announce that we have exceeded our fundraising goal! We are continuing to raise money to replace the aging playground equipment. A shade canopy has already been ordered to cover the equipment to the side of the hardtop. We should see this shade canopy go up in the early spring.
We are super excited about our field days next week. Kindergarten and 3rd grade will have field days on Tuesday, October 11th at 8:40 and 12:40; 1st and 5th grade will have field days on Wednesday, October 12th at 8:40 and 12:40; and 2nd and 4th grade will have field days on Thursday, October 13th at 8:40 and 12:40. It is an outdoor event, so we will reschedule if the weather does not cooperate. It is such fun for all, and we would love to have you join us. Remember to send in your RSVP so you won’t miss any of the fun checking in at our front office. This is also a great opportunity to volunteer! Please be sure to check your email to see how you can help. If you did not receive an email about volunteering for field day, please contact your child's homeroom coordinator or classroom teacher.
We are excited about our field trips later this month. Our Life Skills students will be attending Dewberry Farms on October 18th. Our third and fifth grade students will be attending Nature Trails on October 20th and 21st. We can't wait to hear about all of their fun experiences and what they learn! We are so grateful to our PTO for helping us fund these amazing opportunities for our students.
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming student holidays. Students will not have school on October 24th, November 7th and 8th.
The end of the first nine weeks will be October 21st and report cards will be going home on October 27th. For students in grades 2-5, parents may access and monitor their grades through the Home Access Center. If you need help logging into your student's account, please call 281-897-4357.
Thanks for your continued support of Copeland! We are so grateful for our awesome students and their families.

PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions & Support
This month we are focusing on having integrity by being ACCOUNTABLE for ourselves and our actions in all areas of the building. Our students are learning that integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching them or when making the right choice even when it’s the hard choice to make. When we show integrity we are being respectful in our school and community. Please have conversations with your child about how they show integrity at Copeland and how they can show integrity at home and in the community. We are so proud of our Colts by showing they CARE by:
- Being Consistent
- Being Accountable
- Being Respectful
- Being Engaged
We appreciate your support in our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports in our school.

Students in grades K-5 will have four opportunities during the school year to use “credit-by-exam” to accelerate to another grade level. Students will only have one opportunity to test for each grade level considered.
To apply to take the test to skip kindergarten, a student must be 5 by September 1, and registered in a CFISD school. To apply to take the test to skip grade 1, a student must be 6 by September 1, and enrolled in a CFISD school.
Students who earn scores of 80% or better on each component of the credit-by-exam will qualify to advance one grade. Only one grade level may be “skipped” each year. No retests will be given.
If you are interested in getting more information about credit-by-exam, please contact the school counselor.
Clinic - Nurse Kane
Please do not send any medication, including cough drops, to school with your child. Per our district policy, all medication must be unopened, unexpired and brought by a parent to the clinic and signed in.
For Pre-K, Kinder & 1st grade students, please send a dry set of clothes daily in your child's backpack. The clinic needs donations of gently used pants in all sizes for girls/ boys and new, unopened underwear in all sizes.
