From the Principal
Our first round of STAAR testing is now complete. Thanks so much for ensuring that your children were well rested and had a great breakfast before the tests. Our fourth and fifth grade students gave the test their all, and we are so proud of them!
It is book fair time! Ms. Buchert will have many awesome selections for purchase in the library this week. Please come by for Family Night at the Book Fair on Wednesday, April 5th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. We would love to see you!
Pre-registration for incoming Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be April 11th. For the 2017 - 2018 school year, children entering prekindergarten must be four years old on or before September 1, 2017. Children entering kindergarten for the first time must be five years old on or before September 1, 2017. Due to Texas state law on age requirements, no exceptions will be made. We are so excited to welcome lots of new little Copeland Colts!
Thank you all for your support of Copeland Elementary!

Credit by Exam
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 at 281.856.1400 or kathryn.nomura@cfisd.net.
