From the Principal
The school year is quickly coming to a close, and the last round of STAAR testing is upon us. Please encourage your children to do their very best and express our belief in them. The teachers have prepared them well, and our Colts will shine! There are no visitors allowed on May 14th, 15th, and 16th due to testing. Thanks for your understanding.
Kindergarten Orientation will be Thursday, May 17th at 9:15. We are so excited to welcome our newest Colts! Our VIPS Appreciation Brunch will be Friday, May 18th at 9:00 in our library. We love our volunteers and look forward to seeing you all.
We have an amazing staff at Copeland Elementary, and we will be honoring them during our Staff Appreciation Week May 21st - May 25th. Please take a moment to write a note of appreciation for all they do for our Colts.
Encourage your child to be on their best behavior to earn as much lead loot at they can as our end-of-year raffle is quickly approaching! Students will be able to use their lead loot to buy raffle tickets to win some great prizes.
We will end our year with some wonderful activities. Our 3rd grade team, assisted by some awesome volunteers, are thrilled to be hosting our first Multicultural Day on May 24th. On May 29th at 9:00 a.m., some of our former Colts will soon be graduating from high school and will return to walk the Copeland halls one last time in their caps and gowns. That evening, our 5th grade Recognition will be held at Langham Creek High School at 6:00 p.m. There is excitement in the air for a Talent Show which will be held in our cafeteria on May 31st. Our 5th graders are thrilled to have a Fun Day sponsored by 5th grade parents on May 31st at 11:30. All parents of 5th graders are welcome to attend. Our end-of-year parties will be held on the last day of school, June 1st. Wow! What a busy ending to a great school year!

Attention Parents!
From the Nurse
Dear Parents,
As we are nearing the end of the school year please make arrangements to retrieve your student's medication from the clinic any time by 3:30pm on Friday, June 1st, 2018. Please call the clinic if you need to make other arrangements. Any medication left in the clinic after that time will be discarded!
The District's policy on transportation of medication states: ALL MEDICATION shall be brought to the clinic by the parent or guardian or by another responsible adult and shall be secured there at all times. This includes over the counter medications and cough drops. When the period for administering the medication has expired, the parent, guardian or another responsible adult shall retrieve the medication from the clinic. I appreciate your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
Chris Cheves RN, BSN
