This month we are focusing on ACCOUNTABILITY. Our students are learning that being accountable for yourself means taking responsibility for your words, actions, and how you correct your mistakes. When you are accountable for your choices, you correct your mistakes in a respectful manner and learn from them. Please have conversations with your child about how they can be accountable at Copeland, at home, and in the community. We are so proud of our Colts for 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.

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.
