A Note from Ms. McNeill and Mrs. Myers
Dear Copper Creek Families,
Our AzM2 Testing went very well this past week. Students were able to concentrate with little to no interruption to test schedules. Thank you parents for adjusting appointment schedules during this valuable testing time.
If your child was unable to attend school on one or more days of testing this past week, we have scheduled AZM2 make-up sessions on the following Fridays:
- Friday, April 16 for Writing
- Friday April 23 for Reading
- Friday April 30 for Math
Copper Creek has received a School Safety & Wellness Grant from the Arizona Department of Education. This grant allows us to hire a licensed Social Work for the next two years. We only have a short period of time to fill this position, so please see the information below if you or someone you know is interested. Thank you for the support!
Please remember that DVUSD continues to follow Covid-19 mitigation efforts for all DVUSD campuses and activities, by students, staff and visitors. This includes wearing a mask while on campus. We thank you for your continued support in our efforts to keep our Copper Creek staff and families safe.
