Coppin Connection Welcome Back!!!!
August 14, 2019
Welcome Back Info
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! Summer is the time to rest, renew and reboot for an amazing school year! I hope you all are ready for a spectacular year ahead! I’d like to welcome our new families to the Coppin Community. I hope that you feel right at home here. And welcome back to our returning families. Our school community working together to support our students and staff is what makes Coppin so special! Roll up your sleeves and jump right in! We want to hear from you about what is going well and what we can continue to improve upon. I encourage you to be a part of our school community any way you can!
Drinking Fountains: Thanks to the support of our community, 2 new drinking fountains were purchased and are being installed this week. They even have a water bottle filling station! Look for them on the upper and lower grade playgrounds!
Portable Restrooms on the playground have been remodeled with new flooring and partitions!
New Staff Members:
We welcome Ms. Savannah Buchman to our third grade team!
We welcome Ms. Sheri Swank to the office as our new Clerk!
We will also welcome Ms. Michelle Marino as our Intervention Service Provider (ISP).
LOTS OF NEW STUDENTS AND FAMILIES: We are so happy you are here!
PTC Board Members: We are excited about our new members and look forward to a fun year!
Safety Protocols: District wide safety protocols have been adopted and put into practice.
Here’s what you need to know and remember:
Coppin is paperless! In an attempt to save our much needed paper resources, all of our weekly communication (think flyers for school events, etc…) will be sent to you electronically in a newsletter each week! The district uses a system called Peach Jar for our flyers. This will help us use our paper for student learning rather than for other things. We will also post everything on our website, Facebook page and school app for easy access as well. If you are not receiving emails, please be sure the office has your correct email address. This is incredibly important for communication.
ONLINE PORTAL FOR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION: The district will continue to use an online tool to help families keep emergency contacts up to date at school. You need to use your online account to enter the emergency contact information on your own and it will go directly to our computer system. Don’t worry, we will also print hard copies to keep in the office and in classrooms in case of emergencies. This process was challenging last year so please let us know if you need help. It is crucial that we have up to date emergency contact information for our students. If your information changes during the school year, please be sure you go online and update it our call the office and let us know.

Digital Safety and Social Media for our Students
This article may provide you with some background and tips for how you can continue to support safe use of technology at home. We encourage you to do your own research and closely monitor all access at home to help keep our students safe: Here is a link to a brief article you may want to read: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/viral-youtube-challenges-internet-stunts-popular-with-kids
Info
- School wide behavior: We have weekly lessons focusing on school wide behavior and our school wide rules: BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE! You can find the lessons we will be teaching on our school calendar on the website. Students will be taught the weekly lesson on Monday or Tuesday by their teacher. Check it out on the school calendar! In addition to the weekly lessons, students will also be recognized for doing their best by receiving Sparky Tickets or ROAR Tickets. Students are recognized for going above and beyond to be safe, responsible or respectful and can earn special prizes and privileges for their Tickets.
- SCHOOL SHOUT OUTS! Every day we give shout outs to our students staff during our morning announcements. Students and staff can write a special note of appreciation to recognize someone on campus for their support. We have a shout out box for parents in the office if you would like to recognize someone on campus, let us know!
- Attendance Matters: Please drop-off students on-time and avoid checking them out early, if possible. Late drop-offs and early pick-up causes disruptions in the classroom and to your child's learning. If your child is LATE, you will need to walk them into the office and sign them in.
Good To Know
- BUCKLE UP: We've gotten many reports that our precious students may not be properly buckled in when getting dropped off and picked up from school. Current California Law States:
Children under 2 years of age shall ride in a rear-facing car seat unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds OR is 40 or more inches tall. The child shall be secured in a manner that complies with the height and weight limits specified by the manufacturer of the car seat. (California Vehicle Code Section 27360.)
Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat.
Children who are 8 years of age OR have reached 4’9” in height may be secured by a booster seat, but at a minimum must be secured by a safety belt. (California Vehicle Code Section 27363.)
Passengers who are 16 years of age and over are subject to California's Mandatory Seat Belt law.

- Dogs on Campus: We love our furry friends but please keep them off campus. If you are walking your children to school with your dogs, please say your good-byes before you step on to campus. Not everyone loves dogs and it can be scary for some. We appreciate you keeping your four-legged babies off of school grounds. Thank you!
- Did you know our Student Handbook has been updated? You can find it on our website here: http://ccces.wpusd.org/Parents/Student-Handbook/index.html
- Choir meets every Monday from 1:50-2:50
- Please remember that supervision for students begins at 7:45am. There is no supervision for students prior to that. Please plan your mornings accordingly, we want our students to be safe!

Parking & Drop Off
Please note that parking is at a premium, particularly now that we have so many new families who joined us this fall. If you are arriving early and waiting with your child in your car, please consider parking along the street to ensure our staff can find parking when they arrive.
Entering Campus
If you are walking your child onto campus and plan to go past the big, black gate, you must sign in at the front office and obtain a visitor badge to be on campus. Remember to sign out when you leave as well. This helps us to account for everyone that is on campus.
