From the Principal
The Superintendent's Fun Run is set for Saturday and it's supposed to be a beautiful day. Even if you're not running or walking, this is a great community event at the Berry Center. I hope you'll take part.
Thank you for your continued support of Copeland. We are better together!

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.
