FOSS Kit Science - Looking for Donations
As most of you are aware, our science curriculum is comprised of hands-on, interactive kits that cover different modules throughout the year. Most of the materials in the kits get reused every year. Some of the materials get replenished by the district. However, some of the items (household items) are the responsibility of the teacher to replenish. We would be so grateful if you could pick up an item from this list to donate to our kits! To make sure we don't get an overload of kidney beans, we've created a SignUp Genious for donations. Donations can be brought into the school office at any time. Just let us know that you are making a FOSS Kit donation! Science is very important to us here at Copper Canyon, so thank you for considering! Here is the link to the FOSS KIT DONATION SIGN-UP

Welcome from Mrs. Erickson, Social Emotional Learning Specialist
Dear Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself! My name is Kirstie Erickson and I am the new Social Emotional Learning Specialist. I am so excited to be part of the Copper Canyon Elementary family; already it is so apparent how close-knit and welcoming the Copper Canyon community is, I feel very lucky to be part of it!
My passion for social emotional learning began during my time as a teacher in the CABS program (Choices that Affect Behavioral Success) at Eagle Ridge Elementary School where I have taught for the past 9 years. I truly learned so much from my students. What I love most about the elementary level is the genuine curiosity students have in their learning and the world around them, as well as the opportunity for early intervention support that can have a lifetime positive impact on a child.
As an SEL specialist, my primary responsibility is to promote the academic and social/emotional development of all students. I look forward to offering support to the Copper Canyon students, staff, families, and community. I will be meeting with students individually, in small groups, and conducting classroom lessons that will focus around skills for learning, empathy, emotion management, and problem solving. I will also be meeting with parents, and collaborating with teachers and staff, to benefit and meet the needs of all Copper Canyon students.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email me (kerickson@pvschools.net) at any time.
I am so excited to work with your children and get to know you throughout the school year!
All the best,
Kirstie Erickson M.Ed
Social Emotional Learning Specialist
