Dear Copper Creek Families,

Happy Mother's Day to all moms!

With just a couple of weeks remaining of the current school year, we would like applaud our

Bobcats for their continual hard work and for rising up to meet the many challenges of this school year.

We have one week left in the grading period and want to remind parents and students that all assignments must be completed prior to close of grades on May 14th. Please be sure to check PowerSchool for student progress and missing assignments.

This past week our PTSA celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week by honoring our teaching staff with daily treats and surprises. The teachers also received gifts and kind gestures from our Bobcat families which they truly appreciated! Thank You!

We would like to remind parents to visit the DVUSD parent communication page for the latest updates: https://www.dvusd.org/Page/66666. This includes an important upcoming update to the DVUSD Safety Plan.

Stay Safe and Go Bobcats!

K. McNeill, Principal

C. Myers, Dean

Our PTSA generously showered our teaching staff with awesome daily treats and surprises to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you PTSA!

We will be sending PowerSchools account information to parents/guardians who have been identified as not having a current PowerSchool parent/guardian account set up. Please be on the lookout for a letter from Copper Creek (via USPS mail), containing account set-up information.

If you have a current PowerSchools account and are not able to sign in, please email the registrar noelia.harris-mccarty@dvusd.org for assistance. Thank you.

Impact the Lives of DVUSD Students!

Your school tax credit donations can provide DVUSD students with opportunities to participate in after school and summer programs, field trips, music and athletic programs or any other extracurricular activity.

The Arizona tax credit program (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows a tax credit of up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples, filing jointly, in support of extracurricular activities. The Arizona tax credit reduces your tax burden to the state of Arizona, dollar for dollar. Please visit https://www.dvusd.org/Domain/2806 for ways to donate to DVUSD schools.

Thank you!
