Good evening, Coppergate Families:
We were so excited to see our Colts this morning! They did a wonderful job coming into school and making their way to class.
At the beginning of each school year, we have an increase in car ridership since families want to drive their students to school the first few mornings. In addition, we have new families joining us as we continue to grow. Everyone’s safety is our top priority. Please follow the directions of our staff. We will get you where you need to go.
During the first week of school, arrival and dismissal will take longer than normal. We take special care to make sure our students unload and get into school safely. In the afternoons, we check multiple times to make sure students are taking the correct form of transportation (bus, car, walker, etc.). Please make sure your child’s teacher knows how they are getting home and submit all changes in transportation in writing to cge-frontoffice@myoneclay.net. Please be patient with our staff and our other families. We are working carefully to ensure students get home safely and the correct way.
I want to share a brief update on the ongoing issue with the Chipmunk app. We know these disruptions have created challenges for families. I want to reassure you that this is not unique to Clay County; other districts that utilize the app are experiencing the same issues.
Our Transportation Department has voiced our concerns directly to the vendor and is actively working with them to resolve the problem. As part of those efforts, the Bus Planner system will undergo a full reset tonight at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to resolve the issue.
We look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow!

Dismissal takes longer than normal at the beginning of the year. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Also, the Chipmunk app provides parents of bus riders with alerts and tracking ability to know if their student's bus is running late. We encourage families to download the NEW Caly Schools app for access to this great feature.
If you have not picked up your car tags, we will be available in the main office until 12:00 pm today. If you do not pick-up your car tag by then, you will need to park your car and come into the building during dismissal with a government-issued ID. We will not put children in cars without car tags.
STARTING TODAY! ✏️📒🎒The Sales Tax Holiday begins on August 1st and runs through August 31st! Consumers can purchase qualifying back-to-school supplies exempt from tax during the 2025 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday.

Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, the Clay County District Schools Transportation Department will implement a new opt-in registration process and a bus tracking program to enhance the safety, visibility, and efficiency of our transportation services.
This new system will help us accurately identify students who need transportation and support the development of more efficient bus routes as our county continues to grow. We understand that transitioning to new systems, including a new app, may require some adjustments. However, your cooperation is essential in ensuring we continue to provide safe and reliable transportation for all students. During this transition, please note that if your child is moving to a new school, has changed their address, or is enrolled in a Summer School Program, registration will not be available until the third week of July.
Please also be aware that students who live within 2 miles of their zoned school are not eligible for bus transportation unless a district-approved hazard has been identified. Florida Statutes and Rules: 6A-3, 1006.23, and 1011.68.
If you believe your child qualifies for a hazard exemption, please complete the necessary form at sdcc.mybusplanner.com.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Clay County District Schools Transportation Department by emailing routing@myoneclay.net or calling 904-336-0001, option 2.
Thank you for supporting student transportation!
Register today to ensure a smooth start to the new school year!

📣 Welcome to our Summer Social Media Series!
📸✨ All season long, we’ll be sharing stories, photos, and moments that reflect the heart of our school—and what it truly means to keep growing together. ✨🌱
As we look ahead to the new school year, our work at Coppergate will be rooted in three big beliefs:
💚 Every child can grow
🎨 Creativity helps kids flourish
🤝 We grow together as a school family
These beliefs will guide everything we do—from instruction and the arts to how we support one another each day.
🌟 Stay tuned! In the coming posts, we’ll dive deeper into what each belief means for our school community and how they’ll come to life in 2025–2026.
Let’s keep growing, Coppergate!
