Dear Families,
Just a friendly reminder those that RSVP'd to our Take Your Dad to School Day: Tailgate & Tackle Math event is happening on Friday, September 19th from 7:30–8:15 AM in the school parking lot!
Bring your breakfast, set up your tent and griddle, and don’t forget to wear your favorite team colors to show your spirit. Since we’ll be gathering in the parking lot, it may be crowded — please feel free to park in the grass when you arrive.
We can’t wait to see you for a morning of food, fun, and math!
On Tuesday, September 23rd, you will receive a physical preferences form. To ensure your preferences are recorded, please complete and return the physical Library Access Form that was sent home with your student. Students who do not return a completed form will automatically be assigned General Access, which permits them to check out materials.
Thank you for your understanding. Please contact the school office with any questions.
Angel Tree connects donors with children and families in need to ensure they receive new clothes and toys for Christmas. Donors "adopt an angel," receiving a child's wish list to purchase requested items, which are then distributed anonymously to make their holidays brighter. The program helps many children annually and is supported by community groups, businesses, and individuals in Clay County.
Create a Book Fair eWallet for your child NOW so they can shop cash-free, worry-free, and independently! It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds! Start here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/coppergateelementaryschool
