Dear Copperview Families,
We look forward to seeing our parents and families at Parent Teacher Conferences this Wednesday, March 2 and Thursday, March 3. Thursday will be an early out day, students will be released at 1:40pm. Friday, March 4 there is no school. If you did not sign-up for a conference time on ParentSquare, you will receive a letter from your child’s teacher of your assigned date and time. Make sure to visit the Media Center during Parent Teacher Conferences for the Book Fair that benefits our Copperview PTA. In the gymnasium all LOST and FOUND items will be displayed on tables. The Tyler Library, additional resources and ParentSquare support will also be in the gym during conferences.
This month we’re celebrating literacy! Read Across America Week is February 28 – March 3. Each grade has chosen a book for their students to read and eventually take home. Tuesday, March 8 and Thursday, March 10 volunteers are invited to join classrooms for fun literacy activities that are linked to their new books. Register to volunteer at this LINK. Last week, students brought home a reading calendar. Keep track of the minutes your student reads and turn it in at the end of the month for a chance at some really cool prizes provided by our Copperview PTA.
Make sure to check out two awesome opportunities to support our school: The Penny Pride Fundraiser and Copperview Career Day!
PENNY PRIDE - March 1 -15
Copperview’s annual fundraiser to raise money for school field trips.
HOW IT WORKS: Each grade level has their own jar for collecting money. Gain points by adding pennies and dollars to your grade level jar. Subtract points from other grades by adding silver coins to their jars. Grade levels compete to see who has the most positive points in their jars by March 15th!
COPPERVIEW CAREER DAY - March 18
WE NEED YOU! Come share your career with our students at our Career Day. Grades 1 – 5 This is a great opportunity for the students to “show-off” their parents/family members and learn about new careers!

- Those interested please visit this REGISTRATION LINK
- Interpreters will be available for those that request them.

Did you know that March is National Women’s History Month?
What a great time to head to the library and check out some biographies or autobiographies of famous women! You can also find some great biographies on the National Women’s History Museum website. Take some time to read these with your kiddos and learn about some amazing women. Keep up the good work with reading!!
Digital Citizenship
Parents know firsthand the impact a poor night’s sleep has on kids. Lack of sleep can contribute to crankiness, problems with attention and learning, behavior issues, and even health problems such as obesity. Though the reasons for poor sleep vary, there’s growing evidence that media and technology interfere with bedtime routines and sleep.
