1) Don’t block all access to technology. Help your child learn to use tech safely and positively.

2) Take an interest in your child’s favorite apps or sites. Co-view or co-create at times.

3) Be the parent. You’re in charge. Set boundaries and consider using filtering software.

4) Create a family media agreement with tech free zones such as cars, bedrooms, and meals.

5) Teach your child what personal information they should not reveal online (YAPPY acronym).

6) Help your child learn to filter information online and navigate fact from fiction.

7) Navigate digital dilemmas with your child. Avoid using devices as rewards or punishments.

8) Balance green time and screen time at home. Focus on basic developmental needs

9) Don’t support your child to sign up for sites with age restrictions (e.g. 13+) if they’re underage.

Fifth-grade students and their parents invited to maturation program

UPDATE • THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED

As a preventive measure, in alignment with recommendations by health authorities who are working to control the spread of COVID-19, we have postponed all fifth-grade Maturation Programs. We hope to be able to reschedule these events or arrange to videotape the presentations and share it with parents through a password-protected link. Once we’ve finalized our contingency plans, we’ll send an email with further instructions to all fifth-grade families.

…

It’s difficult to know who has more trepidation about discussing health and the maturation process, pre-teens or their parents. But while growing up can be hard, talking about it needn’t be. To help you rock “the talk,” Canyons School District has developed an informational maturation program for fifth-grade students and their parents. Presentations conducted by the professional speaker Carrie Ann Kemp have been scheduled through the month of March. All parents are encouraged to attend these free events with their children, and to choose which date best fits their schedules, so that they can continue the discussion in their homes. Please follow this link for event locations and times.

Dear Copperview Community,

January was a wonderfully full month at Copperview Elementary. We enjoyed fabulous learning opportunities each day, and actually celebrated our 100th day in school. As I’ve considered all that occurred in January, I’m reminded about the power of our families and community in supporting these precious children. Our day without water (January 15), was further testament about the commitment of our families and community. I was so impressed to witness the sacrifices and flexibility of our staff, students and community. It reminded me of the focus on celebration that we’ve been striving to live at Copperview, realizing “there’s far more right with the world than there is wrong with it”.

Other January experiences involved family and community engagements: monthly Student of the Month, Family Math Night, and Moms Matter. As we continue to work together in supporting this next generation of leaders, we can accomplish great things.

Please join us for additional activities in coming months, including . . .
                  – Kindness Week – February 10-14
                  – Penny Wars – Beginning February 18
                  – All Pro Dads – February 21
                  – Parent Teacher Conferences – February 26 & 27 (Don’t miss the parent portal to sign-up!)
                  – Literacy Night – March 3

As always, please know how grateful we are to work with you and your students at Copperview Elementary. I encourage everyone to continue to see the world based on possibilities and celebrate the best in it.

Principal, Jeri Rigby
