Copper Beech Parent Update
Week of September 18, 2023
Principal's Message
Dear Families,
I hope your child had a fantastic first full week back to school! This past week, students have already learned many of the expectations and routines and were quite busy engaging in their lessons. I watched as students worked hard during their math lessons, joined in open discussions, and practiced solving challenging math problems. They learned their center routines, participated in small group instruction, and worked on their i-Ready learning. It made me quite proud to see their smiles as they took on challenges this past week and were excited to learn new things. Thank you for being our partners as we work together to help your children achieve their fullest potential this school year. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Best regards,
Ms. Stokes
