Copperfield Bobcat Parent Bulletin

Dear Bobcat Parents,

We have officially completed the end of the first nine weeks, and what a wonderful start to the school year it has been! Thank you to all of our families for participating in parent conferences with your child's teacher. Your partnership and involvement play a vital role in supporting student success socially, emotionally, and academically.

We believe that when schools and families work together, students thrive. Thank you for your continued support, trust, and collaboration. We are here for you and look forward to a successful year filled with growth and achievement for every student!

In partnership,

Ms. Tricia Davila

Principal, Copperfield Elementary School

Our first grade students became scientists during a hands-on heat lab as they investigated what happens when soap is exposed to heat. Before testing, students made predictions and recorded their observations. They discovered that heat can change the shape and texture of soap, helping them better understand how materials respond to temperature changes. It was exciting to see their curiosity and scientific thinking in action!

In Mrs. Hochstetter's Art Class, Mrs. Witherspoon's 4th graders had fun working collaboratively exploring shapes and lines .

Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

To help ensure your child receives their lunch on time, please drop off any lunches from home at least 30 minutes before your child's scheduled lunch period. This allows our staff enough time to label, sort, and deliver lunches to students before they arrive in the cafeteria.

We appreciate your cooperation and support in helping us make lunchtime run smoothly for all students.

Thank you for your understanding and partnership.

We're excited to partner with H-E-B as they prepare for their grand opening of their new store at I-10 and 1604 E. on October 28th! On Friday, October 16th from 7:00-7:30 a.m., the H-E-B Buddy and store managers will be on campus to welcome students, share smiles, and help build excitement for the new store opening. Be sure to stop by and say hello during morning arrival!

Our Storybook Character Parade will take place on October 30th at 8:00 a.m., and we can't wait to see our students bring their favorite book characters to life as we celebrate a love of reading and creativity. Students should wear school-appropriate costumes inspired by a favorite book character, and for safety reasons, costumes may not include masks, weapons, inflatable outfits, or anything that obstructs movement or visibility.

Our annual Storybook Character Parade is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it extra special for our students! We are kindly asking each family to consider donating one bag of individually wrapped candy for our parade celebration.

Please send your candy donation to school in your child's backpack and have them give it to their classroom teacher. Your generosity helps ensure that all students can enjoy a fun and memorable event.

Thank you for supporting our Bobcats and helping bring our favorite storybook characters to life!
