Bobcat Bulletin - FAMILY EDITION

Dear Copperfield Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope your summer was filled with rest, laughter, and meaningful time with loved ones. We are thrilled to open our doors once again and welcome our students back for another exciting year of learning, growth, and connection.

At Copperfield Elementary, we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Our staff is energized and ready to “Level Up” as we continue our commitment to academic excellence, strong relationships, and a positive school culture.

This year, we’ll be focusing on collaboration, communication, and consistency—working hand-in-hand with our families to ensure every student thrives. We know that when schools and families work together, amazing things happen.

Please keep an eye out for important information in our weekly newsletters, social media updates, and school events. Meet the Teacher, family engagement nights, and many more exciting activities are just around the corner!

We’re grateful to have you as a partner in your child’s educational journey and look forward to an outstanding year ahead.

With Bobcat pride,
Amber Gonzales
Principal, Copperfield Elementary

Copperfield’s Meet the Teacher event is just around the corner on Monday, August 11th! 🎉

To ensure your child is placed in a class and ready to meet their teacher, all students must be fully enrolled by Wednesday, August 6th.

Students who are not fully enrolled by the deadline will not be assigned a teacher and will not appear on a class list at Meet the Teacher.

Please log in to your Parent Portal as soon as possible to complete registration. Need help? Contact our front office—we’re happy to assist! Or email rmontez@judsonisd.org.

We want to ensure all families are aware of our updated daily schedule for this school year:

🕖 Doors Open: 7:00 AM

📚 Instruction Begins: 7:30 AM (students are expected to be in their classrooms ready to learn!)

🛎️ Dismissal: 2:50 PM

🚨 Please note: This is a change from previous years—dismissal is now at 2:50 PM instead of 3:00 PM.

Thank you for helping us start and end the day smoothly by arriving on time and making note of this new dismissal time. We’re looking forward to a great year ahead!

To ensure the safety of all students, please review the following procedures for morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal:

Morning Drop-Off – Begins at 7:00 AM

🔹 Parent Drop-Off:

• Drop-off is in front of the school only.

• Do not park and leave your car in the loop – this blocks traffic and slows the line.

• No drop-off is allowed in the back bus loop.

🔹 Student Entry Locations:

• Walkers, parent drop-off, and bike riders enter through the front of the school.

• Bus riders will enter through the cafeteria.

• Pre-K students must be walked up and dropped off at the library doors.

• No students should be dropped off in the parking lot. If you park, you must walk your child to the crosswalk for their safety.

Afternoon Dismissal – Begins at 2:50 PM

🚨 Please note: Dismissal is now at 2:50 PM, not 3:00 PM.

1️⃣ Pre-K Pickup:

• All Pre-K students will be picked up at the front of the school.

2️⃣ Car Riders:

• If you are in the car line, please remain in your vehicle.

• Students will be called from the gym and brought to your car.

• Have your Car Rider Sign visible to help us move the line quickly.

3️⃣ Walk-Up Parents (Parking Lot):

• Parents who park and walk up will now pick up students from the front of the school.

• Line up along the rock wall on the sidewalk with your Student Pick-Up Sign ready.

4️⃣ Adventure Club Pickup:

• Students in Adventure Club will be picked up from the cafeteria.

• Do not pass any buses to pick up your child.

• For safety, students will not be released until all buses have exited.

5️⃣ Walkers & Bike Riders:

• Will be escorted by staff to the corner and safely crossed by our campus crosswalk team.

We appreciate your patience and support in following these procedures to keep every Bobcat safe and secure! 💙
