Bobcat Bulletin - FAMILY EDITION

🌟 Principal Message | May 18–22 🌟

Dear Copperfield Families,

It is hard to believe we are already nearing the end of another incredible school year! Our campus has been filled with so much excitement, celebration, and Bobcat pride these past few weeks. We have officially completed half of our Promotion & Awards Ceremonies, and we are looking forward to celebrating even more of our amazing students this week during our remaining ceremonies. 🎉

To help make arrival smooth and efficient for families attending, we kindly ask that you pre-print your visitor badge ahead of time if possible. This helps our front office move families through quickly so you do not miss a moment of your child’s special celebration. Please see the information below regarding badge printing and ceremony details.

We are also VERY excited for our upcoming visit from Dinosaur George on May 20th! 🦖 Our students are going to have an unforgettable experience learning about dinosaurs, fossils, and prehistoric life through this engaging presentation. The excitement around campus is already building!

As we enter these final weeks of school, I continue to be incredibly proud of our students, staff, and families. From academic growth and leadership opportunities to fun campus events and celebrations, our Bobcats continue to shine in so many ways. Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and encouragement throughout the school year.

Let’s finish the year strong together, Bobcats! 💙

Mrs. Amber Gonzales

May 12th – May 22nd

Due to Award Ceremonies taking place during this time, our campus will be CLOSED -

❌ No lunch visits with students will be allowed

✅ We appreciate your support as we celebrate our students' achievements!

Thank you for helping us keep our campus focused, safe, and celebratory during this special time.

🦖 Dinosaur George is Coming!

We are excited to welcome Dinosaur George to our campus soon! On Friday, order forms were sent home with students for families who may be interested in purchasing dinosaur-themed items and souvenirs connected to this exciting visit.

The order form includes a variety of fun options such as fossil replicas, shark teeth, dinosaur jewelry, crystals, and small collectible items at different price points.

If you are interested in making a purchase, please review the form sent home with your child and follow the instructions provided. Orders will be collected prior to the event.

This is a wonderful opportunity to extend the excitement of the experience and bring a piece of the learning home!

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to remind families that all student medications must be picked up from the clinic on or before the last day of school.

By law, medications cannot be sent home with students, and any medication not picked up will be disposed of.

If you have questions or need to arrange a pick‑up time, please contact our school nurse, Sandra Salyer, RN, at (210) 619‑0460.

Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and smooth end to the school year.

📚 Library Update

Hello Copperfield families!

Our library is currently missing 267 books, and we appreciate your help in locating them. Please continue to check at home and help your child return any outstanding books.

Toward the end of the week, notices will be sent home for any books that have not been returned.
⚠️ Please do not send money until you receive this notice.
We would much prefer to have the book returned rather than collect the replacement cost.

🌞 Summer Library Fun

The Molly Pruitt San Antonio Public Library has shared their exciting calendar of summer events! Located at 5110 Walzem Rd (just 6 miles from Copperfield Elementary), it’s a great resource for keeping your child engaged in reading all summer long.

I’d love to see you and your family there!

Language development begins long before children enter school, and every conversation, story, song, and game helps build strong communication skills for the future. Check out the flyer below for fun language milestones and simple ways families can support speech and language development at home for our youngest learners. Together, we can help our Bobcats grow strong voices and bright futures! 🌟
