Important Weekly Update

Good Sunday Evening, 

Thank you everyone who was able to come in for Parent/Teacher interviews. I was wanting to follow up on Open Minds City Hall School. We are required to have several volunteers in order to run this program for the week. Please complete your security Clearances and get back to me asap with the date(s) you are able volunteer for. 

Open Minds City Hall School November. 27th - Dec. 1st

Campus Calgary / Open Minds is an innovative school program that brings the classroom to vibrant community settings. Teachers, students and community experts come together for a week-long curriculum-based experience, designed to meet the needs of each individual learner. The result is a catalyst for learning activities throughout the year that inspire and prompt critical thinking and problem solving. More information will be provided closer to the date of our experience. In preparation for this week-long experience, it will be imperative that we have enough volunteers for each day. Please at your earliest convenience, make sure you have your security clearance with the CBE up to date.

This week is Truth and Reconciliation week. Our class will be taking part in a variety of assemblies and activities to support our learning. Please ask your child throughout what Truth and Reconciliation means to them and why it is an important week of learning.

  Welcome to the 2023/2024 school year! I am pleased to introduce myself as your child’s grade five teacher. My name is Mrs. Emily MacQueen and this will be my twelfth year with the CBE and second year at Copperfield School.  Previously, I worked in other schools within the CBE and boards within Alberta. I am a passionate teacher who strives to make learning fun and rewarding! This year, unlike others, will be a memorable one! I look forward to working with you to ensure a safe and caring learning experience for your child. First Days of School:   During the first few weeks of school, I will be learning about your child, both personally and academically. As building relationships will be of utmost importance within our cohort classroom among students and myself, we will be spending time getting to know one another in order to build a cohesive classroom community. I will be learning about who your child is, how they learn and what level your child is at, in order to best support them in
