Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! I am excited to welcome my students and support them as they begin this new second grade journey with me. Here at Copeland we remain steadfast in our continued commitment to academic excellence. The beginning of the year can be an exciting, but we must acknowledge that the current culture and climate in our nation also make the beginning of the school year a time filled with concern and fear of many. I am commited as an educator to ensure that all of my students will learn in a safe environment. We are a International Baccalaureate candiate school so we aim to do more than other curricula by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succed. I am extremely ready to embark on this new adventure and I know that we will have a terrific remainder of the school year!
