Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 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 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 for many. I am committed as an educator to ensuring that all of my students will learn in a safe environment. We are an International Baccalaureate candidate school, so we aim to do more than other curricula by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed. I am extremely ready to embark on this new adventure and I know that we will have a terrific   school year!
