Can you believe that it is June? Where did the time go? We have had a wonderful year and would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your shared commitment towards student success! Copeland students and staff work hard every day to ensure that our best efforts are put forth and expectations are reached. As we “lead up” to the end of this school year, we ask that families continue to support our students to stay engaged in their learning, balance healthy lifestyles and continue to be successful in their academics throughout these next few weeks. Acknowledging that staff are finalizing assessments, we can expect that our students continue to try their very best! Transitions are a big part of June. We help our grade 5 Coyotes plan for middle school and support our incoming grade 1 French immersion students for September. We also welcomed our new kindergarten friends during "Start with a Smile" for their 2017-2018 year. Finally, our SK students begin to have recess on the big field with the rest of the pack! As administrators, we are so proud of all of the transitions in and out of Copeland and are always here to support every child on their path.

Three steps to quality summer child care for your child
If you have a school-age child, finding summer child care can be a real challenge. But you can follow
these three simple steps to help you choose a program that’s best for your family. It will mean a
summer full of fun and learning for your child—and peace of mind for you.
Step 1 Call Child Care Info Peel
905-890-9432 or 1-888-836-5550
Child care experts provide specific information about summer camps and other child care providers
in your neighbourhood. They can answer your questions and give you information to help you choose
the program that’s right for your family.
It’s a good idea to call the info line early to give yourself enough time to investigate potential
programs and make your decision before the program fills up.
Step 2 Schedule an appointment to meet with the program director or to speak over the phone, so that you
can get more information about the program. If possible, visit the program or the facility in which it will
be held. The more information you have, the better you will be able to decide if this program is a
good "fit" for your child and your family.
Step 3 When you are checking out summer programs, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions—it’s the best
way to make sure you have all the information you need. In general, you will want to ask questions
about the program, staff, health and safety practices, food provided, and costs.
For more information, call Child Care Info Peel or visit www.cdrcp.com/ccip.html.
Copeland PS recognizes Crossing Guard Appreciation Day on June 13th
Copeland PS, alongside the Peel Board, encourages students, parents and
staff to take a moment to thank the neighbourhood crossing guards that help
ensure a safe journey to and from school for thousands of students every
day. That's something to howl about!
