News From Candice!

Hello Cougar Families!

As we wrap up another amazing school year, I want to thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust. It’s been a year full of growth, laughter, challenges, and so many moments to celebrate.

On a personal note, this has been a truly incredible first year as principal at Copper Mesa. I feel so fortunate to be part of such a kind, welcoming, and supportive school community. Your children have brought me so much joy, and it’s been an honor to lead alongside such a dedicated team of educators.

We are incredibly proud of your students—their resilience, kindness, and hard work have been inspiring. It’s a privilege to watch them learn and grow each day.

Wishing you a fun, restful, and safe summer! We’ll be excited to welcome everyone back in the fall for another great year at CME.

With gratitude,
Candice

EPR’S - You will soon be able to view your child’s final Elementary Progress Report (EPR) of the year. On Saturday, May 24th, our district will release EPR’s district-wide. To view your child’s EPR follow the directions below. I hope that 100% of EPR’s will be viewed. Your children have worked so hard this second semester, and I am sure that there is a lot to celebrate. The best way to understand their growth and accomplishments is to check out their EPR’s!

You will log in through the EngagED Parent Portal at engaged.dcsdk12.org. You will log in using the same username and password that you have created in Infinite Campus/Parent Portal, but please see the reminder below about the new format for your username.

PARENT PORTAL ACCOUNTS:

Late July, we will be sending out an email to announce who your student’s teacher will be. In order to find out this information you will need to sign into your parent portal EngagED account. Please make sure you can sign into your parent portal account before the end of this school year. Make sure you write down your username and password. There will be no one in the office to help you over the summer! Please contact the office with any questions before the end of the year!

LIBRARY:

It's hard to believe but the end of the year is quickly approaching! The end of the year means all library books are due back to the library. I will be sending reminder emails for overdue books to your email address on file. All books not turned in by the end of the year will automatically be charged to your student's My School Bucks account. If you do not receive an email from the CME Library you can rest assured your child's books are turned in:-)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Allison Troxel
