News From Candice!

Hello Copper Mesa Community! I hope you are enjoying this spring weather. It’s so nice for our students to get outside to play in the sunshine. Our CMAS testing has had a great start thanks to our amazing AP, Ms. Andersen! Speaking for Ms. Andersen, this week is National Assistant Principal week, so give her a shout out when you see her! With 6 more weeks of school, we know there is a lot going on but we are movin’, and groovin’, and having fun here at CME. I have so much gratitude for you all!

Staffing Changes 25/26 - We have a few staffing shifts happening in our building, and we’re excited to share some updates with you!

First, we want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Osowski on her upcoming retirement! After 31 incredible years of teaching, we are so grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she’s made on our school community.

With her departure, there will be some movement within our staff:

Ms. Dunn will return to teaching Kindergarten.
Mrs. Troxel will be moving to a part-time role as she prepares to welcome her second grandbaby in August. She will continue to teach Library Literacy as a Specials class three days a week.
Mrs. Feinstein will be stepping into the role of our new Math Interventionist.
Ms. Higgins will be moving to teach 5th grade.
Mrs. DeLeon will be shifting to 2nd grade.

As a result of these changes, we will be hiring for both a 1st grade and a 6th grade teaching position. These job postings will be live shortly!

Thank you for your continued support during this time of transition!

PTO Spring Fundraiser - Our PTO has been so amazing in helping us raise funds to support our students over the years!
