Coppard Glen students took an active part in creating our school crest. The crest proudly incorporates four symbols, representing the varied aspects of school life. In celebration of 30 years, and in recognition of who we are as a school community, we have updated the means of our crest. Our school is part of York Region. First Nations people have been living on the land now called York Region for thousands of years. The First Nation peoples and the settlers who arrived here made promises to share this land. These promises are called treaties - in what we now call York Region, there is Treaty 13 and the Williams Treaties. Treaties teach us that all who live here should be respectful of one another. They also teach us that the land is our responsibility. All of nature, the earth, the waters, the plants, the animals are important to Indigenous peoples. Treaties remind us that we must care for mother earth to keep her healthy for those who will live here in the future. 

The book represents the book of knowledge and the pursuit of personal levels of academic success. We recognize the lived experiences and the diversity of knowledge and thought that contributes to our learning community and we are committed to teaching and learning in culturally relevant and responsive ways that affirm the identities of all. We recognize that academic success looks, sounds and feels different for each of our unique learners.  

The dove connotes peace. Collectively, we recognize the need to respect one another, to understand and respect differences and each unique individual that makes up our school community and to care for and live together in harmony. Kindness matters at all times. We recognize the importance of mental health and wellbeing and the impact that it has on our daily lives. As a school community, we will continue to prioritize positive mental health and wellbeing of all. 

The shooting star acknowledges the importance of goal setting and that our students are always reaching for the stars. As we learn and grow, we do so with a growth mindset, hold each other accountable, choose to do what is right and support each other as we work towards our goals.

The hand raised in victory, reflects the success our students achieve when they strive for excellence. We believe that all students are capable of achieving their personal levels of excellence, both academically and socially and, as a school community, and in partnership with families, we are a team that encourages, reflects and supports along the way.
