Cyberpatriot team

Cooper CyberPatriot Team Places First in Virginia

Cooper CyberPatriot team Cougars One placed First in Virginia in the semi-final of the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense competition. In the state round, they placed 2nd out of 39 Virginia middle school teams, and 33rd out of 749 national middle school teams.  In Round 1, they placed 10th out of 800 teams!  The team is comprised of four 8th graders; Arnav Kadam, Ethan Zhang, Jonathan Liu, Kevin Shan and two 7th graders; Grant Peterson, and Lucas Marschoun. This is an enormous accomplishment for the team's first year competing in this challenge.


Registration is now open for Summer Boot Camps and Cooper Prep

Langley Pyramid art show

Call for keys - our art teacher needs keys!  If you have unused keys cluttering a drawer, please have your student bring them to Room 118.


School Environment Survey-Please respond

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is studying how school environments relate to discipline practices in the Division. As part of the study, you will receive a survey from FCPS’ Office of Research and Strategic Improvement.  A small number of classrooms will also participate in the study’s student survey. The surveys are designed to help FCPS understand your and your child’s thoughts about the school environment and how discipline is approached in their school.

We encourage you to participate in this important survey to help FCPS understand what is working well and where we can improve.
