IMPORTANT reminders from Cooper Middle School

Students who are transported by car to and from Cooper must be dropped off and picked up at the designated area in the rear of the building by the Quad.  Students must not be dropped in any other location.  The safety of our students is paramount.

When leaving a message about your child's absence, please include a detailed explanation of the absence.  Phone messages that don't identify a clear reason for the absence will be recorded as unexcused.


Cooper Cafeteria Funds

Please remember to add money to your child’s school nutrition account.  All accounts must be brought current before the end of the school year in June.
