Return to School Town Hall Feb. 17th at 9:15AM

Join the Cooper Middle Administrators for a Town Hall to discuss the Return to School plan. Please RSVP with your interest in order to receive the meeting link. If your schedule does not allow you to attend during this time, the meeting will be recorded and posted for you to view at your convenience. 


Office Hours & Academic Supports

We want to remind our students and families about the variety of supports available to foster academic success. As we continue to navigate distance learning and prepare for concurrent instruction, we encourage students to connect with their teachers during office hours.  All teachers have office hours during block 4 from 9:35-10:25, and one day after school (either Tuesday or Thursday from 2:30-2:30).  Students can find the list of their teachers after school office hours in the “Office Hours & Tech Support” class and is also on the website here.  Office hours are a great opportunity for students to connect with their teachers, ask questions, and get academic support.
