Families,

Please ensure you read the email sent from Principal Barrow on Tuesday, August 16th with vital information regarding back to school, and required forms.


Digital Resources at Cooper Middle School

Parent Action Required

Some of the digital resources your child may use this year require parental consent.  These tools have been carefully reviewed to ensure that they align with the FCPS Learning Model and FCPS conducts the same technical evaluations for all products that use student information.  Our teachers plan to integrate these tools to provide an engaging learning environment for all students. Not all students will use every program listed, still, please provide permission in the event a teacher uses the platform to support the curriculum being taught. 

Please view the information on the adopted digital resources on our Cooper website (https://cooperms.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources) no later than Monday, August 22nd.  Please follow this link, on or after August 10th, and follow the provided directions to provide your parental consent for each child in your family. Parental consent for digital resources needs to be given annually.
