It is time for Cooper's Annual Field Day! This school wide event can not happen without the help from the parents! Please review the list of events and choose which one you would like to help run. If you have any questions please reach out and contact me, Kristin Sandridge, kmsandridge@fcps.edu. Thanks for your help!

Paper copies of report cards will be distributed through Block 8 on Thursday, June 15. Additionally, a PDF will be posted in ParentVue.

*Note dismissal will be at 9:45am.
End of Year Medication Pick-up
As the end of our school year approaches, please be reminded that all medications kept in the Health Room must be picked up by the end of the school year. Per FPCS regulations, any medications that remain in the Health Room after close of business on the last day of school must be destroyed. Medications must be picked up by a parent. Please sign in at the main office.
All medications must be picked up by 9:45am, June 16th.
Please contact School Health Aide, Jen McLarty, with any questions.
High School Credit Courses
High school credit-bearing courses will be reflected on the middle and high school transcripts. In accordance with Virginia state regulations, FCPS Regulation 2408 permits parents of students who take a high school credit-bearing course in middle school to request that the grade be omitted from the student's high school transcript and the student not earn high school credit for the course. Parents must make this request no later than the end of the first nine weeks of the school year following completion of the course. The request to expunge as well as guidelines and the procedures for expunging grades for high school courses taken in middle school can be found at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/is104.pdf Contact your student’s counselor with any questions.
