Late Arrivals to School - Unexcused Tardies
We have noticed a considerable increase in the number of students who arrive late to Cooper via parent drop off. When students are late, they miss valuable class instruction. Beginning in the third quarter, students who are late to school (unexcused) three times within the quarter will meet with staff, and be assigned an after-school detention for any subsequent tardy. As a reminder, Kiss and Ride opens at 7:00 each morning. *Students who ride the school bus are excused tardy if there is a bus delay.*
Calendar Reminders
- Thursday, Jan. 25 - End of 2nd Quarter- 2-hour early release. No After School clubs!

Thursday, January 25, is the last day of the quarter and a two-hour early release for students. Also, schools are closed for students on Friday, January 26, for a teacher work day. See the complete school year calendar.
2nd Semester Schedules
Monday, January 29th marks the start of the 2nd semester of the 2023-2024 school year. Some of our students will begin new semester electives for the 2nd half of the school year. In addition, some QSTs (Block 10) change as well. Student schedules will be available in StudentVue and ParentVue at 4:00 PM on Friday, January 26th.
