Good Afternoon Coopers Families! Thank you for supporting our school with the Candy Man fundraiser. Please be sure to turn in all money and orders on Monday. Our 3rd grade parents are invited to a parent night on Thursday @5:30. Other grade levels will have parent information nights coming up soon. This week school will be dismissed at 1:00 on Friday. We continue to have a great start to our year. Please be reminded that all car students need to be dropped off in the carline. Also - bus riders need to have a parent at the bus stop everyday. Our instruction begins at 8:00 and continues until 3:00. Please try to avoid tardies and early check outs as it disrupts learning for everyone. Thanks so much for your support - you are a vital part to our success! Have a great evening!

Parents of bus riders, please remember to have students at their assigned stops 10 minutes early in the mornings. Also, don't forget that district transportation policy requires that bus drivers can see an adult before dropping off elementary students in the afternoons. If an adult is not present, drivers will have to bring students back to the school.
