Coopers Elementary School

Good Evening, Bulldogs, This is Mrs. Land, the proud Principal of Coopers Elementary School. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our Open House and took the time to meet your child’s teacher. Effective communication between school and home is vital to your child’s success, and your participation means a lot. Tomorrow marks an emotional day for many. We'll see plenty of smiles and hear laughter echoing through our halls, but we also know there might be some tears—likely from both students and parents. Thank you for entrusting us with your precious children. A few reminders for tomorrow: Doors open at 7:20 AM for students. Instruction begins promptly at 8:00 AM. If your child arrives after 8:00 AM, please ensure they are signed in at the front office by an adult. Breakfast is available for all students in the cafeteria starting at 7:20 AM. If your child plans to eat breakfast, please have them arrive before 8:00 AM to ensure they don’t miss any instructional time. Regarding dismissal: The first 10 days, or until all bus routes are finalized, may take a bit longer than usual. We appreciate your patience during this period and remind you not to pass cars in the parking lot, as safety remains our top priority. We’ll be distributing Fast Pass tickets in the car line this week, both in the morning and afternoon. For every dollar donated to the school, you’ll receive one ticket. You can request as many tickets as you like, and we’ll collect the donations when you return the tickets. Next week, we’ll draw five names from the pool, and those parents will have the privilege of bypassing the car line until Christmas break. They’ll have a designated area, and their children will be brought out to them. We ask that Fast Pass winners arrive at school by 3:00 PM. Finally, a note on student drop-offs: Parents of NEW students in grades 1 through 5 are welcome to walk their children to the classroom door tomorrow. However, if your child attended Coopers last year, we encourage them to begin walking in independently starting tomorrow. After tomorrow, only kindergarten parents will be allowed inside the building. Beginning Tuesday, September 3rd, our kindergarteners will celebrate "Independence Day" by walking to class on their own. Pre-K parents, please remember that our pre-k students start on the 28th, with staggered enrollment from the 28th through the 30th. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Good Evening Bulldogs, Parents, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support and partnership throughout this academic year. It has been a year filled with growth, challenges, and achievements, and we couldn’t have done it without the dedication and encouragement from our wonderful parents and guardians. I also want to express my gratitude for your patience as I navigated my way through Coopers this semester. Your understanding and cooperation have been invaluable in making this school year a success and a smooth transition for me from a different school. As we look forward to the summer break, I encourage you to celebrate your child's accomplishments and enjoy quality time together as a family. We are excited about the opportunities and new beginnings next school year will bring and are committed to continuing our mission to provide a supportive and enriching educational environment for all our students.
