Good Evening, Bulldogs! Tomorrow is our Fun Run Day, and we are going to have an amazing time! Parents, please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. All students will be participating in the Fun Run activities, so it is important that they wear tennis shoes instead of crocs, flip-flops, or boots to stay comfortable while running, dancing, and supporting a great cause! We will also have items available for purchase throughout the day. Students can visit the Snack Shack for treats and the Bulldog Boutique to purchase school spirit apparel. If your child brings money, please remind them that they are responsible for keeping up with it. We encourage all students to wear their Coopers attire if they have it, as we will be capturing fun moments throughout the day for the yearbook. As of this morning, we are just $700 away from reaching our $20,000 goal, which means if we hit the mark, Mr. Snowden and I will get slimed! Let’s work together and make this happen, Bulldogs! To wrap up an exciting day, our 3rd and 4th graders will be performing for families and community members at 6:00 PM. We ask that students arrive and report to their classrooms around 5:30 PM. To minimize hallway traffic, we kindly request that only students enter the hallways while parents, family, and friends head directly to the gym. We look forward to a fun-filled day tomorrow! Have a great evening, and we’ll see you all tomorrow!

Good Evening Bulldogs, We know how exciting a snow day can be for our students! While it's important for them to complete their schoolwork, we also encourage them to take some time to enjoy the snow, play outside, and make special memories. Balance is key, so let them have fun while staying on track with their learning! Wednesday and Thursday will be remote learning days for our students. A CANVA presentation will be shared via ROOMS and posted on our school's website and Facebook page this evening, listing office hours for our Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers. During these office hours, you can click on a teacher’s name in the CANVA presentation to access a direct Google link where they will be online and available to assist with any questions regarding the work sent home. This also applies to our EC, enhancement, and support staff. K-2 students do not need to login to the Google link unless they have questions about their assignment. For students in grade 3-5, their teachers have listed times where they will be teaching their curriculum for the day. We ask that all 3-5 students login during their assigned time if possible. If students are not able, they will need to complete their packet that was sent home with them and return it by next Thursday to get counted present for the remote learning days. More information can be found on the CANVA presentation. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Stay warm and stay safe.... and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
