Coopers Elementary School

Good Evening Bulldogs! Happy Sunday! I hope you were able to get out and enjoy yesterday’s beautiful weather. Thank you to everyone who came out to our Bulldog Bash this past Friday. The weather was perfect. It seemed like the students had a great time and that is what it is all about! Progress reports go home this week. This Wednesday is Secretary’s day. We want give a huge shout out to Mrs. G, Mrs. Lorie, and Ms. Dionne in our front office for being amazing! Thank you ladies for all that you do for our students, staff, and families. This Friday is BINGO night! If you bought tickets, we are looking forward to a fun filled night with a lot of good laughs with family and friends. We are sold out. We will not have any tickets for sale at the door. If you bought tickets, you will get a confirmation letter this week with all the important details. Next Tuesday, April 30th, we will have our transition night. We will have 3 different rotation times, so parents can meet with up to 3 different grade levels that night if needed. The rotation times will be 5:00-5:30, 5:45-6:15, and 6:30-7:00. Parents, you can drop your Cooper’s kids off in the gym so they can have some fun while you attend the rotation(s). If you have little ones who are not in school yet, we ask that you take them with you during the rotations. As always, please check out our school’s website for all of our upcoming dates including early dismissal on May 1st, upcoming awards day, and end of year events. Have a great evening and take care.

Good Evening Bulldogs! Tomorrow is Bulldog Bash and one of the best days of the year for most kiddos. Tomorrow we will have relay races, bubbles, a foam party, and icees for the students. We ask that students wear tennis shoes for the relay races. We ask that students bring an extra set of clothing and shoes for the foam party. The students will not get soaking wet, but their feet will. We ask that students either wear water shoes, tennis shoes, or shoes that has a back to them for the foam party. Please do not have students wear flip flops. They will lose their flip flops in the foam and they will be on pavement, not the grass, so it will not be comfortable if they lose a shoe with all the little pebbles out there. We will have a concession stand tomorrow, so students can bring money. It will be cash only. Teachers have sent out via the NCPS app the schedule for tomorrow. Pre-K, Kindergarten, first, and second grade will have relays in the morning and the upper grades will have relays starting after lunch. All students will go outside at 8:30am to start their first event. Parents, you do not need to sign in at the front office. You can report straight to the field area. Students will also sign-out to go home through their homeroom teacher and not the front office tomorrow. Bulldogs, get some rest tonight and let's get ready to have a fun day tomorrow.

Good Evening Bulldogs, It is crazy to think that this week is our Bulldog Bash on Friday and we only have 7 more weeks of school! This Tuesday night, from 6-6:45pm, we will have a General PTO meeting in the media center. We are inviting all of our parents to this meeting, as we are in need of closing out this year and starting to prepare for next school year and adding new members to our already fabulous team. This Wednesday is early release. Our students will be getting out of school at 1:00pm. Please make sure you are at their bus stop 2 hours earlier than normal. This past Friday was wear blue in support and observance of National Autism and Child Abuse month. This upcoming Thursday, we are asking for students to wear red in honor of ACCEPTING individuals with autism. We have a very diverse school and we want to teach our students to accept others and to treat everyone the way you want to be treated. We are all unique and we respect each other’s similarities and differences. This Thursday I will be wearing red and I hope to see everyone else in red as well. This Friday is our Bulldog Bash, also known as field day. Your child’s teacher will be sending out his/her grade level’s schedule for the Bulldog Bash. Students are asked to bring an extra set of clothes and shoes. We will be having a foam machine, so students will need to wear tennis shoes or water shoes for this event. We ask that students do NOT wear their bathing suits or flip flops, but instead wear shorts/jogging pants/t-shirts (not white) or any other school appropriate clothing. Students will need to wear (dry) tennis shoes for their relay races. As always, please check out our school’s website for all of our upcoming dates including BINGO night on the 26th and Transition night on the 30th. Have a great evening and take care.

This is a friendly reminder to wear blue tomorrow in observance of autism and child abuse month.

Congratulations to our Coopers Elementary Battle of the Books team! Our Bulldogs battled hard yesterday and their hard work paid off as they received Second Place in yesterday's district competition. They worked hard all year, some of them beginning this past summer, completing a total of 15 pre-selected books. We are so proud of their accomplishment!!! Go Bulldogs!!

Unity Fri-Yay! Come together as a community of unity and wear green as a symbol to prevent Gun Violence and share your photos in the comments! Gun violence is preventable when you know the signs. “Say Something” upstanders have helped Sandy Hook Promise prevent 7 school shootings and 60+ acts of violence with a weapon.

Bulldog families, tomorrow is “Oh the Places You'll Go” for Dr. Seuss week. Our Bulldogs are invited to dress up for the career they'd like to have one day! We will also have Community Readers visiting during Enhancement classes to read to our Bulldogs and share all about their careers as well!!

In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it. People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools

I promise to be an #Upstander and ”Say Something” when I see someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools

Bulldog families, tomorrow is “Wacky Wednesday” for Dr. Seuss week. Our Bulldogs are invited to wear their clothes backward, mismatched, or inside out! This should be a lot of fun!! https://bit.ly/bulldogseussweek
