Students at Cooper are expected to give their all at school in order to fully develop their academic skills and reach their full potential. Staff members instill a sense of responsibility in all students by setting high, yet attainable, standards. By cooperating with the principal, staff members, their parents and their peers, students learn to respect others. By learning about their community and giving back, they become productive citizens.
When they arrive at Cooper each day, students are expected to be prepared – both mentally and physically. Not only do they need to bring supplies (i.e. pens, pencils, paper, etc.), but students also need to come with a positive, confident attitude and be ready to learn. Teachers see students as successful and by believing in themselves, children achieve more and overcome challenges to learning.
Cooper students should know that they have a strong support network standing behind them, encouraging them to do their best. With the school staff, parents and the community, help is always just around the corner. Students should never hesitate to ask for assistance understanding a new concept or solving a complex problem. Cooper students are the heart of the school – they are the future and make Cooper the wonderful place it is today!
