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. Last but not least, if your child received a paper to attend the opportunity EOG retest, please remember the Reading test is Monday, the Math test is Tuesday, and the Science test is Wednesday. Please only send your child on their designated day(s). Students will be able to enter the building at 7:30 and students will dismiss at 1pm (like an early release schedule). Please contact the school or your child's teacher if you have any questions. Thank you and have a great evening and a great summer!~

Good Evening Bulldogs! I hope each and every one of you have enjoyed this beautiful weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out for our Transition Night this past Tuesday. I hope you received some valuable information and resources that you can utilize over the summer. This upcoming week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our Amazing PTO sent out a link (https://bit.ly/3UtdpSm) a few days back. The link had a spreadsheet with just about every staff member's Amazon wish list. The PTO did ask the staff to put personal items on the list and not just school supplies. This is completely optional, but please know the link is available on our website too if you would like to glance over it. (https://bit.ly/3UtdpSm). I am blessed to work with such a fabulous group of individuals! Tomorrow night we have our last PTO meeting of the year. We would absolutely LOVE to have a library full. We will wrap up this school year and vote for officers for next school year. The library will open at 5:30 and we will start promptly at 5:45pm. This Tuesday our EOY assessments open for our K-3 students and it is also our Kindergarten registration day. We will have Kindergarten registration at Coopers from 9-12am and then again from 3-6pm. All registration is completed online. If you need assistance uploading documents, feel free to stop by Tuesday and someone will be happy to assist you. This Wednesday is School Nurse day. Thank you Nurse Unrue for your bandaids, bags of ice, temperature checks, and for helping our sweet little ones feel better on a daily basis. Your office is a revolving door and we appreciate you. Last but not least, our pre-K graduation is this Friday from 9-11 in the gym and our 5th grade EOY Pep Rally at Miracle Park is also set for this Friday. Please check our website for more details.

Good Evening Bulldogs, As I mentioned in yesterday’s message, the end of the school year is drawing near. With this, the technology department is having to conduct an inventory of all student devices. If your child take their devices home between now and the end of the year, please make sure they are returning them daily to the school along with their chargers. Students will be receiving an invoice if they have a missing charger or damage to their device. Thank you for your understanding and assistance! If you have a child in kindergarten through 4th grade, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening for transition night. If you know of any rising Kindergarten students, please spread the word. We would love for their parents to attend and meet our wonderful staff. Have a great evening.

Good Evening Bulldogs! Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for an amazing BINGO night this past Friday. A huge shout out to Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Lorie for being the energetic hosts that they were. Thank you to all of our community members and sponsors that donated items and made this night possible. The money that was made at BINGO night will go towards our PBIS fund for our students. This week brings on the month of May, which means we are in our last month of school. WOW! This semester is flying by! Here is a list of upcoming events. Please remember you can find these on our school’s website under Students CES calendar. • Tomorrow our fifth graders take their EOY Science NC Check-in • Tuesday is transition night. Transition night is designed for families to get a jump start on how to prepare your child for the next grade level. You will learn about your child’s expectations, priority standards being taught, assessments given, and grading for next year (based on your child's upcoming grade level). The rotation times are 5:00-5:30, 5:45-6:15, and 6:30-7:00 so you can meet with more than one grade level if needed. • This Wednesday is early release. Our staff will be receiving their EOG training. • This Friday is School Lunch Hero Day. Thank you to our amazing cafeteria staff for all that they do. They put smiles on our students’ faces first thing in the morning and at lunch. It is nothing to walk in the cafeteria and hear the café staff barking like bulldogs, making the kids laugh. Thank you ladies! • Monday May 6th is our last PTO meeting for the year. We would love to have a library full. We will begin at 5:30. • May 6th through the 10th is teacher appreciation week. The PTO sent out a link to each staff member’s amazon wish list. This is completely optional! If you would like to purchase your child’s teachers something from their list, I know they would greatly appreciate it. • Our K-3 students will take their EOY mClass assessment May 7-15th. • May 7th is Kindergarten registration day at Coopers from 9-12 and 3-6pm. Registration is all online. IF you need help uploading documents, please feel free to come out to Coopers on the 7th and we will help you upload the documents. If you can not come on the 7th, feel free to drop by any day during school hours to drop off supporting documents for your child to be enrolled at Coopers next year for Kindergarten. We have a lot going on these last few weeks of school. Please remind your child or children that they must still follow the school rules and keep their hands to themselves on the playground and around the school. This past week, we had a lot of students start to get that summer feeling. It is getting warm outside and some students are beginning to get too playful and too rough. Let’s end this year on a great note. Thank you, families, for your continued support. Have a wonderful evening enjoying this beautiful weather.
