Cooper Families,

We are continuously looking for ways to improve at Cooper! Below are some links to important sites/account access for your convenience.

Communication about attendance and grades is a top priority each year at Cooper. To help facilitate communication, Cooper uses an online grade book called PowerSchool that will continue with your child through high school. Our attendance is recorded in PowerSchool. We continue to focus on the importance of attendance in order to reduce the percentage of truant students. A PowerSchool parent account will allow you to check your student’s progress in school including grades, lunch balance, as well as their attendance. If you already have a PowerSchool Account created you can continue to use your active account. Under Account Preferences you may add your student using the access ID and password in this email.

Please see the attached links for help or reach out to our office if you have any questions or need assistance logging into your account.

Responsibility

After break and at the start of the new year, it is a great time to focus on responsibility. Students have been reviewing our Work, Respect, Belong expectations and will participate in a WRB review game day on Friday, Jan. 23rd. Talking to kids about what their responsibilities are, not only at school, but also at home, in the community, and to themselves is a good way to help them understand that they are an important part of contributing to their world. Others count on them to do their jobs. People, pets, and objects need to be taken care of. Helping kids understand the benefits of being responsible as well as the consequences that come from not being responsible is an important part of creating good humans and contributing citizens. Below you will find resources to encourage your child to be responsible.

Teaching Children About Personal Accountability graphic. Teaching accountability to children is very important so they learn to take responsibility for their actions. This is an easier task with the right amount of love, structure and guidance. Here's how to start. Let your kids know their responsibilities. Be consistent. Give children age-appropriate chores. Show children how to change their behavior. Set an example.

It was at home reading challenge reward day at Cooper! Students picked out some great books!! Thanks to PTA for their support in providing books students can choose from as a reward for their hard work!

Help your child to participate in this month's reading challenge! All reading counts! Students can read with someone, listen to a book, or read on their own. Fill in that calendar that came home and send it back to school at the end of the month!
