Cooper Families,
It has been an amazing start to the year. This year our Cooper Shared Leadership Team evaluated our results from last year and settled on our goals for the upcoming school year. Our academic goal for the year will continue to focus around literacy and we will be adding a math instruction focus as well. Our goal this year is:
By Spring of 2026, we will see an increase in the amount of students achieving above the 25th percentile in both math and reading based on district benchmark assessment norms.
Reading will increase from a school wide average of 80% to 85% of students achieving above the 25th percentile. Math will increase from a school wide average of 73% to 78% of students achieving above the 25th percentile. This increase will be a direct result of the focused PLC work at Cooper.
Last year, we saw significant improvement on our Fastbridge data and we would like to see this even more this year. This goal is backed up with positive data and survey results that reflected the hard work and dedication of our students and staff at Cooper. Please look for updates and information on our progress towards our school goals in the newsletters and information that we share with you throughout the year.
Finally, I will be hosting a brief, informative Annual Parent Meeting where I will share about Cooper's Title I Program. I will be talking about ways in which our Cooper students benefit from Title I funds. This meeting will take place on Monday, October 6th at 6:00PM via Google Meet. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. Please join the following link on Oct. 6th: meet.google.com/ond-whid-uya
