During this time of transition keep in mind that we are all in this together. The transition to hybrid will be a bit of an adjustment, and may be bumpy at times, but we have an amazing community of students, staff and parents here at Cooper School who all want the best for the students.
With patience and grace, we will rise to this challenge...and ROAR with Pride!
