Cooper School Announcements
2023 Kick-Off!
Our first week back together ended with an exciting Eagles Pep Rally and a surprise visit from former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker, GARY COBB! In addition to helping us cheer on the Eagles heading into our final regular season game, Mr. Cobb reminded our Cooper Jaguars of the importance of working hard in school and being a good teammate at school and at home!
Big thanks to the teachers on the School Spirit Committee and Cooper Parent, Mr. Yang for organizing this special event! Thank you also to our students who brought Eagles memorabilia to share at the pep rally. You really made this a special day!
Looking forward to cheering on the Birds in a couple weeks!
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!!

SLOW DOWN, YOU MOVE TOO FAST
If your child rushes through assignments, it’s likely that oftentimes they’re not meeting all the requirements. To slow them down so they can give each assignment the attention it deserves, have your child return to the directions or rubric and rephrase each requirement as a question starting with “Did I…?” This self-monitoring strategy will clarify whether they have successfully met all the requirements of the assignment. When everything on their “Did I…?” checklist is complete, they can be confident they’re handing in more thorough work and know they’ve put forth a stronger effort.
