from the desk of: Ms. Cooper

Hi all! Welcome to my web page!

This year I will be teaching the following classes: Critical Reading 11, English 10 and SAT prep. (Click on the course name to see an overview). I will also be co-teaching: LS2 Reading (with Ms. Freeston) and Read 180 (with Mrs. Anderson).

I look forward to an exciting year of new opportunities to learn and grow. The theme for this year will be flexibility as we navigate new modes of learning.

Through this site you will be able to view the calendar for your class on Google Classroom.

NOTE: I will consistently post assignments and grades on skyward. Grades posted on skyward are what will be used for report cards.

For Back to school videos click on the course: English 10. Critical Reading 11, SAT prep.

Consider signing up for guardian summaries as well. This is a way to receive summaries of lessons and upcoming events. The district will send out further information for this so stay tuned.

During Class:

While we are virtual, please feel free to ask questions during class by raising your hand as it is more efficient if we all are muted until ready to speak.

During School Hours when we are not in class together:

Send me an email or a private message via google classroom. If you send an email, make sure you include your FULL name & class period as well as details about your concern/question. You may also request a time to video conference via google meet; include your request in your email and we can set up a time to video conference.

After School Hours

Send me an email. Make sure you include your name & class period, details about your concern/question. I will do my best to answer it by the end of the day but realize that emails sent later in the day may not be answered until the next day. I am typically available in "real time" until 4pm although that may change.

Notable Quote

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free."

This quote by Frederick Douglass is posted on the wall in my room and it's one that really resonates with me as a teacher. Reading IS freedom!
