Welcome to our Cooper 6 Team! This website was designed to guide and support both parents and students through the first year of middle school. The information provided is intended to help students to thrive emotionally, socially as well as academically.
In addition to being a Cooper 6 resource this site also houses our monthly newsletter. In keeping with our theme, "The More You Know”, this monthly newsletter will keep parents/guardians "in the know" about the exciting things happening in Cooper 6.
The transition to middle school is different for all students. Some walk in on day one ready to go, others take more time to become acclimated to their new surroundings. Middle school students are presented with a variety of issues on a daily basis, which can be difficult for them to manage at times. Fortunately, in Cooper 6, we have systems in place to help them learn how to navigate successfully any hurdles they may encounter.
The philosophy of the Cooper 6 team focuses on the developmental needs of early adolescents. We seek to foster a highly challenging intellectual environment while simultaneously providing a nurturing and supportive environment in which students can experience a level of personal and academic success. Our goal is to have students begin to develop sound habits of mind, to become more independent thinkers and to become effective self-advocates.
We hope this guidebook becomes a continual resource for Cooper 6 parents and students throughout the course of the 2024-2025 academic year. It will be updated periodically.
