Laptop for School
Every student is encouraged to bring a personal device, other than a cell phone, for the 2017-2018 school year. Teachers will continue to utilize our online learning management system (Canvas) to provide students with a blended learning model of teaching and learning to best meet the needs of all students. Many resources such as math textbooks and other resources across content areas will be uploaded for students to access on Canvas via a laptop or chromebook. Students and teachers will continue to integrate and use technology to enhance learning and provide students with the skills needed to be college, career, and life ready.
The Boone County School District and Cooper High School are not recommending what type of device to purchase for your student(s). With costs varying widely among types of devices, brand, and capabilities we encourage you to research and discuss what device will best meet the needs and interests of your student.

No form of clothing or personal appearance will be allowed to interfere with the educational process or environment. School authorities may limit or prohibit any type or style of student dress, personal appearance or use of apparel, which, in the judgement of school officials, is deemed to create a disruption of the educational process or environment, including clothing that fits in an appropriate manner.
The following attire us appropriate:
- Pants of jeans of the appropriate size and length which do not drag on the floor or expose undergarments.
- Holes or frays in jeans below the knee only, and any leggings must be without sheer or mesh panels above the knee.
- Shirts/blouses, sweatshirts, or t-shirts which do not display vulgar, profane, sexually explicit or implied meanings, double meanings, alcohol, tobacco or drugs, racially inappropriate items, items that reference violence (any weapons), or any other items deemed to be offensive by the faculty, staff, or administration.

New Grading Scale
During the 2016-2017 school year, Boone County Schools reviewed the board policy for grading (08.221). A revision to the grading policy was enacted in May 2017 based on multiple meetings throughout the year to analyze and evaluate local, regional, and national data surrounding grading scales and their impact on student success.
The grading scale changes directly affect all students in grades 4-12. Starting with the class of 2018, all changes are retroactive beginning with grades earned after the completion of the 8th grade. Details of the changes are listed below:
Boone County PREVIOUS Grading Scale:
94-100 = A
87-93 = B
86-78 = C
70-77 = D
Below 70 = failing grade
Boone County Schools NEW Grading Scale Effective July 1, 2017:
90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
Below 70 = "I" for INCOMPLETE
Students with an "I" will be provided support by the school to remediate learning to reach a 70. If the grade is still listed as an "I" by June 30, then it becomes a F. For athletic eligibility purposes, an "I" is considered a failing grade.
This new grading scale provides comparability of student achievement between Boone County Schools and that many other districts across the nation.

Senior & Parent Meeting
We would like to invite all of our senior students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to an important college decision and application process session. Make plans now to attend!
This informative session will include topics such as general college information, how to get transcripts, filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), applying for admission and scholarships, as well as important deadlines.
We will also provide high school senior students and parents with the detailed information they need to apply for student financial aid. Students and parents will learn about the financial aid process, discovering when and how to apply for state and federal funds. Options for filling the gap if traditional financial aid does not meet their need will be discussed; and common application mistakes, financial aid blunders and other information will be covered.
This workshop is hosted by our guidance counseling along with Bob McDermott, Ky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) NKY Outreach Counselor. This workshop will be geared toward senior students and their parents but any grade level can attend
The FAFSA window opens Oct. 1st.
When: Thur., Aug. 29, 2017 @ 6:30 p.m.
Where: Cooper HS Library
We hope to see you there!
