Dual Credit Scholarship

The Dual Credit Scholarship program covers tuition for up to two (2) dual credit courses for eligible Kentucky high school students in grades 11 or 12. We met with students taking dual credit courses to explain the necessary steps they need to take to apply for the scholarship and watch a mandatory video.

Some courses offered at the Area Technology Center (vocational school) are tuition bearing and will require these same steps be taken to have up to 2 courses reimbursed. It will be necessary to pay the tuition and wait for reimbursement. The colleges typically do not let students register for spring semester if a balance is due.

The deadline to apply for spring semester (if you still have money to use) is March 1st 2019.

Attendance Policy

Please note that all absences, tardies and/or early dismissals are considered "events"--no matter if they are 5 minutes, half a day, or the whole day and will be recorded on your child's attendance record. A note is required for each event. Students are permitted to have 6 parent notes. If your child visits the doctor, please send in the doctor's note. Doctor's notes are always considered excused and do not factor into the 6 parent notes. Be sure a note accompanies the student the day they return in order to have the most up-to-date attendance record. Students are also permitted three excused late arrivals or early dismissals with a parent note.

For any unexcused absence, students will receive the work they missed but no credit will be given for any assignments for the unexcused time the student was absent.

For your reference and for further details regarding attendance, click here to download our attendance policy.

College Finance Tip

Students should take FAFSA verification process seriously.

The federal government requires many students who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to verify the information on the FAFSA. The students are chosen by the U.S. Department of Education.

Used to apply for most federal and many state student aid programs, the FAFSA asks detailed questions about the income and resources of students. Read more...

Doodle 4 Google

Does art inspire you? Clouds that look like faces? Sugar? Discovering new galaxies? Artists have looked to the world around them for centuries to gain inspiration.

This year's 11th anniversary of Doodle 4 Google asks students to do the same. The winner's artwork will be made into an interactive doodle on Google.com as well as loads of scholarships and prizes.

This year's contest is open for online and mailed entries until March 18th 2019 at 8:00pm PST.

Safety Drills

During the month of January, we are reviewing our safety drills. We will be conducting a tornado, earthquake, lock down, fire and bus evacuation drills.

Safety is first and foremost. We consider it an honor spending time with your child each day in a safe, orderly and risk-free learning environment.

In your conversations with your student, talk about the importance of the drills and reiterate the importance of being planned and prepared for all types of emergency situations.

Flu & Illness

With the flu season here and the Cooper community experiencing the flu and flu-like symptoms, please take the following precautions to limit the spread of illness:

1. Free of fever for 24 hours before returning to school (without the use of fever-reducing medicine).

2. Cover your coughs and sneezes.

3. Do not share drinks, food, pencils, etc.

4. Wash/sanitize hands frequently and thoroughly.

5. Stay from others as much as possible.
