Tobacco/E-Cigarettes

This is a reminder that Cooper High School is a
Tobacco free campus. This includes cigarettes, dip,

and vape devices. Any student found in possession

of these items will have them confiscated and given

disciplinary consequences. The articles confiscated

will not be returned to student or parent.

We want to provide you with some additional

information in regards to the E-Cigarettes also called

vapes/vaping pens. Click here for the link to a Surgeon General Parent tips page on this topic.

Click here for an informational sheet on this practice, more commonly known as "vaping" or "Juuling". These devices and the liquids contain varying amounts of nicotine (the purchaser can buy varying concentrations of nicotine from manufacturers) and flavoring agents, such as cherry flavor or bubblegum flavor, are frequently added.

Cooper has a variety of responses to this unhealthy trend, including the promotion of our Drug Free Club of America. Our sponsor, Ms. Kristen Nunn can provide you additional information should you choose to have your student join.

Student health and safety are the first concern of the Boone County School District and Cooper High School. We encourage you to discuss this important issue with your students. Stopping the use of vaping materials and other tobacco products at Cooper High School is essential to maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all.

Picture Re-take Day

Our picture make- up day from earlier in the school year is coming up this week on Tuesday October 30th.

Students that did not get their school picture taken on August 28th should be sure to get their school picture taken this Tuesday.

To order online, the picture ID is: JC118018Q1

Earbuds for Devices

Encourage your student to bring their earbuds to school. There is a need for students to have earbuds during classes in order to have the option to listen to videos in Canvas and world language listening exercises.

Earbuds are available in the School Spirit Store for $3

Click here for the School Spirit Store.

Parent Drop-Off & Pick Up

Parent Drop-Off: We ask that students are dropped off along the main drive in front of the school each morning. Please avoid dropping off your student in the parking lot. Students and staff are walking through the parking lot and visibility is low during this time.

Parent Pick-Up: We ask that when lining up just prior to school dismissing only a single line is formed along the main drive. For safety and access, we need to ensure this main drive is accessible in one direction.
