We held class meetings on Friday to highlight topics from the student handbook. Each class nearly filled our auditorium.
On the 2nd day of school, some students were using their lunch time to solve math problems.

Attendance Policy
An ABSENCE is defined as being absent during any part of the school day 60 minutes or more. ALL student absences require a written note signed by a parent or legal guardian upon a student's return to school. Students are responsible for turning in all absence notes within one week. Cooper High School will not accept notes that are FAXED or COPIED.
Original notes are required and should be delivered by the student to their first period teacher. Students will have one (1) week upon his/her return to provide an excuse note or the absence will remain unexcused. It is important to bring your written note or doctor's note in as soon as possible. While students will receive the work they missed during their absence, unexcused absences results in no credit given for any work missed during the unexcused absence time period.
Cooper High School will allow six (6) absences throughout the year to be excused with only a parent note. Whenever a doctor/dentist note is available, please bring it in so that the six (6) absences on parent signature alone can be used as needed. More than six (6) absences will require a note from a doctor or another official source.
Our Athletic Handbook also outlines attendance and participation in athletics. If a student has 9 or more unexcused they are ineligible to participate in athletics.

Dances & Absences
As outlined in the online student agenda book, our dance policy is that students cannot have 6 or more unexcused events in order to attend any school-sponsored dance such as homecoming, senior dinner dance and prom.

Senior and Parent Night
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 earlier than ever before this year, Oct. 1st. In years past, the window opened on Jan. 1st.
When: Tues., Sept. 18, 2018 @ 6:30 p.m.
