Attendance Policy
During the 2018-2019 school year, we began to examine data related to chronic absenteeism and its impact on our students. This caused us to take a look at our attendance policy and make changes to support our mission of preparing all students to be college and career ready upon leaving Cooper High School. Research shows missing 10% or more of the school year impacts the academic and social success of children. It also prevents children from building good attendance habits. You as parents and guardians are partners in helping us make sure students are committed to attending school every day.
To better meet the expectations explained above, Cooper High School has revised our attendance policy. It is summarized below:
- Within 3 days of a student's return to school he/she must present a written and dated note signed by the parent/guardian or physician explaining the absence. If the note is turned in after the 3-day window, the absence will remain unexcused.
- A maximum of six (6) days each year may be excused with a signed parent or doctor note for any reason including but not limited to illness, doctor visit, etc.
- If there are more than six (6) days excused, with a parent/doctor note, a Medical Excuse Form, must be completed, stating the student was seen in the doctor's office, and returned for review by school officials within (3) days of the absence for the absence to be reviewed for the possibility of being excused.
- Parents/guardians who are anticipating a student's extended absence due to illness or other health related issues, should contact the school office to make arrangements to address an extended absence.
- If the student has chronic or recurring illness that may cause more than 6 absence per the specified time period, the Medical Excuse Form should be completed prior to missing the six days of school. The form will only pertain to excuses from the doctor who completed the form and saw the student in his/her office, and will become effective on the date provided (not retroactively).
With these changes, it is essential to share information with the school when your child is absent. Thank you for partnering with us on providing a great educational experience for your child.

Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month. For the month of September mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors and community members come together to draw attention to the problem of suicide to promote suicide prevention.
September 5-11 is National Suicide Prevention Week. This is the week surrounding World Suicide Prevention Day. It is a time to share resources and stories, as well as promote suicide prevention awareness.
September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. This is a time to remember those affected by suicide, to raise awareness and to support those who may be suffering.
Our school counselors included information in the class meetings during the first week of school and will also be providing an informational brochure later this week during JAM.
