To every student standing at the starting line of this week’s LEAP tests:
Take a deep breath. You’ve been climbing this mountain since the first day of school, and now you’re finally at the summit, ready to see the view. The classroom assignments, the practice problems, the essays, and the "aha!" moments have all led to this. You aren’t starting from scratch; you are simply showing up to claim the progress you’ve already made. Trust your gut, trust your preparation, and most importantly, trust yourself. We hope you walk into that room with your head held high. Not because you’re expected to be perfect, but because you know you’ve worked hard. No matter what-- we are already proud of the person you’ve become this year.
You’ve got this! Now show them what you know!

🎉Happy Administrative Professionals' Day! 🎉
These four people make our world go around at Cope Middle! They keep everything and everyone in line! They wear a multitude of "hats" that include greeting visitors and students, checking temperatures, calling parents, locating students, assisting with classroom tasks, deliver item around campus and the list goes on and on! We literally wouldn't know what to do without their help.
Thank you for being you and serving the CMS campus day in and day out. We appreciate each of you tremendously!

Month of the Military Child at Cope Middle - April 22
The impact of our Cope Middle library team is immeasurable!
Mrs. Samuels acts as an instructional leader, teaching students how to evaluate sources, spot misinformation, and cite work properly, uses deep pedagogical knowledge to curate collections that reflect diverse voices and interests, as well as sparking a love for reading in even the most reluctant students. Most recently, Mrs. Samuels' heart for students learning moved her to take the lead teaching role in one of our 8th grade ELA classes when a teacher resigned. How awesome is that!?!
Mrs. Coddington ensures that the physical and digital tools—from databases, ID badges to Chromebooks—are accessible and organized, manages the daily pulse of the library, helping students find that specific graphic novel or thriller they’ve been searching for, and ensuring no student leaves empty-handed. She also lends a helping hand in any role that we ask of her!
Thank you, Mrs. Samuels and Mrs. Coddington! You are our library superstars!
