The staff at Cooper Elementary School is very dedicated and many have worked at Cooper for more than five years. Over 75% of teachers have earned a Master’s Degree or higher and many teachers continue their professional growth by taking classes on the newest trends in education.
Cooper Elementary School hosts many special events. A student and parent favorite is Cooper’s annual Costume Walk. The Costume Walk allows for many great photo opportunities. The staff members organize a family Thanksgiving every November where they serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal to students and their families. They also host a beloved event called Bedtime Books, where the students come back to school one evening in pajamas to hear the staff members read bedtime stories and enjoy milk and cookies. A fun Talent Show performed by students concludes each school year.

Students also benefit from interaction with other students outside their classrooms through the school’s Reading Buddies initiative that pairs younger and older students together to read.
