Bus #507 will not be on route. Bus #003 & Bus 124 will transport students for Cope.
TOMORROW is the deadline: our 8th grade science classes will be making models to demonstrate Plate Motion after fall break use by edible items. We need your help gathering those items so that all 8th grades can learn while using their hands!
Items are due October 17. Items may be dropped off in the CMS front office, simply let the office staff know who the 8th grade science teacher is!
Thank you for helping to make learning fun and engaging here at Cope!
