All students will be completing projects in at least one of their classes in preparation for the Ranger Showcase. All students are invited to showcase their project at the Ranger Showcase. This is a great opportunity for students to practice presentation skills and demonstrate their learning for family members. Check out the video below for a view into a past Ranger Showcase.

We believe that removing cell phone, earbud and personal device usage while students are inside Cook Middle School will:

1. Minimize Distractions

2. Promote Face-to-Face Interactions

3. Enhance Focus and Learning

4. Reduce Opportunities for Cyberbullying

If students need to make contact with a parent or guardian they may:

1. Use the campus phone in our security vestibule during passing periods, or their lunch period.

2. Use their phone during our dismissal process once they have exited the building.

3. Speak with a campus administrator, counselor or staff members about an alternative plan should an emergency arise.

Should a parent or guardian need to communicate an important message to a student, please call our main line to have a message sent to your student.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of following the Electronic Device Policy. Please have a conversation with your students about the reasonings behind this policy and the positive impact it can have on their academic progress and school experience.

At Cook Middle School, identification badges and clear backpacks are essential aspects of our commitment to a safe environment for students, staff and visitors to our campus. In addition, student ID badges allow students to access transportation, meals and library books with a quick scan of their badges. Please review the badge policy with your student and discuss the importance of wearing their ID badge each day.

We appreciate your support in ensuring that your student has their permanent ID badge and a clear backpack each day.

At Cook Middle School, we place great emphasis on teaching and reinforcing our campus PBIS values of being Respectful, Organized, Cooperative and Kind. An essential piece of students living these values at school is being on time to each of their classes and being in attendance for as many school days as possible.

Arriving to class on time, ensures that students do not miss essential instructions, announcements and the beginning of lessons. Our staff is working diligently to plan quality lessons that include a purposeful warm up within the first few minutes of class. Students arriving late to class, may miss those essential warm ups, reminders about upcoming assessments and other classroom announcements.

First period begins at 7:45 a.m. and students are expected to be in their assigned first period, ready to learn at 7:45. We ask your support and assistance in ensuring that students arrive on campus prior to 7:45 a.m. so that they may eat breakfast, make it to their classroom and be ready to learn when the bell rings.

Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in encouraging your students to make the most of the academic year by being on time to each of their classes.

Please review the campus dress code as you make purchases for the changes in weather.
