The Cardinal Connection

We are excited to invite parents & guardians to our upcoming Open House event, which is a wonderful opportunity for you to visit your child’s classroom, meet their teacher, and see firsthand the learning environment we are cultivating. At this event, we aim to strengthen the partnership between home and school, which is key to your child's success. By attending, you will gain valuable insights into their daily routines and experiences. This connection fosters a positive and supportive learning community for everyone.

During the Open House, we will also provide an overview of the curriculum your child will be engaging with throughout the year. Understanding the curriculum is essential, as it outlines the key learning goals, skills, and concepts your child will be working on. It will also help you better support their academic growth at home. Your presence at this event is crucial, as it provides an opportunity to ask questions and ensure that we are working together to create the best possible learning environment for your child.

Our cafeteria will be open and serving a free meal to our parents & guardians attending Open House! See the menu below. If you are a 3rd- 5th grade parent, and would like dinner, please be sure to visit the cafeteria before their presentation starts at 7:00.

We look forward to seeing you there and building a strong partnership for a successful school year!

Mrs. Jacobs & Mrs. Gearheart

*Please note that Open House is intended for Parents & Guardians.

We ask that parents ensure that students are at school on time each day and limit early dismissals! Please only pick up your child if there is an emergency. Our schedules are packed with instruction from 9:05 AM until 3:45 PM! Every minute counts!

Please use the Red Clay calendar to plan vacation time. It is essential that students are present every day!

Please make sure you have your 2024-2025 car tag hanging from your rear view mirror. If you have an old tag, please be sure to swap out for the new one. Thank you!

As part of our safety plan, we conduct different types of drills during the school year. We have our first lockdown drill scheduled for next week. School safety is a priority and practicing drills helps with our preparedness. We are informing you so that you can discuss this with your child and/or answer any questions they may have. The teachers will review the procedures with the students. The school will send a message to families after the completion of the drill.

It is very important to read through our Cooke Family Handbook! It is full of information about our school and may answer questions that you have about the routines, procedures and expectations at our school!

Many of you have reached out looking for ways you can support our school. We would love to have donations for our MTSS School Store. Students visit this store once per month and use their Cardinal Code Cards they've earned for being respectful, responsible, and ready. We put together an Amazon Wish List. If you choose to donate, the items will be shipped directly to Cooke Elementary School. As always, thank you for your support!
