The Cardinal Connection

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 note that Open House is intended for Parents & Guardians. It is an opportunity for you to learn about your child's classroom, grade level expectations, curriculum, and routines. The cafeteria will also be open to provide each adult with a free meal!

Cooke Elementary partners with the Food Bank to organize food bags that go home with identified students each weekend. If your student(s) was part of the program last year, they will remain on the list this year unless your family is no longer in need.

If you feel this support would be helpful to your family, please email our School Counselor, Mrs. McLearie at Shelby.McLearie@redclay.k12.de.us to request that your student(s) participate in this program.

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!
