Dear Parents/Guardians & Staff,
First of all, welcome to all *NEW* families! And welcome back to all families who have been here before! We hope you've had a wonderful summer! School is just around the corner and we have some exciting things planned for the year! You'll find some important information on the posts below.
- The school staff and the PTA have a great year planned for students and families! Stay aware of what’s happening each month! The Cooper School Calendar has important school dates and PTA events listed.

- Our Back to School Water Ice Night Friday, 9/8 from 6:30pm - 7:30pm at school! All K-5 families are invited!
- Don’t forget to sign up for PTA Membership! You don’t have to be a volunteer - we need everyone’s support! We are looking for 100% membership from families and staff members!
- We are creating our volunteer list for the new school year! Please fill the 2023-2024 Volunteer Form out if you're interested in helping in any way. Not sure what each volunteer does? See a list of volunteer descriptions.
- We are having our annual Fall mum sale. In order to receive your mums in time, orders are due on 9/13. Orders can be made in our PTA Store. See our flyer posted below!
- Take a cooking break on our first Dine Out Day of the school year at MOD Pizza in Marlton on 9/21 all day. Our school will receive 25% back! See our flyer posted below!

- We also collect books you are ready to pass on to students in need in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area in our beautiful Book Smiles bin located in the foyer at school. Send books in anytime.
