LATIN PRIDE

Latin Pride @ Cooper!

Latin Pride, our first annual fundraising campaign, has officially launched!

In this inaugural campaign, we ask every family to make a direct donation to support our work at Cooper. Direct donations mean no sales or auctions; your contribution goes immediately and entirely toward the experiences students have at Cooper, and helps us close the funding gap all charter schools face — especially important in Cooper’s early years as we work to establish and grow our campus.

Please read more on the Latin Pride @ Cooper page!

Pick-up & Drop-off Routine

Important Updates!

Remember, now that we are all back in school – both our campus and the neighboring charters – traffic at drop-off and pick-up times is thick! It is very important that everyone follow these important traffic procedures to keep students and neighbors safe!

Due to changes DDOT has made to traffic patterns, 8th Street is now a one-way street going north to Monroe. 

  • Parents should still pick-up and drop-off at the bend near the Metropolitan Trail (going under the Franklin Street NE bridge) at the north face of Cooper (look for the 711 painted on the side of our building).
  • Please wait until you are under the bridge and out of traffic before letting your child out of the car.
  • Remember, our parents should not pick-up or drop-off in the parking lot.

We will be outside for drop-off from 7:45-8:05. If you arrive after 8:05, please bring your child to the front desk.

We will be outside for pick-up until 3:40. If you arrive after 3:40, either park in an available spot in the Cooper lot or park nearby and come to the doors in our lot to pick up your child.

PICK UP AND DROP OFF BEST PRACTICES

  • Conversations are not for the car line! While we love talking with you, it cannot be at pick up or drop off – we need to keep the line moving!
  • Never block the crosswalks! There are fast-moving cyclists entering and exiting at the crosswalk. We want both students and neighbors to be safe from all kinds of traffic, and not blocking them will go a long way in this.

Please consider the map below when planning your pick up or drop off.

As is the case with any major change of this sort, we will be responsive and will make adjustments as necessaryWe ask for your patience and grace as we go through this process together.
