Cope Middle School
Home of the Cougars
🚨🚨PLEASE NOTE🚨🚨
Tomorrow's Cope Middle football scrimmage start time HAS CHANGED!!! Due to district guidelines and protocols associated with extreme temperatures, our 7th and 8th grade scrimmage against Keithville will begin at 7:00pm at Airline High School. Also, please know that this is not a full football game. 7th and 8th grade teams will alternate playing 10 offensive plays, 10 defensive plays, 10 plays from specific yardage, and then a six minute playtime. Concessions will be sold, officals will be present, and we are using this scrimmage for our student athletes to acclimate to the heat, understand game logistics, and meet the expectations of the game.
We hope you can jon us to cheer on our football teams!
Last Friday some of our 8th grades were able to check out our first AR books of the year and spend some time "popping" open a good book and popsicle!
CMS parents and students:
Please note that these styles of boots are not allowed to be worn at Cope Middle School.

POWER OF PRESENCE: CMS wants all students at school each and every day--including check ins and check outs! If you are here at school, you can learn! We are rewarding your presence because it is IMPORTANT!!!
Help us congratulate our CMS Lady Cougars Players of the Week!! Great job, ladies; keep up the great hustle and work ethic!!!
What started as a simple idea to refresh a faded mural became something much more meaningful! We saw an opportunity to create a space that reflects not only our pride in Cope Middle, but also the heart of our community. With our strong connection to Barksdale Air Force Base and the many military-connected students we serve, the new mural on the Hero Wall was a natural extension of our Heroes Garden, planted in 2023. Together, they tell a story of school pride, community, and gratitude for those who serve.
Special thanks and recognition to the Artistic Shark, Chris Opp, for bringing this idea to life.
Please take a moment to drive by and take a look; it is absolutely stunning! 💙🇺🇸💙
At Cope Middle School, everything matters! 💙🐾🧡
