To every student standing at the starting line of this week’s LEAP tests:
Take a deep breath. You’ve been climbing this mountain since the first day of school, and now you’re finally at the summit, ready to see the view. The classroom assignments, the practice problems, the essays, and the "aha!" moments have all led to this. You aren’t starting from scratch; you are simply showing up to claim the progress you’ve already made. Trust your gut, trust your preparation, and most importantly, trust yourself. We hope you walk into that room with your head held high. Not because you’re expected to be perfect, but because you know you’ve worked hard. No matter what-- we are already proud of the person you’ve become this year.
You’ve got this! Now show them what you know!

🎉Happy Administrative Professionals' Day! 🎉
These four people make our world go around at Cope Middle! They keep everything and everyone in line! They wear a multitude of "hats" that include greeting visitors and students, checking temperatures, calling parents, locating students, assisting with classroom tasks, deliver item around campus and the list goes on and on! We literally wouldn't know what to do without their help.
Thank you for being you and serving the CMS campus day in and day out. We appreciate each of you tremendously!
