Cope Middle School
Home of the Cougars
Enjoy your Fall Break!!
Happy National Custodian Day to the absolute superheroes of our middle school! 🧹✨
From keeping our classrooms sparkling clean and fixing anything that breaks, to greeting our students with bright smiles in the hallways every morning—our custodial team keeps Cope Middle running smoothly every single day.
Middle school life can get pretty messy, but our custodians handle it all with endless patience and incredible hard work.
We are so lucky to have the best team in the business!

One of our 8th grade students, Collin Culbreath, had a great weekend on the baseball diamond. He and his team won the 2D Ruston Fall Opener Championship this past weekend. We love to see our CMS students succeeding outside of school! Way to Collin!

If you weren't at the CMS choir concert this evening, you missed something special. Dr. Budgewater’s choir groups delivered a performance filled with talent, passion, and remarkable skill. From the very first harmony, the music just wrapped around the audience--the kind of performance that warms your heart and instantly relaxes your soul.
Huge congratulations to Dr. Budgewater and every single Cougar vocalist for sharing their incredible gifts with us tonight. We are so lucky to have such extraordinary talent at Cope! ❤️✨

As we approach the end of the **first nine weeks**, we want to ensure families have a clear understanding of how student grades are calculated.
Below is information from the **Bossier Parish Grading Policy** outlining how gradebooks for students in **Grades 6–8** are structured. We encourage you to use this as a reference when reviewing your student’s grades and academic progress.
Our goal is to keep families informed and provide a clear picture of student performance as we close out the first grading period.
