Cope Middle School

Girls' Track practice has been cancelled for today. Have a great weekend!

It was a GREAT day to visit the BAFB's Defenders of Liberty field trip. Our CMS S2S ambassadors and a few other 8th graders had the opportunity to represent our school and see some really cool things! If you can make it this weekend, make plans to attend and see all the booths and aircrafts. We are so thankful for the partnership with Barksdale Air Force Base to allow STEM activities like these for our students!

IMPORTANT!!!

Please use this information to plan for late April and early May for Cope Middle students. We need ALL students present on the listed days and times! Please schedule all appointments around these specified times. We appreciate your help with this essential time!

Our Lady Cougars' softball team competed in their first double header last night. Our team didn't earn the most runs on the scoreboard, but it was a beautiful day on the diamond! Even through the losses, our girls were smiling, cheering, and supporting one another in the dugout and on the field..... and we consider that a bigger WIN than any runs on a scoreboard. We are proud of our Lady Cougars! Come see them in action on Thursday, March 20 at 4:30 at Tinsley.
