It takes a special kind of heart to navigate the "middle school years" alongside our students at Cope Middle. This week is National School Counseling Week 2026, and we are so incredibly lucky to have a counseling team that meets our students with patience, empathy, and an open door every single day. From schedule changes to friendship fixes and everything in between, they are the glue that holds us together. Thank you for being the ultimate advocates for our kids! 🧡 This week, we celebrate Mrs. Courtney and Mrs. Fontaine for:
Listening without judgment 👂
Guiding academic paths 📚
Supporting mental health & wellness 🌱
Being a safe harbor in the middle school storm ⚓️
We appreciate you today and every day!
