Last year the School Board voted to change the 2022-23 school year calendar. To accommodate two holidays – Yom Kippur on Oct. 5, 2022, and Eid celebrated on April 21 and 22, 2023.

Robbinsdale Cooper High School's student newspaper, The Quill, earned an International First Place Award from the Quill and Scroll Society for the nine issues published during the 2021-22 school year.

At the start of every school year, Cooper's award winning student run newspaper, The Quill, publishes an orientation issue for all New students to Cooper. 

I am happy to report that we currently have drivers to staff all transportation routes and busing to school activities. In addition, we believe we have hired enough staff to be able to cover our routes if our drivers call out sick or need to take extended leaves. 

Congratulations to the Robbinsdale Cooper Debate team at 2022 National Debate Tournament!

A reminder to families that school start times are changing beginning with the 2022-23 school year.

Starting this fall, school meals will no longer be free to all students. Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals through the Educational Benefits application will have access to meals at no cost or a reduced cost.

With monkeypox in the news, we know students and families may be concerned about the national outbreak and how it could affect our schools. 

Students who attend public schools in Minnesota are required by state law to have specific immunizations (or written proof of exemption) before they can attend school

Every year we ask all families to complete an Educational Benefits application. This is a big request, and we ask you to take a few moments to apply right now.

Families whose students ride the bus to school should have received a postcard with transportation information in the mail. If you didn’t get a postcard, bus information can also be found in the Parent Portal.

Before school starts, download the free Durham Bus Tracker app to view routes and scheduled stops, see messages related to route delays and track buses.

Families and staff can continue to wear face coverings and are encouraged to do so if they believe it is best for them. 

The Great Cooper Community Get Together will be on Tuesday, Aug. 30 from 2-8 p.m. Pick up your device and schedule, meet your teachers, get your school photo taken and more!
