7th Grade DC Field Trip - Permission Slips and Chaperones NeededOn Tuesday, June 11, all 7th-grade students will participate in a scavenger hunt, taking them to iconic memorials around the National Mall. We still need parent chaperones for our end-of-year field trip to Washington, DC! Chaperones will lead groups around 10 students as they try to solve riddles that can only be answered by physically locating clues at locations such as the Washington Monument and Vietnam War Memorial. If you are interested in chaperoning this trip, please complete this Google Form by COB Thursday, June 6th. Email your child's history teacher if you have any questions before volunteering.
After School Program SurveyBelow is a link for a quick survey about the Middle School After-School Program. The survey should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. The survey is an important component of the after-school program evaluation and is critical for future funding. The more responses we receive, the more valuable and reliable the data. The responses not only allow us to assess the impact of the after-school program but they help drive program improvement and program quality.
Thank you for completing the survey and for your support of the after-school program. This survey is FCPS approved.
All survey responses are due by June 7, 2024.

Student Device Return InformationStudent device collection is fast approaching. Please ensure your child comes to school with their FCPS issued laptop and student issued charger (see image below) on their designated return day.
Return Procedures:
- Regular Return: Students will return their FCPS-issued laptops and student issued chargers during their designated math class on Thursday, June 6th or Friday, June 7th. Please confirm that they have removed any USB devices, flash drives, and personal stickers from the device before returning it. Make sure to double check that your child is returning the correct charger.
- Students Leaving Early: If your child will be starting summer break before his/her designated turn in date please have them drop the device and charger off in room 1210 on their last day. Please ensure both the laptop and charger are clearly labeled with your child's first and last name.
Lost or Misplaced Items:
Replacement fees will apply for lost or misplaced chargers ($23) and laptops ($444). Payments for replacements can be made throughMySchoolBucks. A device will not be issued for the upcoming school year until both items are returned or the fee is paid in full. Students who do not return a student issued charger like the one pictured above will be marked as needing to pay the $23 charger replacement fee.
FCPS Summer Programs:
Students enrolled in the FCPS online campus, IMAGINE, or Young Scholars summer programs will be permitted to keep their laptops and chargers until the program concludes on Friday, August 2nd, 2024. Following program completion, devices must be returned promptly to Cooper Middle School.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We encourage you to discuss these return procedures with your child. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the timely return of your child’s laptop and charger and we wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable summer vacation.

End of Year Medication Pick-upAs the end of our school year approaches, please be reminded that all medications kept in the Health Room must be picked up by the end of the school year. All medications must be picked up by 12:00pm, Wednesday, June 12 by a parent. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed per FCPS regulations.

Rising 9th Grade Saxon StartLangley 9th grade students are encouraged to participate in the Saxon Start Program July 30th and 31st. More information can be found on the Langley website.
High School Credit CoursesHigh school credit-bearing courses will be reflected on the middle and high school transcripts. In accordance with Virginia state regulations, FCPS Regulation 2408 permits parents of students who take a high school credit-bearing course in middle school to request that the grade be omitted from the student's high school transcript and the student not earn high school credit for the course. Parents must make this request no later than the end of the first nine weeks of the school year following completion of the course. The request to expunge as well as guidelines and the procedures for expunging grades for high school courses taken in middle school can be found at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/is104.pdf
Contact your student’s counselor with any questions.
