Greetings, Cooper City High School Families,

It is with immense excitement and pride that I welcome you to the start of the 2023-2024 school year at Cooper City High School.

Being part of the Cowboy family is a unique and cherished experience. Each member of our community contributes to our legacy of High Expectations, a Tradition of Excellence, and an abiding Cowboy Community Pride. Our amazing scholars, dedicated faculty and staff, engaged parents, and supportive community partners form the heart and soul of Cooper City High School. Our shared values and relationships are the foundation of our success.

Centered around our theme for this academic year, "Motivate… Educate… Accelerate… Every '1' Counts," we honor our past achievements while eagerly embracing a bright future. Our commitment to maintaining our tradition of excellence remains steadfast, with a focus on providing exceptional academics and fostering a culture of inclusivity and compassion.

Here are some important reminders:

• Student school hours are 7:40 am to 2:40 pm; supervision is provided from 7:10 am to 3:10 pm. Please review the Bell schedule and Red(A-day)/ Black (B-day) 
• Please remember that all students must wear their school ID to gain entrance to our campus. Students who did not pick up their new IDs this week should bring an ID from last school year, and we will ensure that they receive a new 2023-24 school ID during the first week of school. Student IDs must be worn to campus daily, and students must keep them on throughout the day. Students must display them at all times while on campus.
• Student Code of Conduct and Back-to-School Forms: Please review the Code of Student Conduct Handbook and complete the required mandatory forms by accessing the Back-to-School Forms.  The mandatory forms are the Code of Conduct Acknowledgement, the Emergency Contact Information, the Media Release, the Student Housing Questionnaire, and other Opt-Out forms at: https://scaweb.browardschools.com/bts/
• Please review the BCPS Dress Code Policy with your student. I appreciate your support.

As always, at Cooper City High School, safety and security remain our top priority: if you see something, say something. We all play a role in safety here at CCHS as we aim to provide the highest quality education in a safe and secure environment. We will continue accelerating student achievement through innovative programs and pedagogical practices while nurturing a culture of kindness, care, and compassion in a safe and secure environment for all.

 I appreciate and value your partnership and encourage you to contact me and my team anytime with questions, concerns, and ideas. We are collaborative partners in your child's educational journey, ensuring safety, well-being, and academic success. You can contact us at CCHS to address your questions, comments, and concerns, and you are invited to follow us on Twitter: @Principal_CCHS  for updates.

As we step into this new school year together, let's remember that each day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact. I am excited to witness the achievements and milestones that await each of our Cowboy scholars.
