Welcome to the Family Support Services Website. We believe that it is important for parents to know about and be involved in their child/ren's education, so we post monthly information about classroom and after-school activities.

Coopertown Kindergarten Extended Day News

Last Year

We spent last spring learning about frogs and toads, the wonderful customs of Mexico, and the ever-changing weather. We also discussed foods grown on farms, and talked about how these foods were transported to our stores. The ocean unit (which always a classroom favorite) featured ocean creatures, seashells, and other ocean related topics, like beaches.

In Spanish, we focused on learning words for the different aspects of weather, farm animals, and sea creatures.

All of our Flat Stanleys had remarkable travels as they moved across America and beyond; we enjoyed sharing their adventures with the class.

Next Year

Even though we are now on summer break, we are getting ready for the coming year. If you have already enrolled in extended day you should have received information about your program and your School closing package in the mail.

We still have some openings in our Kindergarten Extended Day program, so if you have not yet enrolled in our 2008-2009 Extended Day Kindergarten you can still download a form (click on the document you want to download under Related Information in the right sidebar) and mail it in with your enrollment fee. The school closing package can also be downloaded—but only until September 29th!

School starts September 2nd.

Coopertown After School Program News

Last year

It's hard to believe that the school year actually ended and all that fun now has to wait until September to start up again. Bubble day, water relays, baseball games, water balloon sports, jump rope contests, bocce and chess tournaments, after care Olympics, awards day, and our strawberries and whipped cream contest made the year go quickly.

Our May/June art activities (which included picture frame making, butterfly painting, card making using 3-D flowers, splash painting, and scratch art door hangers) were followed by an end-of-the year luau complete with hula dancing, Hawaiian food, and a volcanic eruption.

Next Year

We can't wait to see all our returning students in the fall—and notice how they've all grown. We also look forward to welcoming our new students.

Our after school program is fully enrolled for next year, but don't forget to consider the School Closing Package. You must sign up before September 29th.
