Welcome to Cooper School
The vision for Cooper School is to create resilient, critical thinkers who are successful academically, emotionally and socially. Our mission, as a partnership of families, community, staff and students, is to ensure that every child acquires an excellent academic foundation and becomes a responsible, respectful individual who desires to learn; through a challenging, standards-based curriculum delivered by an innovative, knowledgeable and caring staff in a safe, positive environment.

It is the belief that “It’s always a sunny day at Cooper”, that contributes to the staff’s positive approach to education. The entire school staff at Cooper is dedicated to providing a comprehensive academic program for students in a caring and positive environment. Our school goals are aligned with District and California State Standards in all curriculum areas. We offer a computer lab with a certificated specialist, an active student council, a school garden, service projects, after school tutoring and intervention, student clubs, and many extracurricular activities. Cooper places importance on the academic, social, and emotional development of its students. Our Second Step program of character development embraces respect for others and diversity and ensures our students learn positive behaviors and become responsible and caring citizens. Teachers often arrive early and stay late, providing assistance to students, working collaboratively, and planning their program. Cooper, Home of the Comets, is one of Vacaville Unified School District's ten elementary schools. Our K-6 school enjoys its growing ethnically diverse student body. On our playground, students of different cultures, ages and gender play together happily. Cooper School is known as an innovative, technologically-advanced, and academically successful school. We provide rigorous standards-based instruction and utilize data to guide that instruction. Our standards-based academic program includes components to reach all students regardless of background, ability, or learning style. Our school plan is reviewed and modified annually to assure that goals and resources achieve student success. The large staff includes 79 employees: 42 credentialed educators, 2 administrators, 3 clerical office assistants, 11 full and part-time specialists, 5 special education paraprofessionals, 3 custodians, 7 noon supervisors and 6 additional support staff. All of them are an integral part of our positive school culture. Cooper currently has 841 students but the Cooper community is made up of all of our stakeholders. Our staff works cooperatively, sharing resources and activities. Our staff strives for excellence, and their caring, collaboration, and collegiality are evident. Our staff treats students, parents and each other with courtesy and respect. This positive modeling influences student behavior and attitudes. Our school climate is one of trust, support and professionalism. We truly believe that It’s always a sunny day at Cooper”.
