Lubbock-Cooper High School

Our LCP Pirates advanced to the state semi-final game. They will be playing South Oak Cliff High School on Friday, December 10th, at 7:30pm at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene.

• If your student plans to leave school early from school to travel to Abilene for the game, please enter the early out in Skyward by the end of the school day on Thursday, December 9th.
• Please do not plan for your child to leave school prior to 3pm on Friday to attend the game
• Any class missed Friday afternoon PRIOR to 3pm will be subject to the 90% attendance law and exemption requirements.
• Class missed AFTER 3pm to attend the playoff game will not count against attendance and exemption requirements.

Exemption time is coming up soon. On Tuesday, Dec. 7th during CHAT, students will either receive their exemption card or a bill detailing fines they still owe. They will have until Tuesday, Dec. 14th to clear up any fines they still have.

All students must take finals in all classes unless:

● Must have an 85 average or above to exempt

● Accelerated and Honors, AP, Dual Credit, On-Ramps points can be added

● The student has perfect attendance AND a 70 average or above average in the class the student wishes to exempt (can only be used for one class)

Please note, students will LOSE exemption status due to any of the following:

● The student has outstanding debt (students will have the ability to pay debts to gain exemption)

● The student has four or more tardies in the class the student wants to exempt

● The student has four or more absences in the class the student wants to exempt or one or more unexcused absence (U-U) in the class a student wants to exempt

• Covid related absences do not count against students when it relates to exemptions

For the purpose of losing the ability to exempt a final, an unexcused absence is any absence that has been coded U-U in Skyward. A U-U is recorded when:

• the high school attendance office has no record from a parent/guardian for why the student did not attend a class.
• attendance office staff makes attempts to contact a parent/guardian when a U-U has been recorded. If unable to reach a parent/guardian, the absence remains a U-U.

Follow the link below to pay student debts online. Students can also pay in person in the Commons starting Tuesday, December 7th.

Recently, students in Mrs. Leija's Health Science Theory class participated in an activity where they acted out and recorded scenarios of torts and ethical violations in healthcare. This course is designed to provide for the development of advanced knowledge and skills related to a wide variety of health careers. Students will have hands-on experiences for continued knowledge and skill development. Students will also identify the employment opportunities, technology, and safety requirements of the healthcare industry. Students are expected to apply the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a health science career through education and employment.
