Special Education Faculty
We are blessed to have amazing Special Education teachers here at Cooper! Unlike homeroom teachers, Special Education teachers may work with several different grade levels during the course of their school day. Please see below to see grade-level assignments. If you have any questions about your child's IEP or related services, please contact your child's case manager or teacher.
