Parents Forum is an organization of dedicated parents devoted to enriching our children's education at The John Cooper School through volunteer activities. Every parent or guardian of a Cooper student is automatically a member of Parents Forum. Parent participation is encouraged and welcomed. The primary functions of Parents Forum are recruiting and organizing volunteers, sponsoring social events for parents and students, and facilitating information flow between the school and parents.
