January is School Board Recognition Month, and we'd like to thank our wonderful trustees for all of the hours they spend serving the students and staff in CCISD. Thank you!


Parents, here is a look at this month's school calendar. CCISD staff return Monday, classes will resume Tuesday morning when students return from break.


Happy New Year from Copperas Cove ISD!


Students from the CCJHS National Junior Honor Society recently visited Mae Stevens Early Learning Academy to participate in Literacy Day with Cove's Pre-K students. They read to classes, took part in literacy stations and participated in library activities.

The administration at S.C. Lee Jr. High recently visited the campus' teachers with a Treat Trolley, offering sausage biscuits, donuts and coffee to keep teachers going during a busy stretch.



CCISD held Computer Science Week Dec. 9th-13th as part of Code.org's Hour of Code, showing students that anybody could learn coding. Students learned coding basics and completed daily activities, like graphic design.
