Jack Cockrill Middle School

The mission of Cockrill Middle School, the foundation of academic excellence, is to ignite our students' interests and imaginations, inspire a passion for learning, and foster a sense of responsibility through mutually vested relationships and meaningful experiences.

The Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) has sponsored the Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) since 1994. VASE is the only art event of its kind in the nation. Students are provided the opportunity to bring artworks created in their art classes to their regional event where they are interviewed by a certified juror who evaluates their work based on a standard based rubric and their understanding of the art processes involved in the development of their artwork. Congratulations to all of our medal winners:

We apologize, but we cannot deliver items to classrooms. When we have tried to do that, sometimes the teacher forgets to give the item to a student, or the item disappears off the desk, etc. Therefore, we will continue to hold things in the front office for students so they can stop by in between classes and pick up.

Thank you so much for planning in advance, but you do not have to call the school and let us know that your child will be absent that day. Sending a note with your child when he/she returns will suffice. If you forget to send the note the day your child returns, don’t worry because you have three days to turn it in.

We are going to reschedule Muffins with Moms for the spring semester since we just had Donuts with Dads.
