Welcome to a new school year! I love everything about Cottonwood: dynamic staff, dedicated teachers, amazing office, great custodian, amazing cafeteria, and the BEST parent support around! Thank you for helping to make Cottonwood the place to be!
I am asking for your help in helping make school a top priority. Help students prepare the night before so the mornings can be little to no stress. The beginning of the year always brings tummy aches, head aches, fatigue, and more. These anxious feelings are normal and we have an amazing staff here at school that can help your little one navigate big feelings. Just let us know. We are here for them!
I also want to thank you in advance for following our drop off and pick up procedures. We invite you to watch our informative video to help navigate procedures if you are new to Cottonwood or would like a refesher. The biggest thing we need your help with is keeping the line of cars moving. Please do not get out of your vehicle if you are in the drop off/pick up lane. If you need to help your child with a seat belt, please pull into a designated spot to do so. The video can be found on our website, or by clicking here.
Did you know that Cottonwood offers breakfast? Students can purchase a breakfast for $0.90 and enter the back cafeteria doors starting at 8:05 in the morning. Our school lunches are super yummy too. If making lunch is stressful at home, we’ve got you covered. Lunches are $1.50. Menus for meals can be found here.
Finally, please keep current with Cottonwood. Please follow our Instagram @CottonwoodEl and bookmark our website: http://schools.granitschools.org/cottonwood.
Thank you for your support in being partners in education. I believe that a love of learning, high academic achievement, and parental involvement are keys to a lifelong love of learning and education. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher with any questions, comments or kudos. You are always welcome to reach out to me as well. Happy September!
Love, Mrs. Cooper
