Dear Cottonwood Family, My favorite season is Spring! I love the smell of a fresh rain, the new flowers in bloom, the chirp of birds in the morning, and just hanging out outside in my backyard. My fingers are crossed for no more snow! I sure hope you all have a lot of fun over Spring Break. Spring Break is from Monday, April 7 - Friday, April 11th. Thank you for helping us keep our environment the absolute best it can be and not distract ...

Dear Cottonwood Family,Will we have 6 more weeks of winter? Will the groundhog see his shadow? In my honest opinion, as much as I hate the cold, we need more snow—6 more weeks, please! We all know that weather conditions here in Salt Lake City can be tricky. Students can walk out the door in the morning with a beautiful outlook on the day, and within just a few short minutes, we can have bitter cold wind, rain, snow, etc. The fact of the matter ...

Dear Cottonwood Family, As we wrap up our first term of the school year and begin our second, I’m continually amazed at how quickly the time flies! A few weeks ago your child brought home their report cards, which provide a snapshot of the progress they’re making. Our Granite School District Proficiency-Based Learning model is designed to communicate exactly where students are in their learning journey. Each grade reflects what students know ...

Dear Cottonwood Family, Welcome to October! This year is moving right along.  I am impressed with our wonderful students, teachers, staff,  parents, and PTA! Cottonwood is an amazing school but the building is nothing without the people.  With October comes a change in the weather. Please send your children with clothing that is appropriate for the weather of the day. Utah is well known for having all four seasons in one day. ...
