Greetings Cottonwood Creek ACTION School Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the break and is finding 2020 to be off to a great start. We are off to an exciting start at Cottonwood and I am happy to announce a staffing change that is taking place second semester. Dr. Morse will be moving from the Media Specialist position to .5 Assistant Principal and .5 Instructional Coach while Mrs. Udy will become the Media Specialist. They are both looking forward to their new roles at Cottonwood. Mrs. Udy is excited to put her School Library Media K-12 Certificate to good use as the librarian while Dr. Morse is thrilled to join the administrative team at Cottonwood Creek.
Please join me in celebrating this change and welcome Dr. Morse and Mrs. Udy to their new roles.
Happy New Year!
Lisa Vrvilo
