Cottonwood Would Like to Wish You All A Very Happy Valentine's Day
Greetings Cottonwood Families
Cottonwood Cougar Families,
I cannot believe we are already in the month of February, this year is going by so fast! I am incredibly excited that this week starts the 1st week of Black History Month. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., once said, “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” During this month, we plan to celebrate those individuals that paved the foundation for us to continue to build on. I want to encourage our young scholars that their voices and words have power and when positively put to use can bring significant change.
Our school counselor, Mrs. Niaves, and teachers have planned many engaging activities for our young scholars to learn about a mixture of historical and current African American figures making a positive impact on society.
Our district is now rolling out a new communication platform for schools and parents called Parent Square. Please be on the lookout for new information coming your way.
A huge shout out to our staff and parents that met for our Parent/Teacher Conferences. I hope that each family walked away with valuable information and data about their scholar's academic, behavioral, and social growth from fall to winter. I am always excited to witness the collaboration between home and school to ensure the academic success of all our scholars. We thank you for spending the time to support our scholars as a team!
Take Care,
Mr. Trudel
