Cougar Weekly Update
September 13, 2019
Principal's Message
First Grade Back to School Night was held this week. It was great to see 113 of our families involved and present during the first grade evening. Each grade level is sharing important information as well as demonstrating for parents ways to help students at home. I appreciate the work of teachers to create a meaningful learning experience for families.
The PTO also held the first meeting of this year on Tuesday. I enjoyed seeing some new faces on the Executive Board. I especially appreciate Mrs. Jennifer Uzogara and Mrs. Marian Rodriguez who are the Vice Presidents for Cougar Elementary. The PTO supports many experiences for children and families during the year. See the upcoming events section of the newsletter for dates for Spirit Nights!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Gwynn
