Just a reminder that Monday is a half day for students! We will be releasing students at 11:30 to allow time for parent conferences in the afternoon.
Today is National Custodian Day and we simply could not function without these outstanding members of the TRIBE! Thank you for making Cottrell SPARKLE!
Mark your calendars! We have a great night planned for our families on September 24! Our annual Title I meeting will be at 5:30 in the library and from 6-7, we will host Brain Games, which will teach parents fun and engaging ways to help your children at home. Students who attend one or both events will be entered into a drawing for one of 2 gift cards! We hope to see everyone there!
