Dear Cottle School Families,
As we approach the end of March, we are looking forward to the arrival of spring and all the renewed energy it brings to our school community. With spring break beginning next week, we hope our students and families enjoy a well-deserved time to rest, recharge, and spend time together. We are also hopeful that true spring weather is just around the corner! This past Wednesday marked Opening Day for baseball, a sure sign that warmer days are ahead and a reminder of the excitement this season brings. Thank you, as always, for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the weeks ahead.
We had another fantastic week at Cottle with the return of our incredible Building Bridges program! This meaningful and engaging experience continues to be a highlight for our students each year, offering interactive activities and grade-level lessons that help children better understand different disabilities and develop empathy for the daily experiences of others. It was truly a special, inclusive, and enlightening opportunity for all involved. A huge thank you to our PTA for continuing to support and sustain this amazing program and tradition—we are so grateful for your dedication to our school community!
Our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for April 9th and 10th, providing an excellent opportunity to discuss your child’s progress. As you know, communication between home and school plays a key role in your child’s success. Please keep an eye out for further information from your child’s teacher(s) about conference sign-up slots. The 4th and 5th grade parent teacher conferences will follow the same format as last year's Spring conferences. If you have any questions regarding 4th or 5th grade Parent-Teacher Conferences, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher(s).
