This summer, students in grades 3–11 will bring home their school-issued devices. They can continue to access enrichment opportunities through familiar platforms such as Sora and i-Ready. Please note that students entering grades 3, 6, 9, and 12 will receive new devices at the start of the upcoming school year.

This year we were lucky to have duck hatchlings here at Cottle School for our 4th graders. It has been a truly special and enriching experience for our students. Watching the life cycle unfold in real time—from eggs to fluffy ducklings—has sparked curiosity, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for nature in our classrooms. This hands-on learning opportunity allows students to witness the responsibility and care that living things require, while also fostering a sense of wonder and empathy. It’s a memorable way to connect science with real life and build meaningful connections to the world around us.
