Welcome to the Cottonwood Elementary School web site! The 2009-10 school year began with back-to-school balloons soaring in the air as 353 excited youngsters anxiously gathered outside. Even the littlest Cougar knows that the start of a school year carries the special promise of fresh learning, new friends, and innovative projects.

There are many components to a successful school, and Cottonwood has them all. We have a strong community that works to support the school. We have caring families that get involved in the education of their children. We have skilled teachers who can look at a child and see an entire person full of potential. Finally, we have the resolve to work together to give that child a positive learning environment in order to teach him/her what is necessary to become a successful, productive citizen.

we developed in school year 2003-2004. In 2007-2008, our Site Planning Team wrote a new plan to guide us into the next five years. If you would like to read our new plan, there is a link at the bottom of this page.

We are excited to continue our relationships with PAYBAC Partners Remington Heights Retirement Community, Omaha State Bank, Children’s Hospital, Hy-Vee, the Nebraska Humane Society and Mama’s Pizza. We currently are working in concert with our partners on community service goals, such as our annual walk for Children’s Hospital and planning a Veteran’s Day assembly and Patriotic Pancake Supper to honor those who have are still serving our country in the military.

You can see that there is a lot going on with the Cottonwood Cougars. Please take a few minutes to tour the website and learn about our school. I think you’ll find Cottonwood a great place to grow a child!

Sincerely,
