We are excited to share that Cottonwood will be hosting a movie night on Friday, January 26th. Please read further in our newsletter for more details and volunteer opportunities.
Carpools/Daycare
There is a Cottonwood family with a 2nd and 3rd grader who is looking for before/after school care and/or needing to join a car pool. The family leaves near WyCliffe Apartments. If you are interested or could relay some information that is helpful, please contact our office so we can share that information with the family. Thank in advance for your help.

Inclement Weather Reminders
Inclement Weather
There may be some occasions when attending school due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may not be advisable. Student safety and learning is always the top priority for Millard Public Schools. With that in mind, Millard Public Schools will utilize a few options including 1) eLearning Days 2) Late Starts and 3) cancelling school. Late Start and eLearning days will not need to be made up at the end of the school year.
The District will communicate with staff and families when we may need to utilize one of these options. Announcements related to using any of the above options will be made on the radio and TV stations by 6 a.m. The announcement will also be posted on Millard’s website: www.mpsomaha.org. Parents and staff will also receive automated phone calls, texts and emails from our automated system. Typically, phone calls occur after 6:00 a.m., depending on when the decision is made.
Late start days will begin exactly 2 hours later than the normal school start time. When weather permits for a later start, the streets, sidewalks and parking lots can be better cleared and rush hour traffic can be complete. On typical school days, our Cottonwood doors open at 8:15 a.m. and school starts at 8:30 a.m., on late start days the Cottonwood doors will open at 10:15 a.m. and school will start at 10:30 a.m. Our lunch schedule will remain the same.
PE
Dear 4th and 5th Cottonwood Families,
On Thursday, January 11th and Friday, January 12th, Cottonwood 4th and 5th grade students will be participating in Archery. I will instruct each class on safety protocols and practice the class prior. This is one of my favorite opportunities for the students to attempt. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me (asreck@mpsomaha.org).
