Halloween

Halloween Parties and Parade

Halloween is fast approaching. Each classroom will have a few volunteers to help with the party. Only volunteers will admitted to the classrooms during the Halloween Parties. All guests are welcome to watch the Halloween parade which will take place at 3:15 pm. If you are planning to watch the parade from inside the building, you will need to RSVP in advance and sign in when you arrive. If you are going to view the parade from outside, you will not need to preregister. Allow yourself plenty of time to find parking. The blacktop will be open to parking that day.

Students will be dismissed right after the parade. Please allow time for your child(ren) to get their things from their classroom after the parade. We will not be calling students out of their classroom after the parade. We ask that guests wait outside in their cars after the parade. Teachers will bring students out and supervise them like normal dismissal. Please register for the parade or volunteer with the links below.

Health Room

Cottonwood Elementary School will be performing non-diagnostic health screens to students in grades 1 through 4 in accordance with the Nebraska State Statute, #173 NAC 7. The purpose of the screening is to identify any possible health concerns and provide feedback to the student’s parents/guardians for follow-up. The screenings measure the following: height, hearing, vision, weight, and dental health. These screenings will start taking place in November 2023. If you do not wish for your child to be screened, please contact Cottonwood Elementary School at 402-715-1391 or email your school healthcare provider, Roxie Znamenacek, RN at rlznamenacek@mpsomaha.org

If any student’s screening reveals a concern, the parent/guardians will be notified within 30 days.

Walking Club

Last Walking Club for this semester is Friday, October 27th. We will resume again in the spring. Thank you to the parents who helped walk with our students. The turnout has been phenomenal!
