Cottonwood Families,
It’s that time of year where our calendars start to really fill up with events. Please make sure you are looking at the running calendar which is posted on the front of our newsletter each week.
Transition Days for In-Coming Kindergarten and 5th Graders
In a few weeks, two really important events will be taking place. On Friday, May 5, our future Cottonwood Cougars will be attending Kindergarten Roundup. There will be two sessions one in the morning starting at 9:00 and another beginning at 1:00.
Remember, there will be no school that day for our current kindergarteners.
On that same day, our fifth graders will be visiting their future middle schools during the afternoon. Fifth graders will tour and have opportunities to ask questions about their future middle school.

Parent Pride:
A Parent Volunteer Group
Parent Pride Committees
The Parent Pride, a parent volunteer group, is an integral part of the Cottonwood community. Each year this group of volunteers help to organize and fund raise for the events and activities that take place at Cottonwood. There are no membership dues so we depend on donations or participation of our fund-raising events. We hope that you will consider volunteering your time to support one of these events. Please remember to check our weekly newsletter for other volunteer opportunities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Gina Rudloff at 402-715-1390 or gkrudloff@mpsomaha.org. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up below.
Thank you
Gina Rudloff
