#Be Kind
August 19, 2022
Cottonwood Families,
At Cottonwood we support the philosophy of Positive Behavior Intervention Systems or PBIS. PBIS schools believe in teaching behavior expectations and acknowledging students for following these common expectations. The purpose is to create an environment which promotes positive behavior and community.
At Cottonwood our motto is:
Cottonwood Cougars LEAD with PRIDE !
Learn Respectfully
Encourage Others
Act Safely
Demonstrate Responsibility
Staff members have been distributing Cougar Paws to individual students who are following school expectations and living our motto. These students are recognized during morning announcements and receive a variety of rewards based on the number of Cougar Paws he/she received. Some of the incentives include stickers, pencils, postcards, surprises and a student picture displayed in the Hall of Fame.
Each quarter, there is a drawing for bigger incentives. We are proud to implement such a positive program which recognizes the great behavior of our students and builds a strong community.
Thank you for being such a caring and supportive community. It is a privilege to work with your child(ren). Just remember:
"No Act of Kindness no matter how small is ever wasted." --Aesop
Do you have a Change of Plans in your Dismissal Plans?
We understand that sometimes your plans change for student pick up. In the event that you need to pick up your child early, there is a change in who is picking up, or your child is being picked up instead of daycare, please contact the office at 402-715-1390. We will be happy to relay the message. Please do not only email the classroom teacher. They may not have the opportunity to check their email as they are in the middle of instruction.

Parent Pride:
A Parent Volunteer Group
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
Parent Pride Committees
Our Parent Pride would like to create an online directory. Information such as name, phone number and address are shared. Parents often find the directory a useful resource for planning such events as playdates and birthdays. If you do NOT wish for your information to be published, please respond in writing to Mrs. Rudloff (gkrudloff@mpsomaha.org) by September 30th. After that date, we will begin the process of publishing and distributing it to Cottonwood families.
