Cottonwood

Text Box: From Mrs. Nelson — On Tuesday, Nov. 28th, the Site Planning Team met for a full day of work building the plan that will guide us for the next four years. We emerged with six objectives that mirror District objectives but are worded to fit Cottonwood. We have four new strategies to work on, but the mission statement remains unchanged. The next step is to select two Action Team Leaders for each strategy. Each strategy will have a team that creates plans to guide our actions toward reaching the stated goal. Action Team Leaders can be staff or parents. If after reading the new strategies you might be interested in co-leading a team, please let me know. The District will train the new leaders on Dec. 10 at 3:45 at Norris Elementary School. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about this process. Names must be turned in next week. My sincere thanks to the following Site Planning Team members who so willingly and whole-heartedly gave us their time and energy on Tuesday: Sheila Bolmeier, Deb Catalano, Sue Johannes, Deb Levy, Sue Mischo, Anne Pane, Debbie Peterson, Lindsay Peterson, Caroljean Shirley, and Sue Steckelberg. What follows and is continued inside the newsletter, is our draft plan: Mission Cottonwood Elementary School, in a coordinated effort with home and community, will provide innovative educational experiences that recognize and promote diverse abilities to guarantee achievement of each student’s personal and academic best.
