At The Cottonwood School, we know how important it is to provide a place for families to be together for co-schooling, fun, and community-building for both students and parents. One way we do this is by opening our Community Connect Center each Monday from 10 am to 2 pm for our families to learn, explore, and build relationships.

 

The structure of each Monday is as follows:

  • 10 am-1 pm: Quiet explorative play & schoolwork
  • 1 pm-2 pm: Staff-led, parent-guided activity
  • 2 pm: Head to Craft & Storytime at the Lending Library or home!

This is a great time to get schoolwork done, meet up with friends and teachers, and meet other Cottonwood families! If you haven’t been to the site before, it’s a great way to spend some time with us and get some questions answered by a Family Liaison or HST on-site. Our 1 PM staffed activities rotate between the following:

  • In-person literacy activities with Superstar Readers
  • Mindful Movement with our SELF Coordinator, Kelly McIntosh
  • World of Music with Mr. Jamin
  • Activities from our Educational Design Experts
  • Craft days with our Family Liaisons
