We are dedicated to educating the whole child with dignity, respect, and equality by nurturing a joy of lifetime learning in each Cottonwood student. Our goal is for Cottonwood Elementary students to become successful, productive members of society in the 21st Century. The students' strengths and talents will be developed and weaknesses improved through increased communication between students, parents, and the Cottonwood staff. The staff, the parents, and the students of Cottonwood Elementary School will help facilitate a love of life-long reading through a commitment to improve performance at school and at home. Through the support and involvement of the Wright community, Cottonwood Elementary School, and the Campbell County School District, a successful educational program will be achieved in a pleasant learning environment that is friendly, safe, and orderly.
Schools exist first and foremost for teaching and learning.
All students can learn. Success is judged on the basis of outcomes. Common curriculum objectives by grade and subject provide the framework for learning. 5 Teachers cause learning. Self-esteem promotes achievement.
