September News

Happy September Cook Hill Families!

Welcome back! We are so excited to begin another incredible school year together and could not be happier to welcome all of our Cook Hill students and families back into our community.

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome our Kindergarten through Grade 2 students back to school, and today, we are so excited to welcome our Preschool students! Our halls and classrooms are once again filled with laughter, learning, questions, curiosity, and excitement. What a wonderful school year we have ahead of us!

This year, our schoolwide theme is simple but powerful:

EVERY DAY. EVERY STUDENT. EVERY CONNECTION.

Every day gives us another opportunity to make a difference. To notice a student who needs us, build a relationship that matters, celebrate a small victory, or help a child see something in themselves that they may not yet see. As we begin this new school year, we are reminded that some of the most important work we do happens through the connections we make along the way.

Our goal is to ensure that every student feels safe, valued, challenged, supported, and proud to be a part of the Cook Hill community. We are so grateful to begin another year with our incredible students, staff, and families, and we know that together we can make this a meaningful and memorable year.

We also cannot wait to partner with all of our families throughout the school year. Your collaboration, support, and involvement are such an important part of your child's educational journey. Together, we will work to ensure that every student continues to grow, thrive, and reach their fullest potential here at Cook Hill.

We are looking forward to an exciting September filled with opportunities to connect as a school community. We hope to see many of you at our upcoming events!

Student Celebrations and Happenings

As part of our continued efforts to celebrate and recognize our amazing students, families, and staff we would like to invite families to complete our Student Celebrations and Happenings form!

The form will be open throughout the entire school year. Anytime your family or child celebrate or do something interesting, add a new submission!

Not only will we celebrate our school community together during our Morning Announcements, but (with the families permission) we will regularly share one of the submissions with our entire school community!

We cannot wait to see what our students, staff, and families are up to when they are being the change they want to see in the world and living their best lives!
