Cottonwood-Oak Creek Schools

📊 Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District Title I Team Meeting 📊 Today, our Title I team gathered to review the winter benchmark student achievement data, and we are excited to continue our work supporting the academic growth of all our students! 🎓✨ We discussed the progress our students have made so far this school year and identified areas where we can provide additional support and resources. By analyzing this data, we're able to tailor our strategies and interventions to ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed. Our focus remains on fostering a strong foundation for learning and closing any achievement gaps, and we are committed to working together as a community to help all our students reach their full potential. 💪 Thank you to our dedicated educators and staff for their continued hard work and commitment to student success! #TitleI #StudentSuccess #WinterBenchmarks #COCSDSTRONG #EducationalExcellence #TogetherWeGrow

The Ocelot Bots from Mountain View Preparatory and the Rowdy Roadrunners from Oak Creek School had a wonderful day of STEM learning and fun at Saturday’s Northern Arizona FIRST LEGO League Robotics tournament in Flagstaff. This year's “Submerged” theme had students “diving” into research about the major problems and potential solutions surrounding the world's oceans. Students competed in a robot game, where they designed, built and programmed robots to complete various missions on a LEGO obstacle course. Teams were also judged on their core values, and their innovation project presentation. Thank you, to our amazing Coaches from each School, Diane Schumacher and Theresa Romey for all you do for kids! Thank you to the 21st Century Program for making incredibly valuable experiences like these possible for our students. Go Robots!! #21stCCLC #MountainViewPrep #OakCreekSchool #RowdyRoadrunners #OcelotBots #COCSDRobotics
