I know that there are so many unknowns going on right now with COVID- 19. Please know that the most important thing is keeping you and your family safe. This is a new situation for all of us so please bear with me and the district while we are figuring out how to keep your child actively learning from home. Please make sure you check the iBlog and Remind for updates. Also it is very important that you subscribe to Cotter’s iBlog. I will post some important links below under reminders. Here’s what we have going on this week.
What We are Learning This Week-
