Message from the Superintendent

We’re very excited to join the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program because it opens up new opportunities for teachers to fund projects that will help them provide the kind of educational experiences our students need to be prepared to thrive in the 21st Century. By partnering with DonorsChoose, we can better support Cottonwood-Oak Creek teachers who are creating lessons that increase students’ excitement about coming to school every day.
