A Message from the William E. Cottle Elementary School- The Cottle Weekly
November 14, 2025
Dear Cottle Families,
As we move into the week of November 14, 2025, our school is filled with excitement and gratitude as we begin the transition into the holiday season. Over the next several weeks, our students will take part in a variety of meaningful learning experiences and festive events that celebrate community, kindness, and the joy of coming together. From classroom activities to upcoming school-wide gatherings, we look forward to a season filled with warmth, connection, and opportunities for our students to shine. Thank you for your continued partnership and support during this special time of year.
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from our special education community! The Tuckahoe School District has officially chartered its own Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA), Unit 18-437. This marks a wonderful milestone in our commitment to supporting students of all abilities, their families, and the dedicated educators who work with them. SEPTA will play an important role in fostering inclusion, collaboration, and advocacy across our schools. Please see the attached announcement for more details, including how you can become a charter member and join in celebrating this special moment for our district.
Get the latest and greatest on all the fantastic things our amazing PTA is doing—stay informed and stay involved!
