Welcome to Cottage Grove School!

Cottage Grove School is home to over 300 remarkable 1st and 2nd-grade students who bring energy, creativity, and boundless potential into our classrooms each day.

At Cottage Grove School, we stand firmly by our district's equity statement: "To be a safe, equitable, and inclusive learning community for everyone." This statement embodies our commitment to creating an environment where every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity enriches our educational experience, and we embrace the unique backgrounds and perspectives that each of our students, families, and staff brings to our school community.

We firmly believe that relationships are key to success in education. The relationships that we create with our students, families, and community are critical as we build a strong and supportive learning environment at CGS. We encourage open communication and collaboration between home and school, recognizing that together, we can empower our students to reach their fullest potential.

I am excited about the journey ahead and the remarkable growth that awaits our students. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, ideas, or concerns. We are here to partner with you in your child's educational journey.
