Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, March 25th and 26th, from 4:00–8:00 PM.
We look forward to connecting with you and discussing your child’s progress. Please make this a priority to engage with your student's education.
As we approach our upcoming state testing period, we want to take a moment to share important information and emphasize how you can help your student succeed.
Testing Dates and Times:
State testing will take place April 6th through April 16th, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM each day. During this window, students will participate in CMAS and PSAT/SAT assessments.
State assessments play a key role in measuring student progress, guiding instruction, and helping our school understand how well we are meeting academic standards. While these tests are just one measure of learning, they provide valuable insights that support improvements in teaching and learning for all students.
To help your student do their best, attendance and punctuality are essential. Please ensure your child:
Arrives at school on time (before 8:00 AM)
Is well-rested
Attends school on all scheduled testing days
Testing sessions begin promptly, and late arrivals may not be able to enter once testing has started, which can disrupt their experience.
We also want families to be aware that there is an option to opt out of state testing. If you are considering this option, please contact the school office for more information about the process and to discuss any questions you may have.
We appreciate your continued support in helping create a positive and focused testing environment. Together, we can ensure every student has the opportunity to demonstrate their learning and growth.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Rob Tressler
Testing Coordinator
Thank you,
Ms. Tammy

Good afternoon Cotopaxi families please read the following notice taking effect on January 12, 2026 :
Formal Notice to School Community and Staff Regarding Caffeine Pouches
This notice is intended to inform all members of the school community, including staff, students, and families, of the school’s position regarding the possession and use of caffeine pouches on school property.
Effective 1/12/2026, caffeine pouches are prohibited on all school grounds. For the purposes of enforcement, these products will be treated the same as nicotine and THC pouches, and any possession or use will result in consequences aligned with the Student Handbook policies governing nicotine/THC products and controlled substances.
This determination has been made for the following reasons:
Health and Safety Considerations
Caffeine pouches can contain high concentrations of caffeine, which may negatively impact student health, including increased heart rate, anxiety, nausea, and impaired focus.Inability to Distinguish Product Contents
Caffeine, nicotine, and THC pouches are often visually indistinguishable. School staff cannot reliably determine the contents of a pouch at the time of discovery. To ensure consistent, fair, and enforceable application of school policy, all such products must be addressed uniformly.Consistency With a Safe and Productive Learning Environment
Allowing these products on campus undermines established policies designed to support student well-being, safety, and an environment conducive to learning.
Staff are asked to enforce this policy consistently and refer any violations to administration in accordance with established procedures. Students and families are expected to comply fully with this policy.
Thank you to our staff and community for your cooperation and continued support in maintaining a safe and healthy school environment.
