Celebrating a Year of Growth, Joy, and Togetherness!
As we enter the final month of this incredible school year, I want to take a moment to share just how proud I am of every single student at Cook Hill Elementary School. This year has been filled with learning, laughter, kindness, and so many examples of what makes our school community so special. Together—students, staff, and families—we’ve worked hard to promote a positive school climate, and your efforts have made a lasting impact.
Our last day of school for students will be Friday, June 13th, and it will be a half-day early release. Please remember that all remaining school days are mandatory attendance days. As a school, we’ve been working toward our important attendance goal: to have less than 10% of our students considered chronically absent. Let’s finish strong together!
The last few days of school will be filled with memory-making moments and camaraderie. We’ll be honoring students with perfect attendance, as well as celebrating those who have shown improvement in attendance based on our district goals. On our final day, students can look forward to Fun in the Sun Day—a time to play, celebrate, and reflect on all they’ve accomplished this year.
We also encourage students to share their summer plans, stories, and photos! We can’t wait to hear about the adventures and joy our students experience in the months ahead.
Thank you, families, for your ongoing partnership, dedication, and commitment to the success of our students. This year has truly been a collaborative success, and we’re so grateful for all you’ve done to support our school community.
Here’s to a strong finish and a bright summer ahead! 💙🌞
In collaboration,
Mr. Munroe and the Cook Hill Team

Student Celebrations and Happenings
As part of our continued efforts to celebrate and recognize our amazing students, families, and staff we would like to invite families to complete our Student Celebrations and Happenings form!
The form will be open throughout the entire school year. Anytime your family or child celebrate or do something interesting, add a new submission!
Not only will we celebrate our school community together during our Morning Announcements, but (with the families permission) we will regularly share one of the submissions with our entire school community!
We cannot wait to see what our students, staff, and families are up to when they are being the change they want to see in the world and living their best lives!
