What a wonderful beginning of the

year it has been! Open House started

it all off and we have been off and

running ever since. Thank you to all

the families that were able to join us

for our first PTO Meeting &

Curriculum Night!

This year, we have three areas of

focus for our School Improvement

Plan: 1) Professional Learning

Communities 2) Positive Behavior

Interventions and Support and 3)

Communication. These three areas

were identified as areas of focus from

our Student Performance Data and the

Student, Parent & Staff surveys from

2010-2011. Throughout the year, we

will provide updates and solicit

feedback on our progress.

I want to thank each family for

partnering with us for the best

experience possible for our children.

The Car Rider lines have been moving

smoothly in the morning and afternoon.

Bus Transportation is running

efficiently, as the drivers are learning

their students and their routes.

Teaching and learning is happening all

over campus. It is shaping up to a

fantastic year!

We look forward to seeing you soon

Sincerely,Alison Moore, Principal

INVEST IN YOUR

CHILD!

IIYC!

IYC stands for Invest In Your Child and is a

undraiser that relies on monetary donations to

our school!

Why the IIYC Campaign?

The IIYC Campaign is a very efficient means of

undraising for several reasons....heres a few: 1)

t is 100% PROFIT; which means ALL monies

donated go directly to meeting the needs of our

chool! 2) It is 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE! - your

contribution is completely tax deductible!

What are the donations used for?

Our main focus of instruction at Cox Mill is to

build 21st century learners capable of utilizing

echnology to accomplish projects & tasks. Our

goal for this year is to attain an interactive board

or every classroom. We only lack thirteen

boards to make that happen!!

How does it work?

The IIYC campaign will officially begin Monday,

September 12th, when donation letters go home

n your students backpack. Please give

generously! Giving is entirely voluntary, but we

do strive for 100% participation. No matter

what the amount, your donation will help! Dont
