Fall Festival at Bent River Ranch. October 26th. Hay rides, face painting, food truck and pumpkins!


Happy Friday Cottonwood Parents, Guardians, and community members. We are reaching out with a specific request for support.
We have identified a pressing need for health aids at our schools. Many of our students experience “accidents” and we are running low on donated clothing available for them to change into. Often, families are unable to leave work to assist, leaving students in the nurse's office.
We would greatly appreciate any used children's clothing for grades K-8 that you would be willing to donate. This need extends beyond Dr. Daniel Bright school, so any contributions would also benefit other schools in our community. Additionally, NEW underwear donations would be extremely helpful.
Our students and faculty are truly grateful for your ongoing support, and we feel blessed to be part of such a caring community.
Thank you for considering this request!


Come out for some fun Halloween events sponsored by the City of Cottonwood!
#COCSD #cityofcottonwood #halloween



We are extending an invitation to decorate Masquerade Masks on October 10, 3:00-5:30, at the Cottonwood Public Library. It should be a creative time; filled with fun and camaraderie. These masks will be auctioned off either at our November Gala or our Mystery Event (TBD) . Hopefully, COCSD and the Verde Valley community would be interested in participating in this event by attending the mask decorating. 😉Thanks, for always being so supportive of the positive mentorship of our Verde children. Have an awesome week.
With a Sincere Thank You,

Hello DDB families... Our Diamondback route driver's last day will be this Friday, Oct 4th. We WILL have coverage as the driver who had it previously is driving it again starting on Monday, Oct 7th. But since he will still be driving another route before-hand, this will make the Diamondback route start later in the afternoon. We are looking at a 20 minute possible delay before leaving DDB. Please contact the Transportation Dept if you have questions. Thank you - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director.
