    Community Council is a committee made up of Parents and Faculty to represent the needs of your students and classes. Community Council develops required state plans every year. You can read a copy of these plans by visiting https://www.schools.utah.gov/schoollandtrust/parents and looking up the information for our school.

  • What are Land Trusts?

    In our meetings, we discuss ways that Utah Land Trust monies can be and are spent for Cottonwood Elementary.

    Land Trusts are designated areas in the state of Utah where profits are devoted to education throughout Utah.

  • How can I get involved?

    Please let any of the council members know if there is something we can do for our students to support their academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs here at Cottonwood Elementary.


    Elected parents serve for a two-year term. You must have a child enrolled in the school for at least one of the two years of your term to be eligible to run.


    We invite parents to consider serving on the school community council. Voting is held every fall. You, as parents, can directly influence how the Lands Trust Funds are spent in our school.
