Cockrell Hill Elementary

Where Students Are Achievers

A Message from Principal Robinson: 

CHLMA Family,

We have completed several weeks of online school! You all have done an amazing job ensuring that students are engaged academically during this unprecedented time. THANK YOU!  As we continue to work together to support students and families please feel free to reach out to me if you need anything.  Our main goal right now is to ensure the health and safety of our families.  We value the work that you are doing.  Although we do not like the idea of this pandemic, we hope that this time has increased positive family relationships, fun times, and that you all are creating additional memories that will last a life time.

Our teachers have worked diligently to set up Google Classrooms as one of the online platforms we will utilize for instruction in the upcoming weeks to support student learning. If your child has not been able to access their Google Classroom, please contact your child's teacher via ClassDojo or email. (Teacher email addresses are firstname.lastname@desotoisd.org)  Teachers will also meet with students weekly via Zoom to provide support and stay connected to one another.

As we have new developments we will keep you posted. Again, thank you for your continued support of Cockrell Hill. #TogetherWeWill
