Photo tour

Visit our campus

An accessible, inclusive campus, ready for every student, with room to welcome more. We invite the Board to tour our school with our staff and students.

Two photos: the covered main entrance of Cottage Lake Elementary, and the new blue and yellow inclusive playground. Quote: “CLE is conveniently located for our family and has the facilities and resources needed to support [my children’s] individual needs in one location. Over the past two years, we have built trust and strong relationships with the staff who know our children and understand how to best support them.” — Cottage Lake Parent
The main entrance and the new inclusive playground
Two photos: the gym with a climbing wall, mats and a stage, and the separate cafeteria with rows of tables. Quote: “At Cottage Lake Elementary, students of all abilities learn alongside and from one another, creating opportunities for meaningful friendships and a genuine sense of belonging for every student. Cottage Lake has created something truly special - the kind of school we want our children to grow up in.” — Cottage Lake Parent
A dedicated gym with a stage, and a separate cafeteria
Two photos: a classroom door reading “When everyone is included everyone wins” under a Disability Pride flag, and a long, bright hallway with wood beams and high windows. Quote: “Through our FSA program, my children have learned more about empathy, understanding, and compassion than we could ever teach them on our own… They have learned to embrace differences, lead with kindness, and include others rather than judge or exclude. These are lessons that go far beyond the classroom… among the most valuable things our children can take into the world.” — Cottage Lake Parent
Inclusive classrooms and bright, open hallways
Two photos: the school elevator, and a wide paved path past the building toward the playground. Quote: “Cottage Lake has worked tirelessly to become fully inclusive… led by our own staff, without outside training or grants, and with the steadfast support of our community. Our school serves some of the most vulnerable students in our district… students who are welcomed, loved, and have a home here. We have made every aspect of our school inclusive… with spaces and facilities that support every student’s independence and participation. If every student can’t access it, we don’t do it.” — Cottage Lake Parent & Staff Member
