Dear Parents/Guardians of COU 6th, 7th, and 8th graders,
As you may or may not be aware, in March of 2020 our Charter Oak-Ute Junior High was selected as a winner in the KTIV Making a Difference Contest. By winning this contest, the entire Junior High Student Body wins a trip to Arnold’s Park in Okoboji, IA. Under normal circumstances, we would’ve taken this field trip at the end of the school year, however, due to CoVid-19, and Arnold’s Park recently shutting down, the best way to reward the students is to give each 6th, 7th, and 8th grader their own personal FREE admission ticket and let you decide when would be a good day for you to go as a family or with a small group of friends. Tickets for all previous 6th, 7th and 8th graders from this past school year will have their tickets waiting in the office If you would like to stop by the school to pick them up. If you would like your ticket mailed to you, simply call the office and we will send them out. Thank you and congratulations to the COU Student Council for submitting the winning video to showcase just how COU is Making a Difference!
Please take the following survey developed by our school district in order to further plan for the following school year. The link to the survey is as follows:
