About Cowell

Home of the Cowell Scholars!

Here at Cowell Elementary, we serve students in a friendly, positive learning environment from Early Childhood Education through fifth grade.

We are a respectful community that fosters excitement for learning and holds high expectations for all who enter our doors.

We are focused on building the social, emotional and academic strengths our students will need to be scholars and citizens. Our instructional and school culture supports are consistent school-wide and provided by an excellent teaching staff.

Cowell Elementary School values and supports bilingual, biliterate learners.  Cowell operates under the Transitional Native Language Instruction (TNLI) model, in which students who are English learners begin studying in their native language and then transition toward English proficiency during their time in the elementary years.

We are committed to becoming a school where every student excels

• We utilize data-driven reading intervention and differentiated instruction.
• We meet individual needs for every student, accelerating learning for high-performing students and providing interventions and support when students face challenges.
• We offer after-school programming opportunities with our school partner, Discovery Link.
• We support our team to meet our learners’ needs with ongoing professional learning focused on language, literacy, math, and social & emotional learning.
• We value technology as a tool for learning for our students.  We have Chomebook carts for each grade level. (In our intermediate grades, we have enough Chromebooks for each student each day at school.) We have a variety of other computers, iPads and other supports for our students to be 21st Century learners.
