Dear Cotten and Twin Hills at Cotten Parents and Guardians,

Effective immediately, parents and guardians of students attending James A. Cotten Intermediate School and Twin Hills Elementary at Cotten should not be using the Willingboro Post Office parking lot (16 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) for student pick-up or drop-off.

To ensure the safety of students, staff, and community members, all student pick-up and drop-off must take place in the designated parking lot of Cotten.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to maintain safe and orderly arrival and dismissal procedures for our students.

Thank you for your continued partnership.
