Good Luck Cozad Haymaker basketball teams at Ogallala today!
Huge Shout-Out to Pastor Eric Most and The Crossing for gifting our entire building staff with coffee today from Crazytown Cookies! Thanks so much from Cozad Elementary!
Congratulations to our mid-term graduates! CHS has four seniors that have completed their CHS academic career and will graduate mid-term. The mid-term graduation will be held tomorrow, Saturday, January 7th, at 11:00 am in the High School Auditorium. We are so proud of Alysiah Urquiza-Buss, Autumn Smith, Tate Wolfe, and Bianca Simants.
TIME CHANGE ON BASKETBALL GAMES SATURDAY, JANUARY 7TH: The girls JV game will be only 2 quarters on Saturday starting at 4:00 pm. Because they are only playing 2 quarter we will start the girls varsity game around 5:30 pm instead of 6:00 pm with the boys varsity game to follow at approximately 7:00 pm.
Each semester I will provide data snapshots of Cozad Community Schools. The focus this year has been on English Language Arts, as we have adopted new curriculum resources. This data is a testament to our staff's hard work in all areas.
Test scores don't just occur from a student's core block. It is our lunch ladies filling student bellies, our paras supporting in the classroom, all teachers helping to develop writing skills in question responses and reading comprehension in text, our custodians making sure our buildings are taken care of, and many others working in the same direction.
As I state in the snapshots: When looking at data, we always celebrate the positives and try to diagnose the areas we can improve in. Data is a great way to continue to grow and be the best version of ourselves. Data is, and always will be just one piece of the puzzle. Cozad Community Schools is focused on always getting better!
-Connor Williams, Director of Teaching and Learning
