Aviso: De acuerdo con las recomendaciones del Departamento de Salud Pública de Two Rivers, los parques infantiles en todas las Escuelas de Cozad ahora están cerrados. Cerraremos los parques infantiles para practicar el distanciamiento social y frenar la propagación de COVID-19.
Notice: Based on the recommendations of Two Rivers Public Health Department, the playgrounds at all Cozad Community Schools are now closed. We will be closing the playgrounds to practice social distancing and slow the spread of COVID-19.
Message from the Summer Youth Baseball/Softball Board: It is with a heavy heart that the Cozad Little League Board has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Summer Baseball/Softball program. The school’s announcement today that the school facility and all activities would now be cancelled until May 31, prompted our decision that in the best interest of our youth and community we must cancel the ball season.
Those of you that wrote checks to the Cozad Little League, those checks will now be shredded. Those of you that paid in cash, we will be mailing refund checks to you in the very near future.
Please take care and be safe. We look forward to working with everyone in the 2021 season. God Bless.
Congratulations to the 2020-2021 CHS Cheerleaders!
Message from Cozad Community Schools Superintendent Ron Wymore: This is to let you know that the school buildings will be closed until at least May 31st. This is a part of a new Directed Health Measure issued by Governor Ricketts. Graduation is postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date in accordance with regulations from the Two Rivers Health. NSAA has cancelled all activity practices and competitions including district and state competitions for the remainder of the school year.
Cozad Community Schools will continue with our on-line education for all students until the end of the school year. Your child needs to make sure to do the on-line activities and assignments for the rest of the year. Not doing the assignments could jeopardize their credits for the second semester classes.
Stay healthy and practice social distancing.
Parents: We will be adding Weekend meals to the Grab and Go meal service. We will send 3 meals home with students on Friday so that they have food over the weekend. The district and OPAA! are trying to ensure the students of Cozad have nutritious meals.
Unfortuantely, we are no longer able to do the Snack each day. NDE is reconsidering if we can serve it during the shutdown.
We will be having Chicken and Waffles today and Chicken Patty with Mashed Potatoes tomorrow. We are trying to continue to serve food that our students love while they are away from school.
Parents and Students may look up the menus at cozadschools.nutrislice.com. They may also download the Nutrislice Ap for their cell phone. Reminder, these meals are FREE for ALL children ages 1-18 and we have 6 pickup locations.
Our teachers miss you! On Wednesday, April 1st at 6:00 pm, Cozad Elementary and CEEC staff will drive through neighborhoods to say hello! Please practice Social Distancing/Staying Safe at Home Rules if you are lining your streets. You may also just park and wave from your car! Please see the route on the attached map. We hope that we can see many smiling faces and waves!
Hola, soy el superintendente Ron Wymore. Espero que todos se mantengan saludables, practiquen un distanciamiento social seguro y una higiene adecuada durante esta pandemia. Esto es para hacerle saber que estamos extendiendo el cierre de nuestra escuela hasta el 1 de mayo.

Continuaremos con nuestra educación en línea hasta que podamos regresar o hasta el final del año escolar. Gracias por ser paciente durante este tiempo de probar nuevas formas de brindar educación. Sus administradores y maestros han estado trabajando duro para hacer esto bien. Tendremos algunos golpes en el camino, pero lo superaremos juntos. No olvide que proporcionamos comidas de lunes a viernes a cualquier persona de 1 a 18 años. Si actualmente no está en la lista, complete el formulario en el sitio web o llame a la escuela para que se incluya en la lista. Gracias. "Es un gran día para ser un Haymaker"
