Parents, Students, and Community members: If any of you are contacted by a company called School District Publishing, out of Riesel, Texas, trying to sell you an advertisement on behalf of Cozad Community Schools, do NOT take the ad or send them any money. This is a scam that has been pulled on businesses and individuals that we deal with.

CCS parents: Our bulk email service provider is experiencing problems with our PowerSchool parent emails. We apologize for the inconvenience and we are working on a solution. In the meantime, if you do not receive expected email updates from PowerSchool, please log on to the parent portal to check records for your child. https://studentinfo.cozad.k12.ne.us/public/home.html

From Mrs. Heimann 3rd grade class: "Our year is winding down with AR and I am impressed with these kids! They have read a total of 4, 208, 353 words! It’s been a joy to see them grow this year and go from short picture books to full novels. They are the definition of #strongertogether through the way they held each other accountable and cheered each other on. I can’t wait to see you continue to grow! -Mrs. Heimann “
