Students, Parents & Guardians,
We want to make you aware of a concerning trend circulating on TikTok that encourages students to intentionally damage or destroy school-issued Chromebooks. This type of behavior is a direct violation of both the Mobile Device Agreement and the Responsible Use Agreement that all students and parents signed at the beginning of the school year. Anyone who intentionally damages or destroys their Chromebook or other school-owned technology may be held responsible for the full replacement cost and may also be subject to additional disciplinary action. These actions are not covered by the take-home protection fee.
We ask for your support in reminding students to treat their devices—and all school property—with care and responsibility. Let’s work together to finish the school year strong, safely, and the #HaymakerWay.
Dr. Dan Endorf, Superintendent
Cozad Community Schools

🎉 Shout-Out to Our Integrity Superstars! 🎉
This month, we’re celebrating our Cozad Elementary students who were Caught Showing Integrity!
Integrity means doing the right thing—even when no one is watching—and these students have shown honesty, responsibility, and strong character in big and small ways. Whether it was returning a lost item, owning up to a mistake, or standing up for what’s right, they reminded us all what it means to be trustworthy and dependable.
💛 Keep shining, showing integrity, and making Cozad Elementary a place where character counts every day!
Good luck to our CHS Boys Golfers today!
