Join us in welcoming Mr. Bryan Bazata, a new addition to the Cozad Middle School teaching team for the 2024-2025 school year. Bryan may be new to the middle school, but he's certainly not new to our community. Alongside his wife Claire, Bryan calls Cozad home, and they're proud parents to three wonderful children who are part of the Cozad Community School system. We're thrilled to have Bryan on board as a Special Education teacher, where his dedication to our students and passion for education will surely make a difference. With his roots firmly planted in Cozad, Bryan brings a unique perspective and a genuine commitment to our school community. Let's extend a big Haymaker welcome to Bryan Bazata! We're excited to have you as part of our Haymaker team!

ELEMENTARY PARENTS/GUARDIANS!
We want to remind you of the drop off plan in the morning at the elementary. Some key things to remember:
- SLOW, our number one priority is the safety of our kids.
- Pull up to the right curb to drop off, teachers will be passing on the left to get to our parking lot.
- Students NEED to exit the vehicle on the right side to the sidewalk. If they have to get out on the left, please be cognizant of passing cars.
-We now have a sidewalk all the way across the front, please pull all the way up so we can drop off as many kids at once as possible.
