College and Career Week Speakers
Are you passionate about your career? Sign up to be a guest speaker during Cozine's annual College and Career Week from May 13-17th. Guest speakers will have thirty minutes inside a classroom to teach the students about their career and answer any questions. For more information please contact Ms. Holroyd at holrom@nv.ccsd.net.
REMINDER: Cozine is Hiring!
Cozine is hiring for a Sub on Special Assignment (SOSA) position. A SOSA works directly with our school to fill in any classroom where the teacher is absent for the day and no substitute teacher has filled the position. A person that would be good for the SOSA role is someone who is flexible and can shift mindsets to work with various grade levels on different days. This is a 5 day, full day position.
A SOSA must hold a substitute license with the District and state, but we can help with that process. If you would like more information about this, please let us know here at Cozine.
REMINDER: Read to Spin, Spin to Win!
All students (K-5) should be reading each night as part of their homework. Reading daily positively affects academic achievement, improves writing skills, stimulates creativity, and helps to build empathy. All minutes read should be recorded on the student's APPLE CORE bookmark. Once the bookmark is complete and turned in, students will have the opportunity to spin the prize wheel.
REMINDER: Cell Phones and Smart Watches
At Cozine, students are required to keep their personal communication devices off and in their backpacks during instructional hours. Students are permitted to use their phones before and after school. This aligns with district policy that helps prevent bullying, cyber bullying, unfiltered internet access, and cheating. If you have questions about this policy, please reach out to the office or school administration.
