Cossatot River School District

Check out how well our students represented CRSD at the Polk County Spelling Bee! Great job!

Cossatot River School District will be using AMI days for Thursday and Friday, January 20th and 21st due to staff shortages. Mrs. Brown is still getting calls today and has not finished entering all of the new names to the list of quarantined and isolated. We anticipate more teachers and staff being able to return to school on Tuesday, January 25th to resume normal classes. This will not affect any scheduled basketball games. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation as we continue to adjust to the situation.

Cossatot River School District is proud to showcase our staff members in The Staff Spotlight! This spotlight edition features Candace Sherrouse: I teach kindergarten at Van-Cove Elementary. This is my fourth year to teach kindergarten with CRSD. I graduated from Southern Arkansas University in 2018. Shortly after graduating, I was offered a wonderful opportunity teaching kindergarten at Umpire Elementary. This last year, I transferred to Van-Cove Elementary. I live in Wickes with my husband, Jesse Sherrouse, and my three kids, Alexander, Chloe, and Josiah. When I'm not working on classroom projects for my kinders, I'm working on projects for my family! Between the two, there is never a dull moment! Stay tuned for more great Staff Spotlight posts! 🦅 We are Unique. 🦅 We are United. 🦅 We are Cossatot River Strong!
