Cossatot River School District

🏐 ATTENTION 🏐

Let's go, Wildcats! Week 2 is here-- get ready to POWER through it!

🌟 Big congratulations to Gwen Bradshaw, a senior at Cossatot River High School, who earned a spot in the 2025 AAU Junior Olympics in Houston this summer! She showed up and showed out—finishing 30th in the NATION in women’s shot put and 48th in the NATION in women’s discus! 👏 The AAU Junior Olympic Games are the largest youth multi-sport event in the U.S., bringing together nearly 15,000 athletes from across the country to compete in 12+ sports. We are so proud of Gwen and her incredible accomplishments! 🩶🦅

🎬 That's a wrap on week 1, Wildcats! We hope it was an awesome start to the year--- rest up, recharge, and come back Tuesday morning ready to crush week 2! 🐾

🚗 Attention Cossatot River Elementary Families🚗 Since the consolidation of our schools, we have noticed the need to adjust our car rider procedures to better ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. 👉 New Route (Morning & Afternoon Car Riders): 
The new route will follow Hwy 278, turn onto South Second Street (by City Hall), continue straight on Council Drive, then turn right into the old Wickes High School/Holbert Auditorium Parking Lot. Cars will exit from School Drive onto Hwy 71. These changes will apply to both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement these changes. Please review the map of the new car rider route and help us keep arrival/dismissal safe and efficient for everyone. Morning drop-off begins at 7:15 and afternoon pick-up begins at 4:10. Thank you for working with us to make sure our Eagles SOAR safely every day! 🦅🩶🖤

📘 Our 6th grade social studies students are sharpening their thinking skills! They are using graphic organizers to build one-sentence summaries, helping them capture the big ideas in a clear and concise way. ✍️

Our CRES students are diving into social studies by using reliable sources to explore and answer compelling questions. They’re building skills to think critically, research effectively, and support their ideas with evidence! 📚🌎

Get ready to smile, Wildcats! Picture day is coming on Friday, August 29, 2025! Pre-K through 11th grade will be taking fall, yearbook pictures. Seniors will have a $20 sitting fee and will be taking cap and gown pictures, formal pictures, and casual senior pictures.

🚗✨CRES Car Rider Line Update✨🚗 We want to thank our families for their patience as we adjust to the much larger number of vehicles in our car rider line this year. We currently have more than double the amount of cars compared to last year, and we know this has caused some delays. Please know that student safety is our top priority, and we are actively working on a plan to make the process as safe and efficient as possible. We truly appreciate your understanding and support as we work to find the best solution for everyone. 🩶🦅

A sweet start to the school year! Thank you to the American Legion for treating our staff to donuts on the first day of school. Your kindness and support mean so much to our school community!

We hope to see you there as we lift up our area schools in prayer for a safe and successful school year!
