I know you dread seeing any email from me on these routes. But this is a good one. Antelope tends to get overloaded when there is no 21st Century (Fridays, Special Events... ALL of May). So to help with that, we are moving the Vineyard Church @ Zalesky stop and the Thompson Rd & Garden Ln stop, aka the Bridgeport area, onto Big Horn. Hopefully this will alleviate any more issues with this situation. The spreadsheets have been changed to reflect this. Parents, view the new times on your SCHOOL website (not the district one) on your route's spreadsheet. If you have any questions, please call the Transportation Department. This change will go into effect beginning this Friday, March 22ndThank you for your understanding! - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director
Thank you to families and community members who came on National Agriculture Day to play Bingo to raise funds for Oak Creek School's Agriculture/Culinary program! They raised $955 for the program! Food sales raised were $258 and will be split between six 7th graders who volunteered to raise funds for their 2025 Washington D.C. school trip. 🌱

COCSD and Mingus Mountain Camp and Retreat Center joined forces to facilitate an enriching experience for our 7th/8th grade and 5th/6th grade students from four schools, guiding them towards "Finding the YETI" (You Belong, Everyone Matters, Tenacious Courage, Inclusion for All). This invaluable opportunity, provided at no cost, left an indelible mark on our students, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Over two nights at Mingus Mountain, our students forged connections with peers from across the district, embarked on thrilling mountain adventures, and discovered the incredible qualities within themselves.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Mingus Mountain and Mr. King, whose visionary dream brought children into the embrace of nature. We are also deeply grateful to the families who entrusted their children to support our inaugural Winter Camp at Mingus Mountain!

Technology class at Oak Creek School serves over 200 students. Tech teacher, Mr. Wheeler, wanted a way for students to store their headphones to extend their longevity. Viola! Low Income Student Aid, Inc. was able to purchase this rack for headphone storage.

Middle School students at Oak Creek School enjoy "Wacky Wednesday" each week. Students earn a little treat for having good grades, no office referrals or Rowdy Reflections. In an effort to not have teachers pay for such gestures out of pocket, Oak Creek Elementary PTO and Low Income Student Aid, Inc. both have helped support this small incentive.

7th Grade Cottonwood Condor Aviation Club toured Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and got VIP treatment: they toured 3 state-of-the-art labs (crash lab, ATC lab, and flight simulation lab) and even got to sit in a Diamond plane and learn the controls on the flight line! We are so lucky to have this partnership with ERAU!
