Dear Parents,
COCSD and Mingus High School are teaming up to bring band programs to all four of our schools! Join us at Parent Night to learn more about these exciting after-school opportunities that will soon be available for your children.
If you have any questions before the meeting, please contact Mr. Stallworth at: jstallworth@muhs.com.
This week and next, your children will have the opportunity to see the Mingus Band on tour at our schools! Be sure to ask them about it, and together, let's help grow this wonderful program in our community.
We look forward to seeing you there!

We are extending an invitation to decorate Masquerade Masks on October 10, 3:00-5:30, at the Cottonwood Public Library. It should be a creative time; filled with fun and camaraderie. These masks will be auctioned off either at our November Gala or our Mystery Event (TBD) . Hopefully, COCSD and the Verde Valley community would be interested in participating in this event by attending the mask decorating. 😉Thanks, for always being so supportive of the positive mentorship of our Verde children. Have an awesome week.
With a Sincere Thank You,

Good morning OCS families! Due to too many riders on the Antelope bus, we will be moving some students over to the Big Horn Sheep bus to accommodate. All of those who's stops are along the Page Springs stretch will now be on the Big Horn Sheep bus for both the AM and PM routes, with the exception of Page Springs and Bright Star. This will begin tomorrow, Friday Sept 27. The routes have been updated on our website so you can see the times from there. Thank you for your understanding! - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director
