From Eastside PTK: Wow, Eastside! What an amazing Walk-a-Thon this year! With your help and the support of our wonderful community, we raised $32,904.44 -- a new school record! We know how hard all of you worked to make this possible, and we are thrilled to direct these funds right back to our students and school. Please give yourselves a very enthusiastic pat on the back for all your effort and dedication. We appreciate you all to the moon and back! We have some specific acknowledgments we'd like to make as well: Thank you, Eastside teachers and staff, for all your help in coordinating logistics, encouraging the students, and participating in the event alongside the kids. You are amazing! Thank you, Mr. Gallagher, for being a wonderful school leader and for being willing to accept the challenge of sleeping on the school roof if the students raised over $10,000. Well, they beat that goal twice over by raising $21,604.44! We'll be excited to greet you in your PJs this week. You're awesome! Thank you, Eastside students and families, for showing up once again and demonstrating how much you love our school. There's nothing we can't accomplish when we work together. Thank you to all the fabulous business sponsors on our list, t-shirts, and banner. It is because of your incredible generosity that we raised $11,300 from business sponsorships alone! Thank you, Cody Police Department, Cody Firefighters, CHS Band, Cody Enterprise, Amos Olson, and Big Horn Radio Network, for supporting the students at the event. Your presence, photos, energy, etc. took our event to the next level and really hyped up the kids. Thank you, Jessica Ondler and Dani Blankenship, for taking on coordinating the event once again. It was a smashing success, and we are grateful for all your hard work. For anyone we've missed, please forgive us and know that we see you and thank you. It takes a village. Warm Regards on Behalf of the Eastside PTK, Melissa Maier PTK President

Park 6 Families, This morning at approximately 7:30 a.m. Cody High School administration received a message from the school resource officer indicating that there was a social media post circulating that could be directed at Cody High School, the author of the post mentioned CHS. This information prompted the district’s crisis management team to put Cody High School into a shelter-in-place and the district notified families of the situation. Cody PD responded to CHS and swept the building, following this sweep they verified there was no threat to students. Additional Park County law enforcement officers began investigating the origins of the social media post. They determined the post originated in Clovis, New Mexico several years ago. The post mentions a threat to CHS. A student from a neighboring school district saw this post and thought it was targeted at Cody High School and sent it to a CHS student who then reported it to law enforcement. At approximately 8:10 Cody PD informed the District’s crisis team that this was not a credible threat and that the normal operation of Cody High School could resume. We thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as the district and Cody PD worked together to resolve this situation. We are extremely proud of how our scholars responded to this situation.

Good Morning Park 6 Families, This morning a false report of a school shooting at Cody High School was called into the Park County Law Enforcement Center. Cody PD responded quickly and verified that there was no threat and that the students were safe. This unfortunate event seems part of a nationwide trend called "swatting". We are thankful for our local law enforcement acting quickly to verify the situation. Once again, no threat was found, and the students are safe.

Linked below is a letter that came home on Friday, along with a workbook. This is for future days when school may be closed for a short period. Most likely these would be weather-related closures (snow day for example). Please keep the workbook in a safe place that is accessible if necessary. These books will also be used for our summer learning challenge. More info to come on that as we closer to the end of the year. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10wqAN-jm-Fng8-wrfXb9AhNzSoHmv52h/view?usp=sharing
