Cody Elementary is one of the smallest of the twenty-four Millard Elementary schools in terms of enrollment, but it is one of the largest in terms of special programs and commitment to children.
Cody offers eight after school clubs for students interested in expanding their knowledge in technology, math, science, art, drama, music, and literature. Cody houses four special needs preschool classrooms and three other rooms for special needs students. Over 45% of our students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. This qualifies us to be an “All Title I” school, which provides funding for additional teachers to maintain small teacher to student ratios.
Cody was the first Millard School to offer a breakfast program. To further meet the needs of the students. Cody operates both primary and intermediate study centers. The intermediate center serves over 30 students each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:30. Students voluntarily attend because they know they will get their homework done with assistance from certified teachers. The primary center is by invitation only for kindergarteners, first and second graders and is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-4:30.
Cody has also been awarded a grant from the State of Nebraska to operate an income eligible preschool. We call this program Earlystart. Earlystart has prepared over 150 four year olds for Kindergarten the past several years.
The staff of 38 certified and 21 classified employees works very hard to meet the needs of our 310 preschool through 5th grade students. There is a mutual respect between teachers, students, and parents that have helped us earn several honors and awards. We were especially pleased to have earned the Exemplary Reading Program Award from the International Reading Association in 1994-95 and we were named the Nebraska Distinguished Title I school in 1997-98.
