Cote Day School was located on a reserve, two miles north of Kamsack, Saskatchewan. It was operated by The Presbyterian Church in Canada, and later, The United Church of Canada. Department of Indian Affairs records list "Cote Improved Day School" was opened in 1916 by The Presbyterian Church in Canada as a replacement for its Crowstand Residential School. During the 1920s some students boarded at the day school. After 1925 and throughout the 1930-50s operations continued under the Woman's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada . In 1950 a new day school was opened on the reserve, and at this point records began referring to schools No. 1 and No. 2. The No. 2 school was likely called "Hillside School." In 1954 a third school opened in the area, across the Assiniboine River. Government records indicate that the two schools affiliated with The United Church closed in 1963, and 1979. Further research is required to confirm the closure dates of the school(s), more information about the operation and general history of the school(s).
