Happy Snowy Monday Families!

While there are no school delays or cancellations due to snow, we do know that the Durango area is a geographically diverse area and some roads may be more impacted than others. Please allow extra time for travel today and if you decide to delay or keep your students home, please contact your school directly to excuse your child.

Use Your Value Card to Support Schools

Did you know you can set up your City Market Value card to give back to one of our schools, student organizations, or PTOs. It's easy to do, but it needs to be updated every year.

Welcome Back to School

​Happy New Year 9-R Families,   With the presence of a snow storm today, I wanted to remind you of our procedures for analyzing conditions and making decisions regarding school delay or closure.  We live in a pretty diverse area and communities experience a variety of conditions.
