The First Hour Attendance Challenge started Tuesday, April 9. Our goal is to improve scholar attendance (and their learning levels and grades earned). Our scholars created a slogan to support daily attendance: "Each moment spent in school is an investment in my future." We are asking families to support scholars in coming to school every single day!
The Track Meet originally scheduled for tomorrow (April 10) in Durango has been cancelled. There is Track Practice after school today (April 9).
