We know you’re thinking of all the things you need to do to make sure your student is ready for school. Getting vaccinated is an important part of their school readiness and keeps children from catching and spreading diseases that can make them sick and potentially disrupt in-person learning.

Durango 9-R Student Support Services and School Liaisons are looking for volunteers to build six Little Free Library Boxes with the goal of increasing book access and reading opportunities for students in our community.

Durango School District 9-R has the opportunity to accelerate highly advanced gifted children under age 5 for kindergarten and/or under age 6 for first grade. This Early Access is for those eligible students if their birthdays fall after October 1st.  It is intended to support students who are evaluated to be exceptional in aptitude/cognitive reasoning, academics, school readiness, and motivation.

The next 9-R Board of Education Regular Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 25, 5:30-8:00PM.

As we navigate the latest surge in COVID-19, we encourage 9-R families and staff to continue to support efforts to keep one another safe and healthy.

The Durango School District 9-R seeks community feedback and input as a final Academic Calendar for the 2021/22 school year is adopted.
In this survey, two calendars are presented.
Please submit your response by January 19, 2022.
