This is a friendly reminder that there will not be school tomorrow Friday, March 5th for all of the Archuleta School District schools. Enjoy your 3-day weekend.

Schools today are on a 2-hour delay due to varied poor visibility throughout the district. Busses will run 2 hours later than usual and students and staff will report 2 hours later than usual. High school is still remote.

As Spring approaches, please help us do our part to maintain a healthy community and healthy schools as we continue to fight COVID together. While vaccines are being distributed to staff in our schools, there currently is not a vaccine for students. Reminders: Keep students home if they have any symptoms, wear a mask indoors, practice social distancing, avoid large gatherings, wash your hands often, bring a personal water bottle and do not share personal items. Thank you for helping to keep students and the community safe and healthy.

HUGE thank you to Pagosa Springs Medical Center and ASD's own Nurse Morgan for your partnership with the school district to give our staff the opportunity to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine--what an amazing job done by PSMC and Nurse Morgan to get everyone vaccinated with their first dose in one day. The District is beyond grateful for all you have done to keep our community and our schools healthy and safe. Thank you.

The School Board authorizes local organization, Build Pagosa, to begin the fundraising process with the goal to raise funds to build a new CTE/vocational facility for Pagosa Springs High School’s CTE (Career and Technical Education) Program.

Welcome Nurse B, we are so thankful to have you on board.

As Pagosa Family School's first principal, Jane Parker loves the idea of building bridges between kids, families, and different educational options.

As the district's first full-time School Resource Officer (SRO), Deputy James Martinez is a welcomed addition to the ongoing efforts of ASD staff to ensure the safety and security of students, staff, and everyone connected to our schools.
