Archuleta School District schools to reopen Tuesday, Nov. 10

Posted

Archuleta School District schools will reopen tomorrow, on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

At this point, town Public Works officials have completed needed repairs to the sewer system, downtown conditions have been deemed safe, all school buildings are safe for students and staff, we have sufficient staffing to support students' return, and transportation services are ready to resume (with some route adjustments below). 

While welcoming students back provides essential routines, supportive relationships, and safe environments during recovery, we fully recognize that road conditions and individual circumstances vary across our district. Any student unable to safely return to school will have their absence fully excused.

Please review the specific bus route changes outlined here. On other routes, families should still allow extra time as we restart school tomorrow. And if your family has been displaced and needs temporary or longer-term transportation arrangements, please contact us at (970) 264-0392, ext. 9600. 

Our hearts go out to all the families impacted by this historic flooding, especially those who have suffered property damage, lost their homes or continue to face uncertainty. We are deeply grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly throughout the crisis and continue to support our community's recovery. While our community’s full recovery will take time, our district remains committed to standing with our families every step of the way.
