Dear 9-R Bus Riders and Families,
Happy New Year families! We are making some changes to the routes that serve Fort Lewis Mesa, which includes all FL1, FL2 and FL3 afternoon routes. This change is required in order to ensure that High School students who also ride the bus are picked up on time.
After working with a self-organized community group, hosting several community meetings and receiving expert review and recommendation, the school district is implementing a new visitor check-in system at all schools. Visitors will be requested to provide a government issued ID; this will be used to create a sort of user account for you in our system.
Hello Families,
Welcome Back! I hope this letter finds everyone enjoying their last few weeks of summer vacation. We are excited to begin our year together. First, I want to welcome back our returning families and a big welcome to new families. Life continues to move around us… Life events are always taking place… and what is always constant is our commitment as a staff to come into Fort Lewis Mesa Elementary and put forth our best effort for EACH and EVERY student that arrives in our building.
Dear Families,
You student’s new school ID was recently issued for the 2017-18 school year. Student IDs serve a multitude of purposes within the district, including bus access and school library use. Student IDs issued this year are valid through the entire school year, as well as through the beginning of the 2018/19 school year until new photos and IDs are issued.
The following is an emergency message from Durango School District 9-R to all parents, students, and staff in the district. Due to severe weather conditions and based on recommendations from County Emergency Management personnel, all schools are canceled today, Wednesday, January 16, 2019.
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.
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.
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.
Fort Lewis Mesa Elementary is a community of learners including students, staff, parents, and community members committed to working together collaboratively for the success of ALL!!!
