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 School Security Disbursement program enacted by SB18-269 provides funding to improve security in public school facilities and vehicles and to support training for school personnel. The Colorado Division of Homeland Security made $29M in funds available to school districts across the state and Durango was awarded $1.1M in the grant to support its ongoing school safety measures.
The following is a non-emergency message from Durango School District 9-R for all parents, students, and staff at Fort Lewis Mesa Elementary. Phone services have been restored to the school and you now may contact the school directly at (970) 588-3331. Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve the issue.
