Fort Lewis Mesa Families-
Happy September! Although we are moving into the fall, the weather is not quite mirroring this shift yet; it has been hot. Despite the heat, please enjoy the sunny days as well as time with family and friends.
Due to many families reaching out to me regarding our next steps for increasing in-person learning for students, I wanted to connect with you. While we have continued to see a reduction in local transmission rates and moved to level blue on the dial last weekend, we are now back to level yellow given some increases.
Please join us for our Fort Lewis Mesa SAAC meeting tomorrow, November 18, 2020. The meeting will be via Zoom starting at 11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. See the following information to join the Zoom meeting~
I would like to invite you to join me in dialogue about everything that is going on in our school community at Fort Lewis Mesa, from staffing to program offerings to our future.
The Durango School District 9-R has a goal of optimizing student access to in-person learning while simultaneously promoting health and safety by minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The many mitigation strategies suggested and supported by the CDPHE and our local health authorities play an important role in ensuring success with this goal.
9-R will be hosting vaccine clinics for Covid-19 Vaccine 2nd doses, in conjunction with San Juan Basin Public Health (SJBPH). Our elementary school based vaccine clinics will serve students, staff, and families of Durango School District 9-R. Vaccines will be available for 5-11 year olds, as well as teens and adults.
