Principal's Message

Dear Husky Families,
We’ve had a great start to our new school year! Don’t forget to attend our Back to School Night followed by an Ice Cream Social this Wednesday, September 7th from 4:30-5:30. Students are excited to show families their classrooms and demonstrate some of the skills they’ve learned. Don’t forget to check both the Our Husky Pack Board highlighting our amazing staff and the Husky Family and Friends Board in the main hallway. Bring your photos to share or email them to [email protected]

Monday Morning Meetings will begin at 7:30 in the cafeteria this year. Parents are welcome to attend. Please keep in mind that Mondays are also early release days throughout the district this year. Animas Valley Elementary students will be released at 1:30pm.
