Back-to-school supply lists are designed to facilitate a smooth transition into the new academic year. By detailing the required items for each grade level, these lists eliminate the guesswork, saving you time and effort. By following the list closely, you can ensure that your child has all the necessary materials to thrive academically.

Due to the number of Snow Day school closures this winter, Durango School District 9-R has announced a plan to make up school days in the remainder of the 2022/23 school year.

Introducing our Back-to-School Countdown: Plan ahead, step by step, for your student's successful school year.
Each week, we will send helpful information and tips to prepare your child for the first week of the 2023-2024 school year.
Up this week: Your student's health.

There was a threat to Durango High School this morning. Staff and students at all of our schools are safe.

School’s out, but Durango School District 9-R is encouraging students to work on learning through the summer – with fun events as a motivating reward. The Summer Bridge program combines free activity books with checkpoints, events, and prizes to continue learning this summer and be ready for the next grade level.
