Watch for Updates on the Durangoschools.org Website

Dear EMS Community, March 13, 2020

It’s definitely been a hectic few days with a quickly shifting landscape in regard to our nation’s response to COVID-19. I encourage you to be checking in with our district’s website for details. Here is that link: https://www.durangoschools.org/

I want to make sure that we are clear in our communication on a couple of events specific to Escalante. In alignment with our district’s efforts to slow the spread of the virus, we are canceling all after-school activities, athletics, field trips, and events that invite numerous community members into our school until further notice. This means that we will not be conducting in-person student-led conferences on March 30th.

One of the ways you can support our efforts is to reinforce some hygiene habits. If they can return with hand-washing skills intact it would go a long way towards keeping our school healthy.

I look forward to welcoming back our students when the restrictions are lifted. Please do regularly check the district’s website in the event that the state’s guidelines for school response changes over the next weeks.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Voss
EMS, Principal
