As a commitment to the district’s sustainability goals, we’re launching a new program to promote and implement the Durango School District’s sustainability plan. Staff and students are invited to join a Green Team in each school.

Help your 1st through 8th grade child get excited about STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), make new friends, and have a great time after school.  Our district FIRST LEGO League Robotics teams are forming now.

The primary mission of the district’s Transportation Department is to provide students with safe and secure transportation to and from school in a friendly environment that enhances the total learning process.

Escalante MS looks forward to our 2023 fall sports programs. EMS offers Football and Volleyball to 7th and 8th-grade students. Students must register for their respective sport and have a sports physical before they can participate. Please see the links below for information on football and volleyball. Please contact Athletic Director Will Dodd at [email protected] or call the office at 970-247-9490 if you have questions. GO EAGLES!!!

Families: You matter in education! Family involvement is key to students' success. Research shows that when families are engaged in their students' learning, it results in increased academic performance, better mental health, and higher satisfaction with the school experience. There are many ways you can get involved in our schools and support your student throughout the year.

Did your student complete all 120 pages of the Summer Bridge workbook? Way to go! They will be well-prepared to jump back into the beginning of the school year, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 22.

We are three weeks away from the start of school! Here's a list of Fall Check-Ins at each of our schools. This event is a great time to complete

Miller Middle School families had a wonderful time at the Ice Cream Social & Meet the Team event on July 11. They had a chance to get to know the leadership team of new Principal Vernadette Norman (formerly with Albuquerque School District), and Assistant Principals Doug Geygan (former MMS principal) and Kalyn Knestrick (former MMS science teacher).

The Durango School District is holding a Job Fair on Tuesday, July 25 at the District Administration Building, from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

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.
