Parent Meeting: In preparation for the 21-22 school year Miller Middle School is hosting two parent meetings. The meetings are geared toward providing as much information as we can on what we are thinking next year will look like.
Durango 9-R Is fortunate to have employees who have been serving the district for more than 20 years. This week we want to recognize Tara Haller, who teaches mathematics and computer science at DHS. Tara has been with 9-R for 27 years!
Josephine Valencia has worked in the cleaning industry all of her life. For the past eight years she’s been with the Durango School District 9-R. She’s been the Custodian at Animas Valley Elementary School for five years.
We continually monitor our student and system results to ensure that we are on track to realize this mission. At 9-R, we believe every student deserves to have a solid academic foundation that opens the window of opportunity for any career in which they are interested. They also deserve to have experiences that help them understand their talents, interests, and possible future career options.
The districts up for election are District A, District C, and District E. Districts A, C, and E will be elected for 4 year terms. Mail ballots will be sent the week of October 11.
Steve Lee has been driving buses and trucks for a long time. What initially drew him to drive a school bus for the Durango School District 9-R was the hours and benefits. The shifts are typically two hours in the morning and three in the afternoon, which also happens to be enough to earn full benefits, and give him time to run his business during the day.
During the month of September, our schools, students and staff have been steadfast in ensuring we maintain our mitigation measures, decreasing chances of outbreaks of COVID-19 in our schools, and increasing the chances of keeping schools open and safe.
The League of Women voters of La Plata County will host a Durango 9-R School District Director Candidate Forum on Thursday, October 14, 2021, from 6:00-7:30PM via Zoom.
Dear 9-R Families, Thank you for all that you are doing to support safe and healthy schools during this academic year. In order to further support in person learning, we are offering weekly COVID-19 testing through the school district.
Miller Middle School is a community of well-rounded learners who achieve academic excellence for college and career readiness, as well as social emotional awareness, in a safe, supportive learning environment.
