In Durango we have so much to be proud of in the way that staff, students, and the community rallied during our school closure to ensure that we did the best we could for students with what we had. It is with this pride and assurance of the commitment of our staff and families that we fashion our Return to Learn 9-R plan. Our plan provides quality options for families including an in-person option, a remote option, and a blended option that combines some elements of in-person and remote.

It also provides important safeguards to our staff to ensure that they can be also be safe and have limited risk. This plan represents our best thinking in the current context based upon the guidance and direction provided by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

A focus on equity and support of all our students is a driving force in this Return to Learn 9-R plan. We know that our diverse student population relies on school in multiple ways beyond solely academic learning. We also know that many students and families struggled in the all-remote learning environment which reinforces our desire to return to in-person learning.

The planning landscape seems to shift daily. While this document presents our best thinking to date, we know that we will continue to learn and adapt as more is known about how to safely return to learning. We will all need to be flexible in order to pivot our approaches as conditions change so that we might provide our best for students. We will continue to seek input and communicate as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Ahora podemos compartir nuestro Plan DRAFT de Retorno al Aprendizaje con nuestra comunidad para dar tiempo a comentarios, preguntas y eventualmente para que las familias puedan hacer sus selecciones.

 En Durango tenemos mucho de qué sentirnos orgullosos de la forma en que el personal, los estudiantes y la comunidad se unieron durante el cierre de nuestra escuela para garantizar que hicimos lo mejor que pudimos para los estudiantes con lo que teníamos. Es con este orgullo y garantía del compromiso de nuestro personal y nuestras familias que formamos nuestro plan de Volver a Aprender 9-R. Nuestro plan ofrece opciones de calidad para familias, incluida una opción en persona, una opción remota y una opción combinada que combina algunos elementos en persona y remoto.
