On September 11, Rangely Junior/Senior High School was placed on a short hold shortly after school began. This is part of the standard response protocol we use as part of the "I love you guys.” In this situation, we had an emergency medical situation that seemed most appropriate for students to stay in their classrooms while emergency personnel transported a school employee to a vehicle for further treatment. At no time was anyone at risk. However, we did our best to protect the kids.

In the second week of August, high school band students participated in a band camp hosted by Rangely Junior/Senior High Band Teacher Mr. Solis. Shout-out to clarinet player Freshman Faith Prieto for not missing one day. “Faith was always on time and ready to work. Her clarinet and marching skills skyrocketed in the few days of camp. Her happy and go-to attitude will make her a pivotal member of our ensemble this coming year.” -Mr. Solis Words from Faith Fun Fact: I like the color green and hope to improve my high notes (on clarinet). “Camp has helped teach me something valuable: marching and playing fundamentals for the year. It is fun to play an instrument! Great Job Faith!

As we head into the new school year, let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe! ⚠️ Slow Down: Reduce your speed in school zones and be extra cautious near bus stops. 🚦 Stop for the Bus: When those red lights are flashing, it’s the law to stop! Let's keep our streets safe for our students. 👀 Stay Alert: Kids can be unpredictable. Always keep an eye out, especially during pick-up and drop-off times. 🚶🏼Colorado crosswalk laws require drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Together, we can ensure a safe journey for all our students. Let’s make this school year the safest one yet!
