🌟 Meet Our New Staff! 🌟 Please join us in welcoming Kirstie Kilduff to the Rangely School District team! Kirstie is stepping into the role of Preschool Director at the EEC, where she’ll spend her days helping Rangely’s littlest learners get a great start on their school journey. Originally from Meeker, Colorado—but don’t hold that against her! 😉—Kirstie and her family have called Rangely home for about seven years. She and her husband are raising their three children here, and she has been actively involved in our schools, local businesses, youth activities, and community organizations. Kirstie’s background is rooted in early childhood education, leadership, and community involvement. She currently serves as the Director of Giant Step Preschool & Child Care and is involved with the Rangely Area Chamber of Commerce and her own small business. These experiences have given her a strong foundation in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and working with children, families, and community members. She is especially excited to welcome our preschool students and watch them grow in confidence, discover new things, build friendships, and develop a love for learning. One thing Kirstie hopes her students know is that she genuinely cares about them. She wants every child to know they are important, capable, and have someone in their corner cheering them on. Outside of school, Kirstie stays busy as a wife, mom of three, small-business owner, community volunteer, and coach. You’ll often find her supporting her kids, helping with community events, working on a project, coaching cheer, or spending time with friends and their families. And a fun fact about Kirstie? She has a hard time sitting still! There’s almost always a project, event, business idea, or activity happening—and usually more than one! Kirstie believes strongly in “Building Champions in Life”—not just academically, but by helping kids become confident, capable, and kind people. We’re excited to have Kirstie joining the Rangely School District team and look forward to all she will bring to our youngest Panthers! Welcome, Kirstie! We’re so glad you’re part of the Panther family! . #rangelyschooldistrict #RangelyPanthers #RangelyColorado

She also earned Bachelor’s Degrees in Special Education (K-12) and Elementary Education (K-6). She is most excited to step into a new role, work with multiple students, and celebrate their milestones and growth along the way. Outside of school, Heather enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren. Her family stays busy with sports, 4-H, FFA, SxS riding, hiking, camping, hunting, swimming, scrapbooking, and photography. A few fun facts about Heather: 📚 Favorite author: Roald Dahl — especially The BFG 🎬 Favorite movie: Hocus Pocus 🌮 Favorite food: Mexican food 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 She and her husband have five children and three granddaughters!

🏌️‍♂️ Rangely High School Golf The Panthers traveled to Basalt today to take on the immaculate River Valley Ranch Golf Course. The course proved to be very challenging and required precise ball placement on many holes. Our young Panther team performed well and had a great showing! We have a very young team this year, but there is a lot of promise for the season ahead. Our two returning golfers highlighted today: Bryson Elam — 10th place, +5 (77) Gage Prater — 29th place, +10 (82) The rest of the team battled through some challenging areas, gained valuable experience, and competed hard. We’re excited to see what this young team can accomplish this season! ⛳ Next up: Thursday in Delta at Devil’s Thumb Golf Course! Go Panthers! . #rangelyschooldistrict #RangelyPanthers #RangelyColorado

Last night, we wrapped up our 2025 Parkview Elementary Christmas music concerts with performances by our 4th- and 5th-grade students.

A big thank-you as well to our administration, teachers, tech staff, and all those working behind the scenes to ensure the concerts ran smoothly.
