Today’s students need a repertoire of knowledge and skills that are more diverse, complex, and integrated than any previous generation. Reading, Writing, and Communicating are inherently demonstrated in each of Colorado’s 21st century skills, as follows:

So Long, for Now

Here is a list, in no particular order, of all the things I don’t like about journalism:

A Reflection as School Winds Down

I got a call last night from my friend freshman Oliver Colaw. At the time I was eating a bowl of leftovers while watching some highlights of Jimmy Butler laying waste to the Celtics’ hopes of getting to the finals. I answer the call: “Hey.”

Elementary and High School Reading Buddies

Over three Thursdays in April and May, high school students read books with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders for a half hour per session. I was paired up with Calvin, a 3rd-grader whose book of choice was Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I learned a lot about Calvin, who likes to read and has an older brother.

May Mayhem

Every high schooler was in agreement that it had been a long week. But it turns out that this kind of week provides unexpected delights. What I’m saying is that on Thursday, May 11, there was a snowball fight through the high school hallways.

Summer Plans Take Shape

As the Ouray School calendar winds down, students have their summer plans foremost in mind. Traveling, working, sports, and hanging out are the sought-after activities that students are looking forward to.

Superintendent's Message

Welcome to our school! I am so pleased to welcome our new students as well as our returning students. We have made many recent improvements to our campus and we continue to expand our extra-curricular programs to ensure that all students may make the most of their time and explore a broad variety of interests. We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop, so you can find information on the go. As always, I am happy to receive feedback and suggestions and my door is always open. Here’s to another great year!
