The Durango School District is hosting a Student Narcan training for Durango High School and Big Picture High School students on Wednesday, May 17, at 4:00 p.m., in the Administration Building Board Room. High school students who are currently enrolled in Durango Schools will be trained on opioids, their impact, and learn how to use the opioid antagonist, Narcan, in a life saving emergency.

Due to the number of Snow Day school closures this winter, Durango School District 9-R has announced a plan to make up school days in the remainder of the 2022/23 school year.

We know you’re thinking of all the things you need to do to make sure your student is ready for school. Getting vaccinated is an important part of their school readiness and keeps children from catching and spreading diseases that can make them sick and potentially disrupt in-person learning.
