We would like to hear from parents about your child's experience with the Colorado READ ACT and its observed impact.
 
As you may know, the Colorado READ (Reading to Ensure Academic Development) Act provides funding and a framework for improving literacy outcomes for kindergartners through third graders, particularly those with “Significant Reading Deficiencies” (SRDs) who are at risk to not read at grade level by third grade.

Durango's strategic plan includes a makerspace, travel opportunities, expanded extracurriculars, career exploration, internships and more.
