Welcome to the website of the Montezuma-Cortez School District RE-1, located in a truly unique area of southwest Colorado, the Four Corners area. Our district includes the Mesa Verde National Park, Ute Mountain and to the west, the Navajo Nation. We are fortunate to have the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe as part of the greater community served by our schools, and the Navajo Nation borders our western school district boundaries. RE-1 is located on the lands that were once occupied by the Ancestral Puebloans, and Cortez is generally recognized as an archaeological center of the United States. There are over 25,000 documented artifact sites in Montezuma County. On a clear or cloudy day, one can easily see into Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. We are located where the desert meets the mountains, a community rooted in family, tribe, and tradition. |
H1N1 Flu Information *HEALTH ALERT UPDATE* October 21, 2009. There are several students with flu-like illness at this time. Healthy siblings of students with flu are welcome at school. Please do not go the emergency room for a doctor's note if your student has been home with flu symptoms. After fever is gone, cough sometimes continues for quite a while. Remind you student to 'cover his/her cough' by coughing into their upper arm to reduce 'sharing' their germs with fellow students. The school district still plans to offer H1N1 flu vaccinations when they become available. Information will be sent home with your student. If you have general flu vaccination questions, other than school clinics, please contact the Montezuma County Health Department, 565-3056. There is no plan to close schools at this time, although that option continues to be a consideration. Information regarding school closure would be available from the same sources as would a snow day announcement.
