Resources FOR NATIVE PARENTS
"Yá'át'ééh" (Navajo Hello) and “Maiku” (Ute Hello) As part of our commitment to every student, every day, the Montezuma-Cortez School District RE-1 is committed to ensuring that school-age Native American Nations and their children have equal access to all programs, services, and activities offered within the district.
Our Commitment
District personnel consult with tribal officials and parents of Native American children in the planning of policies and procedures, Title VI-funded programming, and other educational programming and activities.
No later than December of each year, the district reports on the services provided to Native American children and reviews and revises relevant policies.
Parents and families of Native American Nations and their children are encouraged to provide input to the district and schools about how the district can meet the needs of their children. Opportunities for input include:
- Monthly school board meetings, on the second Tuesday of every month, beginning at 7 p.m.
- Annual Native American Policies and Procedures (IPP) meetings every October
- Parent Accountability Committee (PAC meetings for parents of Native American children
- The district’s annual survey for parents of Native American children
- Contacting the Assistant Superintendent
-
Contacting the K-12 Native American District Coordinator and Liaison
