This week in Trojan Athletics...

Antonito High School competed in the San Luis Valley National History Day Contest on February 7, 2026, hosted by Adams State University. Dylan Gray and Octavian Martinez placed 3rd for their group exhibit titled, "The Great Depression". They will advance to the 2026 National History Day in Colorado contest on April 25 at the University of Colorado Denver on the Auraria Campus. We congratulate all our students who competed. We had 32 contestants with 18 exhibits.

We were excited to welcome Sam Demma to our school for an engaging and inspiring presentation for our students and staff. Sam Demma is an internationally recognized youth speaker and author who works with schools to empower students to believe in themselves and their potential.

Through personal stories and meaningful connections, Sam delivered a powerful and uplifting message about resilience, kindness, and the impact our choices have on ourselves and others. His authentic approach resonated with the students and left us with reminders about the importance of showing up, supporting one another, and striving to be our best.

We are grateful for Sam's visit and the positive energy and encouragement he shared with our school community.

Dear Guadalupe Elementary Families,
After careful observation and consideration regarding the use of personal devices during breakfast, lunch and brain break time, I have decided to implement a "no cell phone use" policy for our elementary students in the cafeteria during breakfast and lunch and playgrounds along with the classroom policy. Students will be required to keep any devices they bring to school in a backpack or in their cubby between 7:30am and 4:00pm. They may use their devices upon dismissal from school. Violations will result in confiscation and notifications for parents/guardians to come pick it up from the school. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me directly at jomontoya@southconejos.com or 719-376-7022.

Public Notice: One or more members of the South Conejos Board of Education will be attending the Sam Demma Presentation on February 5, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. The purpose of this event is for board members to attend this presentation that is open to our community. It is not to conduct public business of the local district or engage in formal action. While notice is not required pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6-402, the Board believes in transparency and, therefore, is providing this information regarding the event.

Working together, parents and teachers create strong readers! If you are worried about your child’s reading progress, talk to their teacher. Early action can help kids from falling behind. #ReadLearnLead

Cuando los padres, madres, guardianes y maestros/as trabajan junto a la comunidad, ¡se forman buenos lectores! Si estás preocupado porque tu hijo/a no progresa con la lectura, habla con su maestro/a. Actuar a tiempo puede ayudar a que los niño/as no se queden atrás. #LeeAprendeAvanza

During School Counseling Recognition Week, we proudly recognize and celebrate our outstanding school counseling team and our in-house therapist for their dedication to supporting the whole child. Each day, they work tirelessly to promote students' academic success, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being.

Our counselors and therapist provide a safe, welcoming environment where students feel heard, supported, and empowered. Through individual counseling, group support, and collaboration with families, teachers, and staff, they help students navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

We are grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to our students. During School Counseling Recognition Week and every week, we thank them for the vital role they play in creating a caring, supportive, and successful school community.

Thank you, Zyra Guyon, Danisha Martinez, and Michelle Chavez!

Dear Guadalupe Elementary Families, 

Last Fall we notified you that Guadalupe Elementary was entering the fourth year of the accountability clock and steps would be taken with the Colorado Department of Education and state partners to help us with improving student outcomes. On March 2-3, we will have a State Review Panel (SRP) visiting our school as part of those steps for improvement. During the SRP visit, they will conduct focus groups with teachers, support staff, students and families. 

We would like to invite four to eight of our elementary families to join us on March 3, 2026, 10:00 am - 10:30 am for a Family Focus Group.whose children have a range of academic needs, have attended the school for various lengths of time and who have a range of participation experiences with the school. This is in addition to the State Review Panel Parent and Family Survey that will also be administered later.  

If you are interested and want to attend, please RSVP to my email, jomontoya@southconejos.com.
Once we have 8 families, I will make an announcement and send out more information as the day approaches. 
We appreciate your willingness to let your voice be heard.
