Good evening, Trojan Families,
School will be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, October 27, 2026. We have assessed our bus routes and determined that all routes are safe to navigate.
We understand that some families in our community continue to be affected by the recent flooding. Student and staff safety remain our top priorities, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as our community continues to recover.
If flooding or road conditions are affecting your ability to get your child to school safely, please contact the district so we can work with you to determine how best to assist your family. Please do not take unnecessary risks when traveling.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
Have an excellent evening!


Good evening, Trojan Families,
Out of an abundance of caution, South Conejos School District will be closed tomorrow, Monday, October 26, 2026.
As our community navigates the effects of the recent flooding in Conejos County, I want to take a moment to recognize the families who have been impacted. We understand that situations like these can bring uncertainty, hardship, and unexpected challenges. Please know that our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.
As a school district, our responsibility extends beyond the classroom. We are a part of this community, and we want to do what we can to support our students and families during difficult times.
For everyone’s safety, please avoid flood-affected roads and bridges. This is especially important to protect the safety of community members and first responders as they respond to the situation.
Most importantly, please do not hesitate to reach out if you or your family need assistance. There is no need to feel uncomfortable asking for help. Every family deserves compassion, dignity, and support during challenging times.
If South Conejos School District can be of assistance, please contact us at 719-376-7001 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You may also reach me directly at 719-480-2835.

Guadalupe Elementary Red Ribbon Week. October 26-29, 2026









Dear Parents and Guardians,
As Colorado’s weather turns colder, please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the temperatures. Clothing that exposes large amounts of skin is no longer appropriate for our chilly outdoor activities.
Elementary students will continue to go outside for brain breaks and recess unless the temperature is below 21°F, including wind chill. Please send your child with long pants, a warm coat, a hat, gloves, and appropriate footwear so they can stay warm and comfortable outdoors.
The Trojan Closet is open all week during school hours and will also be available to parents during the Celebration of Learning.
If your child needs winter clothing or footwear, please feel free to email or call Ms. Montoya, Ms. Danisha, or Mrs. Kreps. We will do our best to help your family find warm winter gear.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep our Trojans warm and ready to learn!
Sincerely,
Guadalupe Elementary Staff
Home of the Trojans
