South Conejos School District

Today, our students are proudly representing our school at the SLV Regional Science Fair being held at Adams State University. Students are showcasing the results of weeks of research, experimentation, and problem-solving. We are proud of the dedication and hard work our students put into their projects!

There will be a Parent Meeting tonight at 6:00 PM in the Secondary Flex Area.

This meeting is for parents of students who have joined:
• Middle School Wrestling
• High School Track
• Middle School Track

We look forward to sharing important information about the upcoming season and answering any questions you may have. Thank you for your support. We hope to see you there!

The Antonito Youth Leadership Program recently made a generous kindness donation to support students in need. Through their efforts, they were able to provide brand-new coats, gloves, and beanies to help keep our students warm this season.

A very special shout out to Alyssa Abeyta, Jaylah Ruybal, Dylan Gray , and Madison Gray for their leadership and compassion in making this donation possible.

Thank you for your generosity and for making a positive difference in the lives of our students!

South Conejos School District has opened Trojan Threads, a school clothing closet designed to have various clothing items readily available when the need arises during the school day. We are looking for students and community members to donate new or gently used clothing for our students in grades K-12, ages 6-17. We are also looking for used boys and girls formal and casual wear for special events such as homecoming or prom. If you have items you no longer need or use, please consider helping us build our closet by dropping them items off at the school. If you have questions, please contact me at jomontoya@southconejos.com or Ms. Stephanie Kreps at stephanie@southconejos.com or call 719-376-7001.

In advance of the National Read Across America Day March 2, 2026, our Guadalupe Elementary Grades K-2 visited the Alamosa Public Library to encourage young students to develop a life-long love of reading and other resources libraries offer. Our kindergarteners, first and second graders enjoyed a library tour, an origami lesson activity, story time, and a scavenger hunt in the library. A perfect introduction to what a library can offer in terms of knowledge and resources for our youth. A big thank you to their teachers, Ms Deb Cruz (2nd), Elizabeth Samora (1st), and Ms. Brenda Alcocer-Archuleta (K) for coordinating and collaborating with the Alamosa Public Library Youth Services Librarian, Sage Parsons and William Krebs for this amazing experience!

On February 6th, we had the honor of celebrating our basketball families at Parent Recognition Night. 🏀Our athletes may be the ones on the court, but behind every rebound, assist, and basket is a family cheering them on from the stands. From practices to late-night games, your support, encouragement, and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.

We are incredibly grateful for the families who stand beside our athletes every step of the way. Thank you for the time, commitment, and love you pour into your students and our basketball team. We appreciate you more than words can express!

Celebrating our State Wrestling qualifiers with a pep rally and send-off! Good luck at State Trojans! Go represent with heart, grit, and pride! 💙💛

Our Celebration of Learning, Parent-Teacher Conferences, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Night was a tremendous success. It was wonderful to see our families, students, and staff come together to celebrate growth, connection, and learning.

A huge thank you to our counselors for their leadership in organizing the SEL portion of the evening. Their collaboration with community partners brought valuable resources directly to our families, and engaging SEL activities provided meaningful opportunities for connection. Their work continues to make a lasting impact on the well-being of our students and school community.

Thank you to the class of 2027 for serving delicious frito pie!

We also want to give a big shout-out to our facilities team and support staff for handling all the logistics, setup, take-down, and behind-the-scenes work to ensure our building was ready to welcome guests. Your dedication and attention to detail do not go unnoticed.

A special thank you to our kitchen staff for preparing the cookies and punch that made guests feel welcome, and to our board members for attending and showing continued support of our students, staff, and community.

And to our teachers, thank you for all the preparation, taking the time to meet with parents, share student progress, highlight achievements, and have those meaningful conversations about continued growth.

It was an evening that reflected collaboration, celebration, and connection at its best!
