Montrose County School District RE-1J

Montrose County School District RE-1J Personal attacks, misinformation, etc. will be blocked and/or deleted. Since that time there have been several new initiatives that the district has implemented.

Terms of Use: the purpose of this site is to keep our school community informed on important happenings across Montrose County Schools with honesty, transparency, and civility. MCSD was initially founded in 1883 and consolidated with other smaller district in 1962 to become what is currently known as MCSD. The purpose of the school district was to provide public education to students at minimum 6-17 years of age. While some of these initiatives have been mandated by state and/or federal governments all initiatives are put into practice for the betterment of our students and future generations. MCSD currently provide services beyond the scope of just education in the four core areas (Reading, Writing, Math & Science). These additional services include, but are not limited to, behavioral and emotional health, physical health, extra curricular clubs and activities, student safety, and preparing students for post-secondary education or the workforce. MCSD currently serves any student three years of age to adulthood through our continuum of services from early childhood to adult education.

This morning, students and staff at Olathe Middle/High School came together to observe Patriot Day, lowering the American flag to half-staff in remembrance of September 11, 2001.

Thank you to music teacher Toby Buss for sounding taps during the observance.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who met tragedy with extraordinary courage and selflessness.

We will never forget.

A great night for a longtime Pomona tradition! 🌭🍧

Last night, Pomona Elementary School’s annual Community BBQ brought students, families, teachers, staff, and neighbors together for food, fun, and time to catch up.

There were hot dogs, shaved ice, and plenty of sweet treats from Pomona’s 5th graders, who hosted a bake sale to help support their upcoming field trips.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and made it such a fun night!💙

We were honored to host school board members and education leaders from across the region for the Colorado Association of School Boards Regional Meeting last night! 🎉

These meetings bring district leaders together to share ideas, learn from one another, and take promising practices back to their own communities.

The MCSD team also had the chance to showcase the work happening in our schools, including our Career Pathways and Mastery Learning programs and share a progress update on our preschool BEST grant project.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share our district’s story and learn alongside education leaders from across our region and beyond.

Thank you to CASB, Representative Suckla, Performance Services, and everyone who joined us!
