Grumley will continue as Superintendent through June 30, 2025.
Two local Rifle Middle School students, Mia Alvarez and Dylan Quintana, spent their summer break in a unique way—by diving into the rich world of mariachi music at the Aspen Music Festival and School Mariachi Workshop. The workshop opened the door to a vibrant musical tradition, combining their love for music with a deeper connection to their cultural roots.
For Mia, mariachi music is personal.
Garfield Re-2 has made a transformative expansion in its early childhood education offerings, marking a significant milestone for local families. As the demand for quality preschool education continues to rise, Garfield Re-2 School District is providing more opportunities for its youngest learners.
With a strong belief that "an early start is a strong start," Emily Kielmeyer, Garfield Re-2’s Early Childhood Coordinator, emphasized the importance of providing every child with access to preschool.
I am honored to write this week’s Board update. Since being seated on the Garfield Re-2 School Board just a few weeks ago, I have learned one thing for certain—I have a lot to learn. My Boardmates have been helpful and supportive, and I am grateful for their warm welcome.
In this meeting we learned about Coal Ridge High School data, Family and Community Partnerships, Academic Achievement data, two way communication platform, policies about vandalism and tobacco, drug and alcohol use and heard great public comment.
On Wednesday, September 11, we convened at the newly renovated Wamsley Elementary, showcasing significant improvements by FCI & JCI, including two new modular buildings for SSN and Preschool, a new roof, new floors, and more.
Wamsley Elementary showed us they continue to excel in all they are doing! Kathi Señor and Betsy Rice spotlighted literacy and math scores while serving a wide demographic of children.
We proudly celebrate Wamsley as one of the highest-achieving schools in Re-2 and noted by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) as a Performance School for the second consecutive year.
