Colorado crop progress and condtion report from the USDA for the week ending August 9, 2020.

Colorado's Pine Gulch Fire in Mesa and Garfield counties has become the fifth-largest fire in the state's history.

The first day of school today was a huge success and I would like to thank the staff, parents, students, and community for their cooperation and support. 

Our reopening plan worked very well.  The staff met after school today to discuss the things that needed to be improved and the many things that went well.  

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns  

Thank you 

Glenn Smith
Superintendent/Elementary Principal
Kiowa County School District Re-1
