Good afternoon Centennial Rams,
The Mesita bus route will be delayed 20 minutes this afternoon.

Thank you!

Hi 4th and 5th Grade Families,

Due to the high chances of snow along the I-25 corridor and even higher levels of accumulation predicted for areas like La Veta Pass over the next 48 hours, we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s field trip.

While we know this is disappointing, travel conditions through higher elevations may become unsafe, and student safety is our top priority. We are working to reschedule and will share a new date as soon as it is confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate unpredictable spring weather. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Good Afternoon Centennial Rams,
The Mesita bus route will be delayed this afternoon approximately 20 minutes, We apologize for the inconvenience
