Eagle’s Nest: School is back in session! 

Thursday - August 24, 2023 by Staff report | The Southern Ute Drum

School is back in session and our first week went well! 

With our students being as young as seven months old, we’ve had some tears but mostly the school has been filled with laughter and good energy.  The staff and students were greeted by the apples, apricots, and grapes that are growing profusely around the school.  

One of our activities coming up is the projects that will be submitted to the fair.  We will also be working on the Education Department float.  

Reminder 

SUIMA’s Parent/Student Handbook can be found at www.suima.org. 

If you haven’t turned your students’ medical packet in, you have until Friday, Sept. 29.   

School Board information  

We currently have a full school board with new members that will soon be voted into the vacant offices.  Thank you to everyone who submitted a letter of intent. Meeting dates will be in the next Drum.
