Throughout the entire course of the fall semester, the Garfield-16 school district has yet to switch any of its four schools in western Garfield County fully to online learning.
“We did a really good job cohorting our students,” said district superintendent Brad Ray. “So, any positive tests or symptoms that impact a cohort, we’ve been able to minimize everything to the best of our abilities at this point in time.”
Out of the district’s 1,100 students, Ray said they’ve only had to quarantine one classroom at Grand Valley Middle School in Battlement Mesa. In comparison, Roaring Fork School District Re-1 has 5,637 students; Garfield County Re-2, 4,700.
Crystal River Elementary School Principal Matthew Koenigsknecht has announced that he will be stepping down as principal at the end of the school year.
“I have decided that the 20-21 school year will be my last year in this role,” Koenigsknecht wrote in a letter to CRES families last week.
“This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever made; I will miss working with all of you dearly. Being the principal at CRES and working with the incredible staff, students and families here has been the greatest honor of my professional life.”
Koenigsknecht was hired as the CRES principal at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year.
