Drop everything and read at Rifle Middle School
When the Rifle Middle School administration learned through testing data that reading was a challenge for some of its students, a strategic effort was launched school-wide to change that. One aspect of this varied and evolving approach is called DEAR, or Drop Everything And Read.

Notice of Virtual School Board Meetings
The Garfield Re-2 Board of Education will conduct a Regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. on October 27, 2021.
Public Participation
The public may comment on non-agenda topics during the public comment agenda item. Public comment for discussion items on the agenda will be allowed both in person and via Zoom or email following discussion of that agenda topic.
To respect the time of all who are present, speakers must limit their remarks to three minutes or less. Emailed comments are limited to 350 words. The total time for public comment is limited to 30 minutes. These boundaries are designed to help keep the meeting focused and in no way should limit conversations beyond the board meeting.
Public comment operates on a first-come-first-serve basis. Preference will be
given to those who sign up at least an hour in advance of meetings (5:30 p.m. on October 27)
Speakers will be added to a list in the order that they signed up until the 30 minutes allotted is filled. If there is time remaining, those that did not sign up in advance will have the opportunity to speak. After the allotted time has been filled, additional speakers may email or text Board members their comments.
We ask that all audience members and public commenter’s please do not bring signs, flags or posters into the meeting. You may display them outside, or in the hallway, but do not bring them into the meeting.
Please know that while the Board greatly values all comments from the public, members will not respond to public comments. However, they will follow up as needed after the meeting. Please be aware that any personal or individual student matters are considered confidential under Colorado Law. It is out of respect for the law, students and staff that we ask for those discussions to take place in an executive session.
