Meeker and Rangely schools back in session during the next week

RBC I The summer fun and frolic ends next week for students in Rangely and Meeker as the 2014-15 school year begins.

The first public school in the county to open will be Rangely Junior/Senior High School, which opens its doors at 7:45 a.m. on Monday. The other school in Rangely, Parkview Elementary School, begins classes at 8 a.m. on Wednesday with classes wrapping up at 3:30 p.m.
All Meeker schools open their doors on Wednesday although the hours vary from school to school.
Meeker High School class hours will be 7:50 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. Monday through Thursday as the Meeker School District has adopted a four-day school week this year for all schools in its district.
Hours for Barone Middle School run from 7:55 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., the same as for Meeker Elementary School, with the exception of kindergarten classes.
For morning kindergarten classes at MES, class hours will be 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.; for afternoon kindergarten, class hours will be 12:25 to 3:40 p.m.
In Meeker, if a student has not yet registered, they can do so from now through Tuesday during the hours of 8 a.m. to noon or from 1 to 3 p.m. Students are urged to register before Wednesday, the day classes will begin.
To register, all new students must bring their birth certificate and immunization records.
If there are any questions, please call the school where the child will be registering.
Caution is also being urged in Rangely and Meeker as young pedestrians and bicycle riders may be entering traffic.
