As each day on the calendar falls away during summer, that can mean only one thing for Archuleta School District (ASD) students: School will be in session very shortly.
Because of that, each school has released its school supply lists for students.
The first day of the 2019-2020 school year for all ASD students is Sept. 3 and, once again, the Archuleta County Department of Human Services (DHS) is providing school supplies for those in need.
These school supplies were purchased using Temporary Assistance for Needy Families grant funds and supplies are also available for Pagosa Peak Open School students, according to an email from DHS Director Matt Dodson.
Supplies will be distributed by each individual school to make it more convenient for families and students, Dodson explained.
