Barone Middle School

Meeker School District Phone Issues: Digium/Sangoma (VOIP provider) is currently experiencing upstream network issues which are affecting our phone system. We have received reports of people getting no line, getting into a main line menu and getting disconnected, and outgoing calls going nowhere. Our provider is working to resolve the problems, but has no current ETA on fixing the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

At 9:57 am a Barone Middle School fire alarm caused the evacuation of all students and staff. The cause of smoke was discovered before the fire department was dispatched to the middle school. There was no damage to the facility.

As we start school on Monday, the Meeker School District asks drivers to exercise caution so we can ensure walkers and bike riders remain safe. Walkers and bike riders should remain on designated sidewalks and pathways around our schools. Please see the attached image (sorry for the poor quality) which designates pathways across MHS' north parking lot for foot and bicycle traffic. The blue line indicates the pathway between the high school and elementary and the red line indicates the pathway from the middle school to the high school and/or elementary. Thank you for keeping our students safe!

Meeker School District has an App! Go to your App store and download the Meeker School District RE-1 app for notifications, live feed, documents, event schedules, staff directory, lunch menus and more. We are also in the process of updating our webpage. Please visit www.meeker.k12.co.us in the coming days to see the changes!

Water Street Bus Stop: Due to increased traffic on CO Hwy 13 due to I-70 closures in Glenwood Canyon, and the uncertainty of additional closures in the future, the Meeker School District is adding an in-town bus stop at the corner of 9th and Water Streets. This stop will only be for students who live south of Highway 13. Students must be approved by the Meeker School District to ride this bus. In-town families who live south of Highway 13, and have not been contacted by the school should call the Meeker School District Transportation Department at 970-878-9080.
