Students are continually recognized by all staff members for demonstrating their 3R’s of “Being Respectful, Being Responsible, and Being Ready!”  We have an extremely dedicated staff which regularly collaborates to share best instructional practices and determine interventions for students’ growth at all levels of need. We are committed to providing ALL students a solid academic foundation affording children the skills to be successful as critical thinkers and collaborative partners.  Mancos Elementary Staff values developing positive relationships with students, families, and the community.  We are proud to work together in our dedication to Mancos Kindergarten –Fifth Graders. The staff looks forward to welcoming familiar faces of families that have walked through our doors for generations, as well as those that have recently become Little Jays.
