2019-2020 District Boundary Changes
The Weld RE-4 School District is examining school boundaries district wide in an effort to fix imbalances in elementary and middle school populations due to enrollment growth concentrated in certain areas of our district, as well as to create a boundary for the new Severance High School (opening Fall 2019).
Please mark your calendar for the following 2018 public meetings:
Tuesday, October 23rd at 7:00 pm, at Severance Middle School
Thursday, October 25th at 7:00 pm, at Grandview Elementary School
Monday, October 29th at 5:30 pm, at Windsor High School
The Weld RE-4 Board of Education is tentatively scheduled to vote on boundary changes in December 2018. Families will receive new boundary information in January 2019. Check the district website for updates.
