Heart-to-Hart
I visited the community and got your input! I asked the community what they want to keep from Alpine School District, what they would like to change, and what their wishes are for the Aspen Peaks School District. The ideas shared below are from community members in our area. They do represent possible ideas to be implemented, but are not guaranteed.
-

Better student-to-teacher ratios
