2025-2026 School Registration Information

Huerfano Re-1 Schools, Peakview and Walsenburg Jr. Sr. High School will be hosting registration on July 30th and July 31st 8AM - 12PM and 1PM - 3PM both days.

You can get started on registration beginning July 28, 2025 by logging into your PowerSchool Parent/Guardian account and completing the necessary forms for each of your students.

Returning Student Enrollment:

Parents/Guardians can register students who finished the 24-25 school year or who are pre-registered in Huerfano School District Re-1 by logging into their PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Our electronic enrollment process will be made available on July 28, 2025.

Since WJSHS used electronic enrollment last year for most students, their parents/guardians need to complete a fewer number of forms, and should be quicker than Peakview students.

WJSHS Students, your class schedules will be available to review within your student or parent/guardian account.

Communication regarding HEA and district negotiations

The Huerfano Education Association (Union) met with the School District administration team and agreed upon a beginning salary of $41,000 per year as a base. Upon board approval, all employees will receive a base increase of 5%, plus recognition of service.

HEA and the district collaborated and negotiated a new article that covers Special Education Instruction. This article will cover all aspects of Special Education including the hire of an additional Special Education Teacher. The Special Education teachers will be receiving an additional stipend to fulfil the added responsibilities of a hard to fill position.

The HEA and the district will form a committee to explore the inclusion of support staff into the negotiated agreement, pending ratification of board approval.

The Board Meeting Scheduled for April 21, 2025 has been rescheduled for Monday April 28, 2025.
