PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — Pueblo School District 60 is hosting a school showcase event Saturday at Pueblo Community College, giving students and families the chance to explore their school options for next year.
All preschools, elementary, middle and high schools across the district will be represented at the event, providing families with resources and information about the programs each school offers.
Kim Cura, the executive director of elementary education in District 60, said the event is designed to make the school selection process easier for families.
"As a parent myself, attending something where I have an elementary and a middle school student. I don't have to arrange my schedule to attend multiple events. This really is for our families to have a one-stop shop," Cura said.
Cura said the goal is to put the power of education in students' hands.
"To have choice really helps families," Cura said. "And hopefully get our students to be empowered with good quality education," Cura said.
She said the event is also an opportunity for parents to connect directly with school representatives.
"To give parents a look at and a person to talk to in regards to choosing a school that they may want their student to attend for next year," Cura said.
The showcase kicks off the start of D60's school choice D60's school choice period. It begins at 10 a.m. this Saturday at Pueblo Community College.
