Replacement Letford School Naming Suggestions
March 4, 2021
The Weld RE-5J School Board is looking for suggestions to name the replacement PreK-5th grade Letford Elementary School, which is scheduled to be open the Fall of 2022. The current Letford Elementary School site will remain as Letford Park so the school board is wanting your suggestions for a new name! Please fill out the form to share your suggestion. You can submit multiple times different names but you do not need to submit the same name repeatedly since the board of education will only see the names filled out once. The board of education will review the suggestions at the end of April, 2021.
Design Advisory Group Doing Innovative Work

The Design Group for Letford is working hard to both inform the design of a school the community can be proud of while really pushing the thinking about the innovative teaching and learning opportunities the school will support. The team has been open to embracing change and challenges to get the best design for our community.
Board of Education president Wailes is proud of how our educators are involved and stated, "They are giving the architects a lot to think about."
Sampson Construction Unanimously Selected As General Construction Contractor
