  • Attention Parents:
    HSD2 will provide Otero Elementary students with FREE school supplies for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will only need to bring a backpack.

    The District will use Title I funds to purchase the school supplies for K-8 students to be provided in the classroom. We believe this will be a benefit to students, parents, and teachers by ensuring students have what they need.
