Parent/Guardian Registration Reminder

Parents and Guardians: We need your help!

If you have not yet completed all required registration forms and information in PowerSchool for your child, please do so as soon as possible.

This is more than a routine or optional form. This is part of the required enrollment process for New Mexico public schools and ensures that Mora Independent Schools has the accurate information we need to properly serve and account for every student. Our reporting processes to the state require complete information.

Please complete your child's registration by Wednesday, August 26.

Having trouble accessing PowerSchool or unsure what remains to be completed? We're here to help! Please contact school administrative assistants or stop by the school front office, and we will assist you in completing the process.

If you have already completed registration, thank you! No further action is needed.

We appreciate your help in making sure every student is fully registered.

A Message to Our Community During Difficult Times

Dear Mora School Community,

I'd like to send this note to acknowledge that this has been a difficult and painful time for our community.

When tragedy touches a small community like ours, its impact reaches far beyond the people directly involved. We know that many of our students, families, staff, and community members are hurting, grieving, worried, or simply trying to make sense of what has happened. Some may be struggling with emotions that are difficult to put into words.

As a school community, we want you to know that you do not have to carry those feelings alone.

Our School Counselors are available to support students and staff. Please avail yourselves of the opportunity to talk to someone.  If you know a student who might benefit from talking through things, please point them in the right direction.  Our Secondary Counselor is Amanda Nolan-Trujillo, she can be reached at 575-387-3124.  Her email address is mhscounselor@mora.k12.nm.us.  Our Elementary Counselor is Michelle Cruz.  Her phone number is 575-387-3132 and email address is mescounselor@mora.k12.nm.us.   Our School Social Worker is Jessica Lucero.  She is attending training off campus the next couple of days, but feel free to reach out to her upon her return.  She can be reached at 575-387-3190 or jlucero@mora.k12.nm.us

Our partners at the Mora Valley Community Health Services are also available to provide support to members of our extended community who may need someone to talk with.  Please visit their website at  www.mvchs.org.  

There is no right way to process something like this. Give yourself, and one another, a good measure of grace. Check on your neighbors. Listen to your children. Be patient with your colleagues. And remember that sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is simply be present for one another.

We are a close-knit community. We are connected by our schools, our families, our friendships, and our shared sense of home. In moments like this, that connection matters.

There is one thing I am certain of: we will take care of one another.

Our thoughts are with everyone who is hurting, and we will continue to support our students, staff, families, and community as we move through this difficult time together.
Sincerely,

Dr. Trujillo

Fidel J. Trujillo, Ph.D.

📚 Every Day Counts at Mora Schools! 💚🤍

As we get into the groove of a new school year, one of the greatest predictors of student success is simply being in school every day, on time, and ready to learn.
Missing just 10% of the school year, even for excused absences, can make it harder for students to stay on track academically and socially.

Families can help by:
✅ Establishing consistent bedtime and morning routines.
✅ Planning ahead for transportation and appointments.
✅ Communicating with the school if challenges arise.

If your child is sick, please keep them home and notify the school. If you're experiencing barriers to getting your child to school, please reach out. we're here to help. Our site Administrative Assistants are our Attendance Coordinators this year: Mrs. Lisa Pino at the Secondary School and Mrs. Angelica Vigil at the Elementary School.

Together, let's make excellent attendance one of the keys to a successful 2026-2027 school year!

Every Student. Every Day. Every Opportunity.

📚 Back-to-School Reminders for Parents, Guardians, and Families

As we begin another great school year, thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our arrival and dismissal procedures running smoothly.

✔ Complete Registration
If you have not already done so, please complete your student's registration forms in PowerSchool as soon as possible. Keeping student information current helps us ensure accurate records and effective communication throughout the school year.

🚗 Morning Drop-Off (Elementary)

Please pull all the way forward to the end of the gym portal before stopping to allow as many vehicles as possible to unload and help reduce traffic congestion. Whenever possible, please have your child exit on the passenger side of the vehicle to avoid walking around vehicles and blind spots.

🚸 Afternoon Pick-Up (Elementary)

Please meet your child at the green gate near the cafeteria, basketball court, and middle school building.
For student safety, we cannot allow students to walk unaccompanied past the buses and into the busy parking lot.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and partnership in helping us provide a safe and efficient start and end to each school day.
