Due to a downed power line in Rio de la Casa, parents of students who live in that area will need to pick up their child after school. Bus 20 will not transport this afternoon to Rio de la Casa only. All other riders of this bus will arrive home at normal time.
Please be advised that due to weather forecasts predicting significant amounts of snow on Thursday, December 14, the Holman Elementary parent involvement night for grades K-2 will be postponed until December 19, 2023. The time (5:00-6:30 pm) and place (Holman Elementary) will remain the same. Stay safe and warm!
Parents,
We, the MISD administration, would be remiss if we did not remind you that photos, videos, and comments made online for the most part can't be taken back after they're sent or posted. Even when we think something has been deleted, it can be impossible to completely erase it from the Internet. A prank on social media can yield serious consequences that can lead to legal issues.
Posting an inappropriate photo can damage a reputation and cause problems years later — such as when a potential employer or college admissions officer does a background check.
We ask that you caution your child to think before posting anything on social media.
Respectfully,
Ms. Cavazos

Dear Parents,
With the coronavirus (COVID-19) and other highly contagious seasonal sicknesses increasing in the Mora community, we would like everyone to know about the steps we are taking in our schools.
Please be assured that our top priority is to maintain a safe environment for our children and staff. Mora ISD is following the guidance of the New Mexico Department of Health which is 5 days out / 5 days wearing a mask upon returning to school. We will certainly adjust protocols as necessary.
Our custodians are using disinfectant foggers early in the mornings before staff and students arrive. They have also increased our daily disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, handrails, restroom faucets, tables and commonly handled areas.
Every classroom is equipped with hand sanitizers, Lysol and disinfectant surface wipes. We are asking parents, to keep any children not feeling well home for their safety and the safety of others. We will call you to pick up your child should it seem they appear to have a cold or temperature.
Together we can keep Mora ISD a healthy and safe environment.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter
Respectfully,
Norma Cavazos
Superintendent
