The New Mexico Public Education Department has just announced that schools are able to open for all students who wish to attend school. Remote options will still be available for families who do not want to send their students. After spring break, we will meet to plan our full reentry, there is still a large amount of planning that is necessary for a full reentry. In the meantime, we will continue with our original hybrid opening until we solidify our full opening plans. If your student is in school under the hybrid model, continue to do so, if your student was attending remotely, continue to do so. We will announce the full opening as soon as we have a solid date.
