Spring Break 3/25/24-4/1/24

Spring break is from March 25, 2024- April 1, 2024! Students will return from spring break on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. There is no school and no before/after care during spring break. 

Water Bottles

It’s getting hotter and our students need water throughout the day. Please send in a water bottle with your child every day! 

Drop Off Reminder

We want to remind you of 2 things regarding drop off- 

1. Our traffic is one way in the mornings for both Elementary and Middle School. Please follow the traffic pattern and do not turn around and go the opposite direction. This is unsafe for our students and causes traffic congestion. 

2. If your child is dropped off late, you must come into the office and sign them in. 

   1. School starts at 8:40 am for Mid School and 8:45 am for K-5.

   2. In accordance with Section III.5 of our handbook:

      1. TARDY PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES, we encourage parents to ensure that their children arrive at school at least five minutes prior to the beginning of classes. This allows students to put away their belongings, socialize, and be prepared for the day ahead. If a child is late, we kindly request that the parent escort the child to the office to sign in. Subsequently, the student will be accompanied or sent to class by school personnel.

Pick Up Reminder

If your student is going home with a friend you must contact Ms. Brenda (bjohnson@tmesnm.com) and the homeroom teacher. In the email, include your student’s first and last name and the first and last name of the student they are authorized to go home with. We cannot release students to unauthorized individuals. 

You can find your child’s teacher’s email in your Infinite Campus app or through the parent portal.

• Through the online parent portal:  log into your parent portal through a computer => from the main screen click on “contact list”
