End of Year Balances

The end of the school year is fast approaching! Please go on to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal or come in person to our Main campus to pay your balance through the month of April.  Students cannot carry balances from one year to the next so please log in to your parent portal as soon as possible to view fees and begin paying down the balance so that your child's student account will be in good standing by the end of the year. 

 

 

Please reach out right away if you have questions or need help logging in to your parent portal. Contact Ms. Claudia, cinfante@tmesnm.com

Reminders from the Health Office

Incoming kindergarteners and current 6th grade students will need additional vaccinations to enter the 24/25 school year. Check with your pediatrician or the NM Vaxview Website to make sure your child is up to date. PLEASE make sure that proof of vaccination is reported before the first day of school.

Talk with your child’s healthcare provider to find out which vaccines they need. To keep track of your child’s vaccination history, you can request a copy of their vaccination record from their healthcare provider. You may also check the NM Vaxview Website which gives you online access to your own and your family’s vaccine records.

Pharmacies are another location to get vaccinations. Ask your local pharmacy about what vaccinations they offer, what ages of children they vaccinate, and the costs they charge. Pharmacies typically accept most health insurances.

The Department of Health also provides vaccinations. These vaccinations can be at a reduced cost or even free. Visit the DOH website https://www.nmhealth.org/about/phd/idb/imp/ 

* If you do not plan on vaccinating your student, we will need a notarized and approved exemption form before the first day of school. This process can take up to 60 days. Exemption Form

All medications that have been stored in the health office during the school year must be picked up by 3 o'clock on May 31st, by a parent. Medications that are not picked up by a parent, will be destroyed. There are no exceptions, we can not store meds over the summer.
