Every morning, our amazing 6th grade Ambassadors lend a helping hand (and a lot of smiles!) to our kindergarten students as they make their way to class. 💙💚 From walking together to giving encouragement, our oldest students are showing what it means to be leaders and role models.
It’s the sweetest way to start the day, kindness in action! 🥰✨

Our first Walk and Roll event of the year was a great success! Thank you to all the students and parents/guardians who joined us. A special thanks to Mrs. Jones and Coach Chavez for running our Walk and Roll program in partnership with Safe Routes to School! This year, we have punch cards for every time you join us for Walk and Roll, you also get a bike or croc charm! We hope to see you next Wednesday!

Join us for Walk & Roll Wednesday!
Every Wednesday, weather permitting, we meet at 7:30 AM at the Rancho Viejo North Park Plaza under the shade structure to walk or roll to school together.

Not only is it a great way to get your wiggles out and arrive energized, walking or rolling to school builds healthy habits that strengthen bodies and minds. It helps students arrive ready to learn, sharp and alert. Plus, by reducing car traffic around our school, we enjoy cleaner air, a quieter neighborhood, and a stronger sense of community.

👉 Parents, please check in your child with Mrs. Jones or Coach Chavez at drop-off and let them know if your child will be:

Walking/rolling back to the park after school OR

Getting picked up at school

🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Parents are welcome (and encouraged!) to walk or ride with us too, let’s make it a family and community event!

Let’s roll together for fun, fitness, focus, and friendship!
Reminder: If it’s got wheels, you need a helmet!

Athletes 50 years and above can qualify to go to Nationals at the New Mexico Senior Olympics, which are held every year in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Athletes can compete in different events such as running, pickleball, and corn hole to name a few. Mrs. Vigil competed in 5 running events: 10k road race, 5k road race, 1500 meter run on the track, an 800 meter dash also on the track, and a 1 mile community run.

As a precautionary measure following PNM's notice of a potential power shutdown on Thursday, March 6 (due to high winds), Santa Fe Public Schools will implement the District’s inclement weather procedures and shift to a remote learning and work day. This will allow us to ensure the health and safety of all. Additionally, we must comply with state-required instructional hours and avoid extending the school year beyond the scheduled final day of school. Please ensure that students are prepared for remote learning tomorrow, and stay safe. For more information, see: https://5il.co/39nqg -- Como medida de precaución luego del aviso de PNM sobre un posible corte de energía el jueves 6 de marzo (debido a fuertes vientos), las Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe implementarán los procedimientos del Distrito para las inclemencias del tiempo y cambiarán a un día de trabajo y aprendizaje remoto.
