Looking for that Conlee spririt next week!

December is a month filled with opportunities to express love, gratitude, kindness — and if you can, help others during a time of need. As the temperatures drop, many of our very own neighbors in the community struggle to stay warm during the winter season. That is why Las Cruces Public Schools is asking for your support to help spread kindness in community. From Dec. 8, through Jan. 8, LCPS will be collecting new or used blankets, coats, gloves, socks, or other warm clothing to help those who need it most. Please consider making a donation at any of our donation drop boxes located at 505 S. Main St., Suite 249 in Central Office, TLC, Operations, and the Health Services building.

Las Cruces Public Schools will host a Town Hall meeting for Spanish-speaking families to discuss the redistricting plan for LCPS. The Town Hall meeting will be held tonight, Dec. 5 at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex, at 5:30 p.m. The process of redistricting is outlined in Policy JCAA, which gives the Board of Education authority to alter geographic attendance zones based on the opening of new schools or shifts in population. For more information, please visit the district’s Redistricting Plan website: https://www.lcps.net/o/lcps/page/redistricting-lcps El distrito de las Escuelas Públicas de Las Cruces está organizando una reunión pública para familias de habla hispana para hablar sobre el plan de reestructuración distrital de LCPS. La reunión se llevará a cabo esta noche, 5 de diciembre, en el Complejo Administrativo Dra. Karen M. Trujillo, a las 5:30 p.m. El proceso de reestructuración distrital está detallado en la Política JCAA, que otorga a la Mesa Directiva de Educación la autoridad para modificar las zonas geográficas de asistencia escolar en función de la apertura de nuevas escuelas o cambios en la población.

Las Cruces Public Schools invites community members to provide valuable input on the ongoing redistricting process through a public survey. The survey will be open from November 21 through December 10, and the district encourages all LCPS families and staff to share their perspectives. The redistricting process addresses critical issues such as overcrowding in East Mesa schools, balancing enrollment at comprehensive high schools, and adjusting for demographic shifts across the district. The district is particularly focused on balancing school capacities, improving transportation, and planning for long-term growth, including the potential construction of new schools in growing areas like Redhawk and Peachtree.

El proceso de reestructuración distrital aborda temas críticos como el hacinamiento en las escuelas de East Mesa, el balance de las inscripciones en las escuelas preparatorias integrales y el ajuste para los cambios demográficos en todo el distrito. El distrito se está enfocando principalmente en balancear el cupo en las escuelas, mejorar el transporte y planificar el crecimiento a largo plazo, incluida la posible construcción de nuevas escuelas en áreas en crecimiento como Redhawk y Peachtree. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Haga clic aquí para obtener más información y a proporcionar su valiosa opinión sobre el proceso de reestructuración: https://www.lcps.net/article/1889436
