Acequia Madre fourth grader London Kiffin won 3rd place in her division at the School Arts Exhibition of the New Mexico State Fair. Selected from thousands of student artworks, London's piece is a collagraph on homemade paper, crafted with the guidance of her Art teacher, Ms. Katy Hees.
During the awards ceremony at the State Fair, London was congratulated by Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales and other state leaders in Arts Education. Congratulations London!
We are proud to celebrate our arts programs during New Mexico's "Year of the Arts in Education!"

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.

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. Esto nos permitirá garantizar la salud y la seguridad de todos.
Además, debemos cumplir con las horas de instrucción requeridas por el estado y evitar extender el año escolar más allá del último día de clases programado.
Asegúrese de que los estudiantes estén preparados para el aprendizaje remoto mañana y manténgase a salvo.
