Out of an abundance of caution due to possible icy conditions in some parts of the district, all schools will be on a 2-hour delay today, January 4th, 2023, to provide additional time for buses to safely transport students to schools. This means that buses will run 2 hours later than during normal times. If you drop your child off at school, please remember that staff will also be on a two-hour delay. Full day Pre-K programs are also on a two hour delay. Morning Pre-K programs have been canceled. Afternoon Pre-K programs will operate on a regular schedule.
Del Norte Credit Union and Santa Fe Home Builders Association are having the Lego Creations Contest again this March 11 & 12, 2023 at the SF Convention Center or online by Feb. 26, 2023! Please see the flyer below for information on the competition and prizes!

Santa Fe Public Schools has begun the process of adopting instructional materials in the content area of social studies for the 2023-2024 school year. Committees are being formed with representatives from stakeholders throughout the City of Santa Fe. SFPS teachers, administrators, parents and community members will meet regularly to review social studies materials and make recommendations for adoption. The materials will be purchased as part of the State’s six-year adoption cycle established by the
New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED).
Of paramount interest to SFPS is the well-being of our students. We are excited to have the opportunity to provide our students and teachers with materials that align with the New Mexico Social Studies Standards.
Should you have questions regarding instructional materials, please contact the District Instructional Materials Coordinator, Ms. Erica Wheeler, at ewheeler@sfps.k12.nm.us.
