We’re excited to join schools across the state in celebrating New Mexico Statewide Be Here Day on Wednesday, April 8, 2026! Led by the New Mexico Public Education Department, this special day brings districts together with one powerful goal: 100% Attendance — Every Student, Every Day. Regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success, and Be Here Day is a fun, meaningful way to remind our students, families, and staff that every school day matters. Here’s how our schools may celebrate: Student and classroom attendance challenges Recognition and incentive events School-wide celebrations Family and community engagement activities Creative activities that inspire students to show up and succeed Families, we need your help! Make plans now to ensure your student is at school on April 8 and ready to be counted. Let’s come together to show that when it comes to learning, we show up.
