Santa Fe Public Schools to Return to Remote Learning Starting November 20th

Santa Fe Public Schools (SFPS) has announced that all schools will return to a full-remote learning model starting November 20th, 2020.

“I am announcing today a hiatus of our volunteer hybrid program due to the rampant rise in COVID-19 cases in Santa Fe County and New Mexico and SFPS’ philosophy to always prioritize the safety and well being of our students and staff,” said Superintendent Dr. Veronica C. Garcia.

“November 20th will be the last day of our volunteer hybrid program for this semester.  This notice will allow parents to make arrangements for their children to be at home and learn remotely.  If parents are able to keep their children home next week, I urge them to do so,” she said.

The district will decide no later than January 8th as to when and under what format students will return to school, unless new guidance is received sooner from the New Mexico Public Education Department.

This document provides parents, teachers, staff and community information and resources addressing the 2020-2021 school year (full remote, hybrid, face-to-face).
