Update on Our Water Donation Drive

Thank you so much to everyone who was ready to come together and support our first responders, workers, and families affected by the Frijoles Fire. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to help our community means so much to us. ❤️

We have received word that additional water supplies are not needed at this time. Because of this, we will not be accepting water donations today, Thursday, August 20th.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who shared our message, planned to donate, and helped spread the word. It is a beautiful reminder of how caring and generous our community is when our neighbors need us.

Thank you for understanding and, most of all, thank you for your kindness and support. ❤️🙏

🌫️ Air Quality Update

Santa Fe’s current Air Quality Index (AQI) is in the yellow/moderate range due to wildfire smoke. People who are sensitive to air pollution may be at risk for symptoms, and children can be particularly vulnerable to wildfire smoke and ash.

Children with asthma, allergies, respiratory conditions, or other chronic health conditions may be more affected. Symptoms from wildfire smoke exposure can include:

• Coughing or wheezing
• Trouble breathing
• Chest pain or tightness
• Burning or irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat
• Dizziness

💙 What families should know:
SFPS will honor parent/guardian requests to keep students indoors due to health concerns. Parents/guardians of students with respiratory conditions should communicate any specific needs or requests to their child’s school nurse and/or principal.

If the AQI progresses to the orange/unhealthy-for-sensitive-groups range, SFPS will evaluate conditions and determine whether indoor recess will be required and athletic practices relocated indoors.

We will continue to closely monitor air quality and provide updates as conditions change. The health and safety of our students and staff remain our priority.

🌿 Air Quality Update

Santa Fe’s current Air Quality Index is in the green zone, indicating that outdoor recess and athletic activities are safe at this time.

Due to the Frijoles Fire, Santa Fe Public Schools will continue to closely monitor air quality and adjust outdoor activities as needed based on current conditions and guidance.

The health and safety of our students and staff remain our top priority. 💚
