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. For more information, see: https://5il.co/39nqg -- 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.

SFPS is holding a sealed-bid auction for decommissioned musical instruments, with written bids accepted from March 15, 2025, through March 24, 2025. The instruments, located at the old Capshaw Gymnasium, 351 W Zia Rd, are available for purchase by the public. This auction is not for high-quality instruments. Most were purchased over 15 years ago at low quality; many are broken or beyond cost-effective repair. Any potentially valuable or collectible items require significant restoration. Interested buyers are invited to attend an in-person public viewing on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 351 W. Zia Rd. The gymnasium’s side entrance will be used for access.

SFPS has received numerous inquiries about rumors around the community regarding visits from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Santa Fe Public Schools. These rumors are completely false—ICE has not visited our district. SFPS reaffirms its commitment to welcoming every student, regardless of immigration status. Under the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Plyler v. Doe, all children, including undocumented students, have the right to attend public schools. In New Mexico, every child is entitled to a free public education, regardless of their immigration status. We continue to adhere to the New Mexico Attorney General’s guidance, Ensuring a Safe and Secure Learning Environment for All, which supports a safe and inclusive environment for all students. For further information, www.sfps.info/article/2003207 or if you have questions or concerns, please contact the Superintendent’s office. – SFPS ha recibido numerosas consultas sobre rumores en la comunidad sobre visitas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) de EE. UU. a las Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe. Estos rumores son completamente falsos: ICE no ha visitado nuestro distrito.

Doe, todos los niños, incluidos los estudiantes indocumentados, tienen derecho a asistir a escuelas públicas. En Nuevo México, todos los niños tienen derecho a una educación pública gratuita, independientemente de su estatus migratorio.
