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.
