Today marks a special day at Atalaya Elementary as they warmly welcome the arrival of not one, but TWO Buddy Benches - a vibrant addition to their playgrounds, one dedicated to their PreK buddies and another for their amazing students in grades 1-6. The journey to this moment began with a heartwarming story of empathy and kindness, sparked by the observant eyes of a first grader at Atalaya, Alyssa Kesler. Alyssa, moved by the sight of a friend playing alone, want to help not just her friend but any student in need of a buddy. Her idea? A space where anyone feeling lonely or in need of a playmate could find a friend. And here we are, seeing Alyssa's vision come to life with our brand new Buddy Benches! These benches are more than just a place to sit; they're a beacon of friendship, a call to action for inclusion, and a reminder that no one should ever feel alone. Let's use these benches to spread kindness, encourage new friendships, and build a community where everyone feels welcome. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this initiative, proving once again that great things happen when we come together for a good cause. Remember, if you're looking for a friend to play with, head to the Buddy Bench - someone there is waiting to share a smile, a laugh, and maybe even a new adventure. Here's to making every day a little brighter, one buddy at a time! 💖

The new 180-day rule was announced today by the New Mexico Public Education Department. We are reviewing the rule to ensure that SFPS' flexible 2024-25 school year calendar, adopted by the SFPS Board of Education in February, aligns with the new requirements. The start date for the 2024-25 school calendar will not be affected by this change. We thank you for your understanding and support as we work diligently on any needed updates. You can expect more details from us in the next few weeks.

Out of an abundance of caution, due to low temperatures, unclear side roads and possible ice across the district, all schools will be on a 2-hour delay today, January 9th, 2024, to provide additional time for buses to safely transport students to schools. We will have an update at 7 AM tomorrow. This means that buses will run two hours later than during normal times. If you drop your child off at school, please remember that staff will also be on a two-hour delay. Full-day Pre-K programs are also on a two-hour delay. Morning Pre-K programs have been canceled. Afternoon Pre-K programs will operate on a regular schedule.

Out of an abundance of caution, due to icy road conditions and freezing temperatures developing overnight in some parts of the district, Santa Fe Public Schools will start Friday, January 5th on a two-hour delay. We will continue to assess road conditions and update with any changes by 7 AM.

Santa Fe Public Schools is open and following its regular schedule. School buses are also operating under their normal schedule. Area roads were not snow-packed this morning, which informed our decision to open schools. The district does not release students early on snow days once they're in school as there's no guarantee that someone will be at the student's home when they arrive. Parents can decide to keep their children home due to safety concerns. District staff is working at each school site to clear snow and prep the school grounds. Roads are also being cleared by city crews.
