WINTRY WEATHER EXPECTED THURSDAY, LCPS DELAYED TWO HOURS
Kelly Jameson
MAR 01, 2023
A wintry weather forecast has prompted Las Cruces Public Schools to call a two-hour delay for all students and staff Thursday morning, March 2. According to officials, bus schedules have been adjusted to accommodate the late start.
Blowing wind and freezing temperatures at San Augustin Pass impact bus transportation across the district, according to officials, and safety is of paramount importance.
The Southwest New Mexico Music Educators Association Orchestra Music Performance Assessment (MPA) will proceed as originally scheduled for all schools, as bussing of students will not be impacted by the late start.
For any additional weather delays or updates, please monitor the LCPS homepage, www.lcps.net.
Parents,
We hope you can still join us for "One Pill Can Kill", a conversation with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the New Mexico National Guard on the threat of fentanyl in our community.
This event is open to the public Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex. Translation services will be available.
A livestream of the meeting is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBCvAbg7imQ

Jump Rope For Heart- message from Coach Michelle
I just wanted to let you all know we just kicked off Kids Heart Challenge/Jump Rope for Heart. Students should have taken fliers home last week with directions on how to sign up on a smart phone or computer. Our goal this year is $3,500. The last day to fundraise is February 17th.
This year, the American Heart Association is focusing on hands only CPR. (There are videos for students to watch with their guardian on hands only CPR as well as extra trainings to get certified.) Data shows 70% of people who have a heart event will have it at home and 90% of those will not make it. That is pretty scary to think about. So please encourage your students to sign up and be a heart hero. The class who raises the most money will be treated to a pizza party. As of right now, Mrs. Payne’s class is in the lead with $101 and Mrs. Fox coming around the corner with $60.00. If anyone would like any information on how to sign up and donate yourself, please let me know or you can also check the Conlee Facebook page.
