This is happening tonight.....SFPS looks at redistricting. This applies to the districts within SFPS, not school boundaries.
Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education will hold a town hall on redistricting from 5 to 7 pm tonight in its board room (610 Alta Vista) in advance of adopting new board districts by the end of next month. According to redistricting plans, under the current district composition, District 3 is too large and needs to lose population. The board will consider three concepts to address the issue. Concept A's goal is "to minimally change the boundaries of current districts to equalize the population and retain two Hispanic-majority districts." Concept B would also strive to minimally change the boundaries while "keeping more neighborhoods together and keeping boundaries between districts along major thoroughfares and features wherever possible." Concept C's objective would be to "align board member districts with the schools they are assigned to represent." Watch a presentation from Research & Polling, Inc on the proposed redistricting here (you can review the proposal here). The public can submit comments to [email protected].

Do you know that SFPS currently has several community schools and is working toward making all schools community schools?

Community Schools Offer More Than Just Teaching The concept has been around for a while, but the pandemic reinforced the importance of providing support to families and students to enhance learning.

Starting tomorrow....Family Literacy Academy. Free from he tNM Department of Education (NM PED).

Check out this new and fun tool. The NMSU ICAN (Ideas for Cooking and Nutrition) program and the Department of Innovative Media, Research & Extension collaborated with other educators in New Mexico and Puerto Rico to identify foods and make the tool usable for kids and adults. Users learn how their favorite foods fit into a MyPlate guide, learn how to split combination foods into the MyPlate categories (including culturally relevant foods such as enchiladas, mutton stew or Indian tacos), and find easy ways to eat more of what they need. Users can use foods that are specific to New Mexico and our region, histories, and communities.

Does your school celebrate Pi Day (the years that it doesn't fall during Spring Break)?

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie. Learn more at https://www.piday.org/

Do you know how long your child reads at school every day? If you're not sure, ask your child's teacher. The answer may surprise you. This article is written by a teacher for teachers but still has some very helpful tips to foster the love of reading, including suggested reading lists. It's good to know what students are doing in the classroom so you can compliment/duplicate those practices at home. It's also good to know what day your child attends "library" so you can help them choose a book before "library" and get them excited about bringing home their new book.
