UPDATED 5/18/2020
Thank you so much for your continued patience and support during the 2019-2020 School Year. No one could have imagined that when we dismissed classes for Spring Break back on March 13, that it would be the last day at school for our students. The school staffs greatly miss the face-to-face engagements and interactions with your child(ren). We know how important school is, not just for learning, but for social aspects as well.
LDoE is currently working with the Pueblo, Bureau of Indian Education, NM Public Education Department, and other entities to determine a plan to re-open school in August 2020. Our plan will be sure to address any Social Distancing, Personal Protective Equipment, hygiene, and other requirements. Our first priority is community safety. We will communicate information on school re-opening to you as soon as we can, but for sure no later than July 20, 2020. Other timelines for important communications are listed further down this webpage.
As for the 2019-2020 School Year, please be aware of the following:
- LMS report cards were issued at the beginning of May. Students received a grade of SAT (Satisfactory) or UNSAT (Unsatisfactory).
- All LMS students are being promoted to the next grade level.
- LES did not issue report cards for the last Trimester.
- All LES students, except for six, are being promoted to the next grade level. LES has directly contacted any parent whose child is being retained. If LES has not contacted you, your child is not being retained.
- Yearbooks – if you preordered an LES or LMS yearbook and have not already received it, please come to the front of LES and we will bring it out to you. LES Yearbooks are still available for sale. Cost is $10. Please come to the front of LES and we will bring it out to you.
- Certificates of Transition for grades Kinder, 5 and 8 are being mailed home.
- LES and LMS Staff will continue to reach out to students during the month of June to connect with students and offer any needed support. Please let us know if there is anything the school can do to help or support you.
- Registration packets for the 2020-2021 School Year will be available in July.
At the end of the 2019-2020 School Year, Mr. Trujillo retired. We would like to thank Mr. Trujillo for his hard work and dedication to the LDoE students and community. He will be missed. Recently, the LDoE Board of Education approved a reorganization and Dr. Gurule was hired to lead both the LES and the LMS beginning May 11, 2020. Please contact Dr. Gurule at h.gurule@lagunaed.net if you have any questions or concerns about LES or LMS.
As always, our parents are our partners in education. We look forward to seeing you in the Fall.
If you have questions, please contact LDOE Administration Office at 505-552-6008
