Mountainair Public Schools

I apologize for all the confusion with the last message! All students will participate in remote learning for the week of Monday, January 24th through Thursday, January 27th! All students will meet with their teachers everyday via zoom. Attendance will be taken in every class. Class times and schedules will remain the same.

Good evening! I wanted to touch base with everyone after the emergency board meeting to discuss remote learning. The Board has voted to do a 10 day reset. This means that all Mountainair sports, activities and classes will be cancelled until Monday, January 31st. For families and students who have been absent recently and need their ipads and/ or will need a hotspot for internet access, I will be my office Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 so hotspots and ipad's can be picked up and signed out. The breakfast/ lunch distribution schedule for Monday through Thursday will be as follows: 11:15-11:30 (Rodeo Grounds and Manzano), 11:45-12:00 (Punta de Agua and Abo) and 11:30-12:00 (Elementary cafeteria backdoor). At the regular monthly board meeting on Tuesday, January 25th, the re-entry plan will be discussed and approved. I hope during this reset period that all of you get well and stay well. We are in this together.

Please join us tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00 pm for an Emergency Board Meeting to discuss "remote learning." Dawn Apodaca is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Good Afternoon, I wanted to inform you that this afternoon at approximately 11:30, I initiated a shelter in place. A shelter in place, just means everyone stays inside a building. This was initiated due to a high speed chase that started in Estancia and entered Mountainair. Due to the high police presence in the area, and the unknown whereabouts of the person they were chasing, I felt it was best to keep all staff and students indoors and safe. The shelter in place has been lifted. If you have any questions, please call my office at 505-847-2333x3002.

Good Evening! I just wanted to send out a gentle reminder that tomorrow, Friday, January 14th is a regular school day. However, Monday, January 17th is NO SCHOOL, in observance of Martin Luther King Day. Please with the increase of COVID cases in town and in the county, please wear your masks and social distance. Be safe.

Please join us tonight at 6 pm for our regular monthly board meeting. Use this zoom link to access the meeting. Dawn Apodaca is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

On Thursday, September 9th, we will begin school at 12:00! It is of vital importance that our staff and students have an opportunity to attend the funeral services of one of our Mustangs G. Zimmerman. The services are being held at the Assembly of God Church in Mountainair at 9am. On this day, only lunch will be served. Please keep his family, friends, and teachers in your prayers as we grieve his loss.

We need YOU! School districts across our great state have been experiencing an unprecedented teacher shortage. Mountainair is no exception, we have a very difficult time finding teachers. If you have the desire to be a teacher this is a great opportunity for you.

Are you looking for something for the kids to do?? Mr. Dustin Kayser will be hosting “open gym” nights at the Elementary gym. Open gym is open for all students ages 12 and up, Sunday and Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 8pm! Be sure to bring your own water bottle. No registration is required, just show up and have fun!

"If your family's housing situation has changed due to the COVID crisis, please contact Mr. Cate at christopher.cate@mpschools.net. We are here to help."
