Good morning,

Students who are affected by the River Road Bridge closure will not be marked tardy until the bridge has reopened. Students will also not be marked absent until we have verified that they are, in fact, absent. This will remain in effect until further notice.

Questions
You may qualify for free Broadband Internet:
The families of rural students in 13 school districts are being asked to sign up for Student Connect broadband service. The state’s broadband office awarded $25 million to internet service providers that partnered with the school districts to help construct fixed wireless service to student households that lacked broadband. Belen is one of those districts.
Eligible families are being asked to contact internet service providers to sign up for the broadband. School districts can also refer families to the ISPs.
For information on Student Connect and to sign up and to be directed to the proper provider to receive service, go to the Connect NM Student Connect website.

DCE Families, you are invited to watch the DCE Costume Parade taking place tomorrow morning 10/30/26 at 9:30 am.
We ask that you gather on the big field next to the drop off lane, and line up along the outside of the field.
Students will be parading around the field multiple time so that you can get lots of pictures!

We will have morning drop off procedures as usual.
After student drop off at 8:45 we will reopen Esperanza Street for parking
Parking will also be available in our front lot, in the empty lot across from the drop off lane, and in the TRC parking lot.
* We please ask that you DO NOT park in the Romero Funeral home lot as they are conducting business during that time.
We will have the gates on Esperanza Street open, please feel free to bring a lawn chair, your coffee and enjoy watching our community have some fun.
