Good afternoon La Merced families:
If your child attended La Merced last year, he/she is already registered. At this time, there is nothing else required. All the regular "back to school" forms (media release, permission for technology, etc) are available in the office to pick up and will also be available at our "Orientation Night," which is July 27th from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. You may call the office if you would like to know who your child's teacher is and of course if you have any questions about registration.
If your child DID NOT attend Belen Schools last year and will be attending La Merced, please stop in for a complete registration packet. The office is open 8am to 4pm. You will need to bring child's birth certificate, shot records, and a proof of address.
For all Belen students, if they are going to ride the bus, they must be registered with the transportation department. Ridership forms for registration are available in the office.

Hello La Merced Families and Staff,
After careful consideration of all data including parent and teacher input, the decision has been made to not extend the school day at La Merced for the 2022-2023 school year.
Congratulations to Steven Banister, kindergarten student at La Merced!!!! He won a bike for year-long perfect attendance!!!
Hello La Merced family. Last Friday, we were able to have our first school assembly at LME this year. One thing that was addressed is the upcoming field day. Starting May 2, if a student receives a referral slip to the office, they will loose the chance to participate in field day. We are hoping that this will help the students make better decisions and better choices. Please discuss this with your students. Thank you.
Hello La Merced Family. Don't forget that we have Friday and Monday off for Easter Holiday. Classes will resume on Tuesday the 19th. 6th Grade will begin state testing that day, so please get plenty of rest and make every effort to be at school on time. Have a great holiday.
