Good Evening Rio Grande Parents and Guardians, I just wanted to let you know that I did not allow the students to be outside for recess today due to the overwhelming number of mosquitoes. I have asked maintenance to have the playgrounds sprayed for mosquitoes as soon as possible. In the meantime, if possible send you student with long sleeves and pants until the playgrounds have been sprayed. You are more then welcome to spray your student with mosquito spray at home. However, do not send the spray to school. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the school at 505-966-2200.

Good morning Eagle Families, As education continues to evolve, it is imperative that we ensure our assessment methods align with the best interests of our students and the broader goals of their education. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition within the educational community about the potential impact of grading practices on student motivation, learning outcomes, and overall well-being. The educators in Belen Consolidated Schools, are committed to providing the best possible learning environment for our students. Thus, BCS is forming a committee that will critically examine our grading policies and recommend potential improvements. Eventually, the committee will involve various stakeholders, including teachers, students, parents, and administrative staff, to gather diverse perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of our current grading practices. To assist us in getting the process started please take the time to fill out this short 5 question survey, which will provide us with needed data. The survey can be accessed by using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/Hi7NDbcTrQ

Good evening, Eagle Families, As we prepare for the start of school, we ask for your patience if you registered your student to ride the bus for this school year. It is part of District regulations that your student's bus driver make contact with the parent to make sure the parent understands where and when their student will be picked up by the bus. Our drivers are working hard to contact the parents before the start of school tomorrow. However, we have had a large number of parents who registered their students today for bus pickup and drop-off. if you have not yet talked to your bus drive, you will need to provide transportation for your student until your bus driver is able to make contact with you. If you have questions, please call our transportation department at 505-966-1176.
