Weekly Notes & Reminders
We have a busy week ahead!
Hello Barranca Mesa Bobcat Families,Our 5th and 6th students begin NM-MSSA testing this week, Tuesday, April 21st through Friday, April 24th. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child is present and on time during testing days. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast each morning will help students do their best. Please note that students who miss a testing session will need to complete make-up assessments, which may take place during regular classroom instructional time. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success!

Students are asked to wear an assigned colored shirt per grade level and to also bring a filled water bottle. We’re looking forward to a fun and active day outside! Parents, if you would like to join us for Field Day, please enter the track by walking around the right side of the school to get to the back track.

Please participate in our semi-annual Panorama Survey, April 6-24. It takes about 15 minutes. Helping students do their best in school requires a team effort! Parents, students, and schools all play important roles in this process. To help us learn how to make your child's schooling experience as positive and beneficial as possible, please give us your honest, thoughtful responses. Students and staff across Los Alamos Public Schools are participating in this survey and we seek 100% participation so that all voices are heard.
