For that weekend, the collection of gross receipts taxes on sales of qualifying items will be suspended, so you can buy the items tax-free.

Join us on August 10th as we come together to provide school supplies to ensure your child has a successful start to the new school year!
See below for more information.
If your child has a health condition requiring medication at school or other medical treatment during the 23-24 school year, please contact your school nurse to obtain the necessary forms and doctor's orders. Thank you for your help in keeping students healthy and ready to learn!
Santa Fe Public Schools is now accepting applications for free or reduced-price meals. Although we will feed all students at no cost in the 2023-24 school year, we must collect an application for Free and Reduced Meals. The data collected from this process determines eligibility and funding for P-EBT, Title 1, E-Rate, and other programs. Only one application per family is needed. The application can be completed online at www.myschoolapps.com
Questions? Contact Tina Anaya at 505-467-3600.
We wanted to take a moment to emphasize the continued importance of submitting free and reduced lunch applications for your children. These applications play a vital role, especially now that SB4 (Healthy Universal School Meals) is tied to funding and programming.
The Public Education Department relies on accurate counts of qualifying students to ensure that the necessary funds and services are available to schools across New Mexico. By submitting your free and reduced lunch applications, you contribute to this crucial process and help support our schools and students.
The benefits of these applications go beyond just providing nutritious meals to our children. They enable the Public Education Department to allocate funds for various educational programs and initiatives that directly impact our students' learning experiences. These resources can make a significant difference in their education and overall well-being.
Together, we can ensure that every student in Santa Fe has access to the resources they need to thrive.
Queríamos tomarnos un momento para enfatizar la importancia continua de enviar solicitudes de almuerzo gratis oa precio reducido para sus hijos. Estas aplicaciones juegan un papel vital, especialmente ahora que SB4 (Comidas Escolares Universales y Saludables) está ligado a la financiación y la programación.
El Departamento de Educación Pública se basa en conteos precisos de estudiantes calificados para garantizar que los fondos y servicios necesarios estén disponibles para las escuelas en todo Nuevo México. Al enviar sus solicitudes de almuerzo gratis o reducido, contribuye a este proceso crucial y ayuda a apoyar a nuestras escuelas y estudiantes.
Los beneficios de estas aplicaciones van más allá de brindar comidas nutritivas a nuestros niños. Permiten que el Departamento de Educación Pública asigne fondos para varios programas e iniciativas educativas que impactan directamente en las experiencias de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes. Estos recursos pueden marcar una diferencia significativa en su educación y bienestar general.
Juntos, podemos asegurarnos de que todos los estudiantes de Santa Fe tengan acceso a los recursos que necesitan para prosperar.

Congratulations to Marshall Mendez at Desert Sage Academy for having his film, Algebra II in the Kitchen, featured at the Film Prize Jr NM Santa Fe Screening at the Violet Crown Tuesday, June 6th at 6PM!
His film is one of the 15 films selected to be featured out of the 93 student-made films submitted!
Film Prize Junior New Mexico is a new initiative from the creators of the award-winning Louisiana Film Prize and Film Prize Junior Louisiana in partnership with the Stagecoach Foundation. Film Prize Junior is a student short film competition for middle and high school students across the state of New Mexico.
For this competition, educators and students work together to create a concept, write a story, and produce and edit a short film with help from our team members and film mentors. If an entrant to our festival makes it through our competition, we showcase their short film at our film festival. Furthermore, entries can qualify for huge prizes including equipment grants for the schools, scholarships for the students and cash rewards for the educators!

Multiple school districts throughout the state have received social media threats against schools. SFPS and SFPD are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety at our schools. The City of Santa Fe and SFPD are working directly with the FBI on the threat, which appears to be a hoax. There is no immediate threat towards any SFPS school.
