Back to School

 

 

School starts on Wednesday, August 9. Here is a link to the 2023-24 School Calendar. Monday, August 7 and Tuesday, August 8 are days that are set aside for activities including things like:

 

These days are flexible for each school site to arrange so you will receive more information from your school principal. Students will not be at school all day on the 7th and 8th but will have times that they can go to the school for specific activities. This is new this year and we are looking forward to having specific days set aside to make sure all of our students get off to a great start. 

 

Band Instrument Night 

Band Instrument Night will be held on Thursday, August 10th from 4 pm - 7 pm in the Los Alamos Middle School Cafeteria. 

Band directors will be there to answer questions and fit students on instruments if needed.  Rob Dunham with Reprise Music and Hanneman Music will be there with instruments and supplies.

This will be a great place for parents to purchase instruments for beginners or for upgrade instruments for more advanced players.  

Please contact Deanna Teague at d.teague@laschools.net or Zane Meek at z.meek@laschools.net with any questions.

 

If you haven’t already completed registration for the 2023-2024 school year, please go to https://www.laschools.net/registration and complete this process as soon as possible. Middle and high school students who completed course selection are also required to complete registration, as this is a different process than course selection. We cannot issue a schedule or assign a student to a teacher unless you have completed registration.

Food Services

Los Alamos Public Schools is pleased to offer free breakfast and lunch to all of our students.  As we transition to feeding all of our students, we would like to highlight some items for you.  Breakfast at our elementary schools will be a sack option to ensure all students who want a meal are served in a timely manner. 

Free lunch service will be available for all Los Alamos Public Schools.  This will be a serve option that meets the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) guidelines for each grade level.  During the fall semester none of our school sites will serve a la carte options. This is so we can ensure that our food service partner is able to focus on quality, speed of service and presentation.  Students are still able to bring a lunch from home if that is their preference.

If a student has a dietary need (this includes vegan requests), this must be communicated with the school site nurse. The school site will inform our food service partner so they can prepare the requested meal for the student.  In addition to our one hot lunch option, the district will offer a sack lunch option as well. You can view menus online at https://laschools.nutrislice.com/menu. The August menu will be posted no later than August 7, 2023. 

Even though all students can participate in the breakfast and lunch program we are asking that families fill out the free and reduced meal program application.  This is important as our free and reduced numbers are used for other important funding opportunities which support the district and our students.   Please use the online option at www.schoolcafe.com. If you are unable to complete the online option please download a copy of the  Free and Reduced Meal Program application. Email the completed form to s.salazar@laschools.net.
