Hello Blackhawks! Can you believe the 2023-24 school year starts in just a few weeks? Here is some important information that will help make the beginning of the year a success for all!
* The first day for 1st-6th graders is Tuesday, 8/15. The first day for Kindergartners is Thursday, 8/17.
* School starts at 8am, with a tardy bell at 8:05am. School will end at 3:15pm M-Th, and 1:05pm on Friday. We will have before school supervision starting at 7:30am in the cafeteria. After school supervision is available for 6-12-year-olds from the Boys and Girls Club. Reach out to Jasper Mares at 505-603-8373 or jmares@bgcsantafe.org to register. Jasper will also set up a table for registration on the first day of school. Flyer shown below.
* If you don't have a PowerSchool Parent Account, use this PowerSchool for Guardians link for step-by-step directions on how to get an account. It is important that all parents can see their child's attendance and grades on a regular basis.
* Out of an abundance of safety, we will not be posting class lists on the front windows. You will need to log into PowerSchool to see your child's schedule/homeroom teacher.
* Kindergartners will be assigned to a classroom teacher after the Kinder Kickoff meetings. Kindergarten teachers will call guardians to set up the Kinder Kickoff meetings. They will begin calling on 8/11.
* The Tax-Free Holiday is 8/4-8/6. Here are our school supply lists per grade level.
* This year, Santa Fe Public Schools will provide no-cost meals to students! 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 from each family. 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. When filling out the application, please fill out ALL income information correctly and list all bodies that live in your house even if they do not attend school, you might get an error or attention notice that your income exceeds the application amount but just ignore and submit anyway. Questions? Contact Tina Anaya at 505-467-3600. If you do not fill out this application your child will be charged as a secondary meal and will have to pay for food.
Only one breakfast and one lunch meal are at no cost daily. Any second meals or a la carte options must be paid for at time of service. This includes an a la carte milk for students who brought a lunch from home. Use My School Bucks to deposit money for second meals or a la carte items.
