SFPS is working daily on immediate solutions to provide relief to families experiencing bus route cancellations due to the severe bus driver shortage.
Students from Early College Opportunities (ECO), Mandela International Magnet School (MIMS), Milagro Middle School and Santa Fe High School can walk or find transportation to their nearest elementary school, excluding Atalaya, Chaparral and Tesuque Elementary Schools, for transportation to their assigned school. For the trip back home, students would use the same bus route to return to the elementary school they were picked up from in the morning.
For example, El Dorado Community School Route 26 will leave the school at 8:00 a.m. to transport Milagro and Santa Fe High students to school. For the trip back home, students would use the same bus route to return to El Dorado Community School.
"Whatever elementary school is closest, outside the three elementary schools with canceled routes, can transport ECO, MIMS, Milagro Middle or Santa Fe High School students to school," said Superintendent Hilario "Larry" Chavez.
"Although we currently do not have the resources to maintain all bus routes, we will continue to work daily on solutions to help mitigate the impact this is having on our families. We are confident route cancellations are a temporary condition and look forward to restoring full service," he said. "We thank the SFPS community for its patience and understanding."
Interested parents are asked to please call SFPS' Transportation Department at (505) 467-3500. Additionally, parents transporting students in their personal vehicles will be offered a per diem for their assistance.
SFPS is also offering free, paid training on receiving a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a school bus driver endorsement for those who would like to become school bus drivers. For information and requirements on obtaining your CDL, please call (505) 467-3500 or visit https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/how-do-i-get-commercial-drivers-license.

Along with many other vaccine providers across the state, our partners are having difficulty securing shipments of Covid-19 vaccine. We are sorry to announce that our clinic at Gonzales Community School, which was scheduled for 11/6 has been cancelled.
The clinic at Ortiz Middle School, scheduled for 11/8 will offer flu vaccine for people of all ages and Covid-19 pediatric vaccine (for ages 6 months-12 years) only. Unfortunately, there will be no adult Covid-19 vaccine available at Ortiz. If you are looking for a place to get an adult Covid-19 booster, please visit: https://vaccine.doh.nm.gov/

"We 'DONUT' know what we'd do without you!"
Yesterday morning, Chaparral Elementary took the initiative to acknowledge and reward the dedication of our families in ensuring their children arrive at school on time!
As part of this special celebration, every caregiver at Chaparral Elementary received a delicious donut as a token of appreciation for their commitment to punctuality. Furthermore, a select few received exceptional treats, including complimentary car washes, Chick-fil-A gift cards, or gas gift cards to express our gratitude for their consistent support!




The vaccination clinic at Chaparral Elementary has been canceled. We will send an update if there will be a rescheduled date. We apologize for any inconvenience.
