The Santa Fe High School (SFHS) Band will be sporting new band uniforms within the next year. The new uniforms are being purchased with $164,000 in federal ESSER funds, which are set to expire in September.
"It's wonderful to have a little pot of remaining ESSER funding to provide this important need and SFPS Board of Education priority. We look forward to seeing the SFHS Band perform in their new attire at their home stadium and at other venues far and wide," said Superintendent Hilario "Larry" Chavez.
In making its request to the New Mexico Public Education Department to use ESSER funding to purchase the band uniforms, SFPS said, "Band performances help reignite our schools as centers of our community and culture, and in turn will boost school attendance. Furthermore, music performances are part of culturally relevant instruction and practice."

The start date for the 2024-25 school calendar will not be affected by this change. We thank you for your understanding and support as we work diligently on any needed updates. You can expect more details from us in the next few weeks.

Full-day Pre-K programs are also on a two-hour delay. Morning Pre-K programs have been canceled. Afternoon Pre-K programs will operate on a regular schedule.

Santa Fe Public Schools is open and following its regular schedule. School buses are also operating under their normal schedule. Area roads were not snow-packed this morning, which informed our decision to open schools. The district does not release students early on snow days once they're in school as there's no guarantee that someone will be at the student's home when they arrive. Parents can decide to keep their children home due to safety concerns. District staff is working at each school site to clear snow and prep the school grounds. Roads are also being cleared by city crews.
