Thank you families for your patience while we worked on getting your children home with food for the winter break. Food will still be available for students who were absent today and can be picked up tomorrow at our 11:00 a.m. dismissal. Otherwise, it will be sent home on the bus with the student.


It’s everything LCPS, in your pocket.
Las Cruces School District is launching a new mobile app
that helps students, parents, and community members
know what is happening on campus, right from their phones.
We know that families are using smartphones as a primary
means to communicate. That’s why we’ve created an
app that is custom-built for mobile. On the app, you can
find documents, contact information for staff, and event
information. You can download the app for free from the
Apple App Store or Google Play.


Tomorrow (Thursday, 12/16), all Columbia students will be sent home with 15 days of food in 2 big boxes for the winter break. If you are able to pick up your child on this day, it would be a great help.
