All four student groups from Pinon Elementary's 6th-grade robotics team have qualified for the AFRL Robotics Challenge Expo. Students have been working throughout the year to complete challenges that have required skills in programming with Python, using advanced features and applications of micro:bits, and assembling and programming their own robots.
The four Pinon groups are part of the thirty teams that qualified out of an original group of one hundred teams.
On May 6th, the Pinon Robo Eagles will have the opportunity to participate in the Robotics Challenge Expo at Kirtland Air Force Base.
SFPS will be submitting applications under ESEA Title I, II, III and Title IV, Part A programs this spring. We welcome community input on our application! Please participate in our brief survey or join us for a Zoom meeting April 19 @ 12 PM.

This means that buses will run 2 hours later than during normal times.

Due to snow and icy road conditions throughout the District, all schools are on a 2-hour delay to provide additional time for buses to safely transport students to schools. This means that buses will run 2 hours later than during normal times. If you drop your child off at school, please remember that staff will also be on a two-hour delay. 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.
SFPS is seeking your opinion on whether to continue with masks in the public schools. Yesterday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham lifted the mask mandate, effective immediately, and made continued masking in the schools a local decision. Your voice matters! Please respond to the survey by noon on Sunday, February 20th. We will inform our school community on Monday regarding masking.

Due to snow packed roads and icy conditions in some parts of the District that would prohibit the safe transportation of students to school, all school sites are CLOSED. Students in grades 9-12 will be in remote synchronous learning today. Grades K-8, please contact your child’s teacher(s) regarding parent-teacher conferences.
All district staff should report as soon as it is safe to do so.
