Santa Fe Public Schools continues to monitor air quality during wildfire smoke events and other air quality alerts to help protect the health and safety of students and staff.
SFPS uses AirNow.gov as its primary source for Air Quality Index (AQI) information while also considering conditions at individual school sites, as air quality can vary across the district.
Principals may move recess, physical education classes, and other outdoor activities indoors at any time based on conditions at their school. Schools do not need to wait for a districtwide directive to make adjustments when conditions warrant.
SFPS will continue to monitor air quality and make decisions with the health and safety of students and staff as our priority.

📚 An important update for our youngest readers!
Beginning this school year, Santa Fe Public Schools will use DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) as our reading screener for students in kindergarten through second grade, replacing Amira for these assessments.
DIBELS helps educators measure key early literacy skills and identify where students may need additional support, giving teachers valuable information to guide instruction and help every student build a strong foundation in reading.
We appreciate the New Mexico Public Education Department for providing districts with this option and supporting our ability to choose the assessment that best meets the needs of our students and educators.
We look forward to using DIBELS to support strong literacy instruction and continued reading growth for our youngest learners! 📖

Update on Our Water Donation Drive
Thank you so much to everyone who was ready to come together and support our first responders, workers, and families affected by the Frijoles Fire. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to help our community means so much to us. ❤️
We have received word that additional water supplies are not needed at this time. Because of this, we will not be accepting water donations today, Thursday, August 20th.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who shared our message, planned to donate, and helped spread the word. It is a beautiful reminder of how caring and generous our community is when our neighbors need us.
Thank you for understanding and, most of all, thank you for your kindness and support. ❤️🙏
