School will resume two hours after your normal start time today. Please ensure your student(s) are not dropped off prior to the delayed start as staff will not be on campus.
Out of an abundance of caution, due to icy road conditions and freezing temperatures developing overnight in some parts of the district, Santa Fe Public Schools will start Friday, January 5th on a two-hour delay. We will continue to assess road conditions and update with any changes by 7 AM.
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.
Whether your child is a newborn, college student or anywhere in between, parents have special tax situations and benefits. Review tax information for parents and get general

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.
