We would like to thank our Chamisa community for their support in our chocolate fundraiser. Please bring in any outstanding balances Monday, September 30. Thank you.

We'd like to welcome our new families to Chamisa. Thank you for those families who came to our Dinner and Meet this past week.

We are excited to celebrate Unity Day on October 16th this year, as part of National Bullying Prevention Month. Unity Day, established by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in 2011, is a global event that promotes kindness, inclusion, and the acceptance of differences as we work together to create healthier, more supportive communities.

We invite you to participate by wearing orange and/or organizing a Unity Day activity within our school community. Together, we can show our students that our community cares about their well-being and stands firmly against bullying. Our collective efforts will make a lasting impact on their young lives as we demonstrate the power of unity on this important topic.

You can find more details, including ideas for activities, lesson plans, and other resources to help you celebrate, by visiting the Unity Day guide or https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp.

Thank you for joining us in this important movement! Let’s come together and make Unity Day a meaningful experience for all.

Just a reminder that Los Alamos Public Schools invites parents and caregivers of students in grades 6 - 12 to attend a Safety Briefing: Drugs, Sex and Phones Part 1: What Parents Need to Know about Smartphones and Social Media.

This event will take place on Tuesday, October 1 starting at 6 pm in the LAHS Speech Theater.

LAPS Superintendent Jennifer Guy will join representatives from the Los Alamos Police Department, LAHS and LAMS administration, and LAPS Counseling and Prevention staff to share information about concerning trends and activities that are dangerous to our youth. Attendees will leave with more awareness, and tips and strategies for talking with their children.
