Parent/Teacher conferences are being held Wednesday, October 9, and Thursday, October 10. Notices were sent home Monday informing families of their conference times. Students do not come to school on these days. Fifth and sixth graders are encouraged to attend their conference with their parents.

Please call your student's teacher or the office if you have any questions.

Los Alamos' districts Fall Break is Friday, October 11 thru Monday, October 14. We will return to school Tuesday, October 15. Have a wonderful long weekend with your families. Enjoy our lovely fall weather!

PTO treated students who sold 3 or more boxes of chocolate with a pizza party today.

Natalia Trujillo (1st gr) was the top seller at 21 boxes! Hailie Ulibarri (2nd gr) was in second place at 12 boxes, and Evelyn Sena (4th gr) was third with 11 boxes! Thank you all for supporting our school.

Dear Middle Team Families-

You are invited to join us in the Chamisa Gym at 8:30 am on Friday, November 8, 2024 as your students present a special musical program to honor our community Veterans and their families. This will be held after the PTO Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast.

New this year: As many students have shared that they have service members in their families, I will be creating a slide presentation including photos of Veterans related to our Chamisa Community. If you would like to contribute a photo, please send it to m.tholen@laschools.net with Veteran Photo in the subject line. Be sure to include your student’s name, Veteran’s name, and how the two are related. (can be family or friend)

Students should dress in Red, White, and Blue on the day of the performance.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Megan Tholen, MM

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.

Our Halloween Costume Swap boxes are out and available for donations in the front of the school!! Please drop off any old costumes your family is not using anymore. Our Costume Swap and Cake Walk fundraiser is on Tuesday, October 22nd at 6pm.
