Multicultural Calendar of Events
For other events and activities, check out the school site calendars on the LAPS website.
Just a quick reminder that students planning to attend LAPS during the 2025-2026 school year should complete the registration process. This includes new and returning students, kindergarten and preschool. Go to www.laschools.net/registration for more information and to register using either a computer or smartphone.
The Returning student registration form is available through the parent PowerSchool portal at https://laps.powerschool.com/public
Almost 66% of eligible returning students have completed registration for the 2025-2026 school year. It would be greatly appreciated if we could reach 100% (3,395) by April 15.
All students planning to attend any LAPS site must complete the registration process. Students in grades 6th-11th who completed course selection are also required to complete the returning student registration form, as this is in addition to course selection. Please make sure to select the 2025-2026 school year when registering.
For questions, please contact Rosa Schmitz at r.schmitz@laschools.net or (505) 663-2201.
Summer Reading Program
Los Alamos Public Schools is excited to participate in this year’s Literacy NM Summer Program. This program will provide small group specialized reading and writing instruction for students who have completed grades K-8. This program will take the place of the traditional summer school or camp that the district has provided in recent years.
All LAPS students who would like to improve their reading and writing skills are invited to enroll on the state portal- NM Summer Reading Program Website (www.literacy.nm.gov). Currently, families can express interest on the website, the official student registration will go live in March. LAPS will not be conducting a separate registration for the summer program.
Student hours will be 8:30-12:30 pm daily, June 5-July 3.
There will be no sessions on Thursday, June 19 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.
The curriculum for the Literacy NM Summer program is Magnetic Reading.
The district will provide a bus to and from White Rock. This bus will pick up and drop off at Chamisa Elementary.
The YMCA offers an after camp program, which will also be housed at Barranca Mesa Elementary. After the morning session, students participating in the literacy program will be escorted to the YMCA camp. More information about the YMCA program can be found here https://laymca.org/summer.

Double Up Food Bucks Program
The Los Alamos Co-op Market is now part of the Double Up Food Bucks program. Families that use SNAP food assistance are able to shop at the co-op and get 50% off all New Mexico grown produce. The Los Alamos Co-op Market is open 7 days a week, from 7 am - 7 pm, making fresh New Mexico grown produce more accessible to folks who have a strict work schedule.
