2020-21 School Year Welcome Letter
September 6, 2020

Dear Longfellow Families:

Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!  We are beginning the year in an unprecedented time of change due to the current health emergency, and want to begin by assuring you that both our school district and  Longfellow Staff have been hard at work planning and preparing for a safe and instructionally sound return for all students and staff.  Thank you for your patience and continued support as we have worked through this process, and know that we invite your feedback along the way.


As we return to in-person learning on September 8, 2020, teachers will begin content instruction in both the Hybrid and Online models.  You will have received full information on your child’s instructional model in the onboarding process.

Important changes to systems and procedures for families include:
  • Families using the drop off / pick up line are asked to remain in their vehicles and use the drive through line at both morning arrival and afternoon pick up.  Please do not park and walk up.
  • Family members and visitors are not to enter the school except by appointment or on an emergency, case by case basis.  The office may be reached at 575-445-9261.
  • Family members and visitors will not be permitted to drop off items for students (forgotten lunch boxes, backpacks, etc.).  The school will also not be accepting snacks, treats, or other items to share within classrooms.

We thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and patience with these requirements.  Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or the school office with any questions or concerns.


We are looking forward to a year of both challenges and successes for all students! Thank you for your continued support for your child’s best academic experience.


Sincerely,


Kimberly Sanchez
Principal, Longfellow Elementary School
