LCPS Families,

Due to inclement weather in the area, Las Cruces Public Schools implemented its lightning safety protocol this afternoon at Centennial High School, which required students and staff to shelter in place until conditions were safe. (A copy of the lightning protocol in Spanish is linked here.)

As a result of the weather delay, middle and high school bus transportation will be delayed this afternoon.
