WINTRY WEATHER EXPECTED THURSDAY, LCPS DELAYED TWO HOURS

A wintry weather forecast has prompted Las Cruces Public Schools to call a two-hour delay for all students and staff Thursday morning, March 2. According to officials, bus schedules have been adjusted to accommodate the late start.
Blowing wind and freezing temperatures at San Augustin Pass impact bus transportation across the district, according to officials, and safety is of paramount importance.
The Southwest New Mexico Music Educators Association Orchestra Music Performance Assessment (MPA) will proceed as originally scheduled for all schools, as bussing of students will not be impacted by the late start.
For any additional weather delays or updates, please monitor the LCPS homepage, www.lcps.net.
Parents,
We hope you can still join us for "One Pill Can Kill", a conversation with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the New Mexico National Guard on the threat of fentanyl in our community.
This event is open to the public Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex. Translation services will be available.
A livestream of the meeting is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBCvAbg7imQ
