LCPS parents,
Our bus partner, STS of New Mexico, has been receiving updates on a construction project along Main Street that could delay bus service for students.
From now until October 2024, portions of Main between Elks and Solano could experience temporary closures, lane restrictions and traffic congestion. We understand that construction will pose challenges to our daily routines, and we ask for your patience as STS of New Mexico works to ensure everyone's safety while looking into adjusting bus routes.
Thank you in advance,
Las Cruces Public Schools
