Happy Saturday MVLA! Our vendor was able to provide us another opportunity to order with an online option. The link will be good until Wednesday December 11th! https://www.royalteeslcnm.com/store/c30/MESILLA_VALLEY_LEADERSHIP_ACADEMY.html

December is a month filled with opportunities to express love, gratitude, kindness — and if you can, help others during a time of need.
As the temperatures drop, many of our very own neighbors in the community struggle to stay warm during the winter season. That is why Las Cruces Public Schools is asking for your support to help spread kindness in community.
From Dec. 8, through Jan. 8, LCPS will be collecting new or used blankets, coats, gloves, socks, or other warm clothing to help those who need it most.
Please consider making a donation at any of our donation drop boxes located at 505 S. Main St., Suite 249 in Central Office, TLC, Operations, and the Health Services building.


Hi MVLA Families! Tomorrow is the day to turn in your t-shirt orders. We have extra order forms at the school if you need one. Please have your students turn in the money to our vendor at lunch tomorrow. Remember we need 15 shirts of each design to be able to get them ordered. Please also remind students to dress to impress for the Amazing Shake tomorrow! We are so excited to see them present tomorrow!

40 Minutes until our Virtual Parent Information meeting for new student applicants! Please join us tonight at 6pm if you're interested in learning more about MVLA! https://lcps.zoom.us/j/88115575165

La encuesta estará abierta del 21 de noviembre al 10 de diciembre y el distrito anima a todas las familias y al personal de LCPS a compartir sus puntos de vista.
El proceso de reestructuración distrital aborda temas críticos como el hacinamiento en las escuelas de East Mesa, el balance de las inscripciones en las escuelas preparatorias integrales y el ajuste para los cambios demográficos en todo el distrito. El distrito se está enfocando principalmente en balancear el cupo en las escuelas, mejorar el transporte y planificar el crecimiento a largo plazo, incluida la posible construcción de nuevas escuelas en áreas en crecimiento como Redhawk y Peachtree.
