Cruces Creatives invites K-12 LCPS Teachers to: Make it & Take it! Join us to learn how to make and take home your own plant propagation station! While building your propagation station, our instructors and CommunityShare coordinators will share how this project can be brought into your classroom in a variety of ways, whether through natural science, mathematics, or anywhere in between! Would you like to go even further with your students by engaging with folks in the “real world"? Stay after the build to connect with our CommunityShare team to hear about resources and community connections that can be brought to your students. During or after the event, you can join our ongoing Community of Practice in Education, which is open to all LCPS K-12 teachers who want to engage with, inspire, and be inspired by fellow educators in transforming classrooms into community experiences.

At 2:45 p.m. The following schools have lifted their shelter in place weather protocol: Doña Ana Elementary, MacArthur, Hermosa Heights, Jornada, MVLA.

As of 12:50 p.m. many campuses are sheltering in place due to lightning, including: MVLA, Vista Middle, Camino, Sunrise, Central Elementary, Conlee, Alameda, Lynn, Tombaugh, Jornada, Desert Hills, Mesilla Park Elementary, Monte Vista, Hermosa Heights, Sierra, Sonoma, Doña Ana Elementary, Organ Mountain, Picacho Middle, Centennial, Zia, Loma Heights, Las Cruces High, Fairacres Elementary, and MacArthur.

If you need to pick up your child while a school is sheltering in place due to weather, you may do so at your own risk. Las Cruces Public Schools assumes no responsibility for your child at that point. Please expect delays as it takes time to call each child out of class individually or in small groups.
