​A Letter From Superintendent Dr. Veronica C. Garcia

Esteemed Faculty and Staff,

The Governor of New Mexico has declared a statewide health emergency.  She has encouraged that fans and family members watch the NMAA tournament games on TV from home; the whole family should not go.  She has also asked that individuals voluntarily choose to not attend large events.

The NMAA says it will keep the public updated on any changes to the State Basketball Tournament.  If you would like to watch the tournament from home, all contests will be streamed live via the NFHS Network (www.nfhsnetwork.com) for a subscription fee of $10.99.   You can listen to the games live, for free, via KSWV radio. Go Demons! Go Jaguars!

In a preponderance of caution, I want to reiterate that all out-of-state and country travel that is sponsored by SFPS is prohibited.  Beginning tomorrow, all field trips are cancelled until further notice.

The District leadership and I have developed a Pandemic Prevention, Preparation, Response and Recovery Procedural Manual.  Tomorrow, I will be providing all staff with more guidance.  But I assure you that the District is well prepared for other developments that may arise as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

We continue to keep a close watch on the evolving situation with regard to the coronavirus. We are following the lead of the New Mexico Department of Health and the Public Education Department; the DOH website, at https://cv.nmhealth.org, is still the best place to go for up-to-date information and medical facts about the coronavirus in our state. 

Some basic facts are worth repeating.

•             Prevention is our best approach to coronavirus. 
•             If you feel sick, stay home. 
•             Continue to practice good prevention techniques: Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer.  Avoid shaking hands.  Don’t touch your face.  Cover your coughs and sneezes.

We are encouraging all Santa Fe residents to enroll in Alert Santa Fe, an emergency notification system that will allow the city to provide important information quickly, efficiently and accurately. You can find Alert Santa Fe at https://www.santafenm.gov/alertsantafe

Health care professionals and officials advise us that this is an ever-changing situation, that more changes will occur and that more measures will be needed in the days, weeks and months ahead.

We will continue to look to DOH for additional guidance, provide regular updates as we get them and announce additional measures as the situation warrants. 

Please check the DOH website for information at https://cv.nmhealth.org/

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and for all you do for the students and families of the Santa Fe Public Schools.  I appreciate you so very much.  Be well.

Best regards,
