Engage New Mexico
For many students, going from a traditional classroom to learning from home can be a real challenge. New Mexico’s Public Education Department has partnered with Graduation Alliance to provide an extra layer of support for students and families who might be struggling with these changes. Students who choose to participate in the program will get an academic coach to work with them to answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to get on track and finish the school year strong.

Dental Examination for Enrollment
During the 2019 Legislative Session, House Bill 308 (HB308) was signed into law. In response to this legislation, the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) has promulgated New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) 6.12.13. Beginning July 1, 2021, this rule requires schools to verify student records of a dental examination within the past year prior to initial enrollment in the district or charter school. If the student has not had a dental examination within the past year, the parent or guardian may sign a Student Dental Examination Waiver indicating their understanding of the risks associated with the student not receiving a dental examination.
Full Re-Entry Message to Parents
March 9, 2021
Greetings CCSD Parents,
The New Mexico Secretary of Education Ryan Stewart announced that schools may return to full in person instruction! FORTUNATELY, Team CCSD has been preparing for this day and we are ready!
What does this mean for you and your children? All CCSD schools will be open for five day per week instruction beginning Monday, March 22, 2021. Deep cleaning will still take place on Wednesdays, however, these services will be scheduled AFTER the instructional and work day has concluded - regularly scheduled ½ day instruction / ½ day professional development. Parents who choose to have their children remain in a remote learning environment may do so.
Is my school safe for my child to be able to return to full instruction? ABSOLUTELY!!! We will continue to abide by ALL COVID SAFE PRACTICES (CSP). For employees, it is a condition of employment. All schools have passed all required NMPED requirements, meet or exceed CDC requirements, and will continue to maintain all screening practices. NOTHING HAS CHANGED in terms of the screening criteria for entering and remaining in school buildings. The current staff vaccination rate is approximately 85% with about ? of the employees responding to the vaccine survey.
What about the mandates restricting class size capacities and things like eating in the cafeteria? CCSD follows the guidance requiring students to be facing the same direction, monitor compliance with mask wearing, and social distancing to the greatest extent possible.
Whose responsibility is it to enforce the social distancing and mask wearing for all students? It is everyone’s responsibility. Parents need to prescreen children and remind them to follow CSP and the building staff’s responsibility to support students in adhering to the CSP. Noncompliance of all COVID Safe Practices by students can result in a remote learning program.
What about the Navajo Nation/NMPED requirements for consultation and respecting sovereignty? Supt. Benavidez has been and will continue to consult with the NN and DoDE. CCSD remains a parent choice for in person instruction option for students, respecting all tribal sovereignty requests.
We are applying for 21st CCLC Programs!
Central Schools is thrilled to announce that the district is applying for the 21st Century Community Learning Center Programs for the SYs 2021-2026. The district will make a full presentation at the March 24 Public Input Meeting, detailing how, if awarded, the programs would support all of our elementary schools and middle schools.
21st CCLC Programs offer students exceptional out-of-school time learning and developmental experiences throughout the state of New Mexico, providing a range of high-quality services outside of the traditional learning day or during periods when school is not in session (such as before and after school, or summer break).

Board of Education Adopts New Student Wireless Communication Device Policy

It also seeks to address security and safety concerns, including academic dishonesty, cyberbullying, and unauthorized recordings.
