Dear parents and guardians, several schools at LCPS have gone into a shelter-in-place due to inclement weather and lightning detected within 10 miles of our schools.
Upon the occurrence of lightning at dismissal time, students who drive may be released based on principal’s discretion. All bus riders and walkers will be sheltered until the area is deemed safe.
If you are picking up your child while a school is sheltering in place due to weather, you may do so at your own risk. We apologize for the inconvenience.


This morning, staff at Las Cruces Public Schools gathered outside of the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex to welcome Superintendent Ignacio Ruíz to the district. Thank you to the Las Cruces High School Drumline for a wonderful performance!
