The New Mexico Public Education Department’s mandate (announced 3:00pm 9/3/20) that all schools re-open using a hybrid model means that HVPS reentry plan to bring back Kindergarten through 6th grade students next week in a full reentry model is no longer permissible. HVPS will have to design an A/B (Monday-Tuesday or Wednesday-Thursday) schedule with a maximum of 50% of each class in each cohort K-12. This means that each student will be attending in person classes two days a week, and remote learning two days a week. HVPS will be 100% remote learning K-12 next week, September 8-10, 2020, so that a revised re-opening plan can be developed and approved. We will contact you next week to let you know which group your child will be in and updated the bus schedule. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

In person School is cancelled tomorrow Thursday September 3rd for Kindergarten thru 3rd grade, and Special Education students. Remote Learning will continue as scheduled. One staff member and several Hondo Valley students have tested positive for COVID-19. The district is following the directives from the New Mexico Department of health and Public Education Department. In order to ensure a safe reentry next week for our kindergarten through sixth grade students, we are canceling school tomorrow to give our maintenance staff ample opportunity to deep clean the facilities. Have a happy Labor Day weekend, and as always, thank you for your continued support.
