LCPS Parents, We are experiencing a districtwide outage with our phone lines. This means phone calls to your child's school are not going through. We have service providers looking into the issue and we will update you as soon as possible. Padres de LCPS, Estamos experimentando una interrupción en el servicio telefónico en todo el distrito. Esto significa que no se pueden recibir ni hacer llamadas telefónicas en la escuela de su hijo. Tenemos proveedores del servicio tratando de resolver dicho problema le tendremos al tanto de lo que ocurra tan pronto como nos sea posible.

The LCPS Foundation has announced that tonight's Trivia Night at The Game 2 is canceled. We apologize for the late notice.

Nathan Wells and Becky Keene spent a wonderful day with the instructional and technology teams in Las Cruces Public Schools. They started with a visit at Organ Mountain High School, where we listened to seasoned #esports players and coaches with the principal and district level staff. They continued our visit with Rio Grande Prep Institute, where we listened to newer players and coaches, while brainstorming solutions with school leadership and discussing future plans for growth. They ended with a planning session around academic esports for district-wide development in the coming year with the assistant superintendent, executive director of curriculum, and IT director. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with this team into the coming year, bringing #i2esports training and support to their new middle and high school coaches! Insight2execution #i2eEDU
