Parents, the relocation of Doña Ana students this morning has prompted an increase in police presence and traffic in the area, but the school day continues as normal for Vista students.
Due to ongoing police activity in the area, Doña Ana Elementary students have been relocated to Vista Middle School. LCPS has authorized early release of students immediately. Parents or authorized guardians/emergency contacts can pick up students from the gym at Vista with photo ID (please use the Vista parking lot off Elks Drive). If you are unable to pick up your child, all students will be housed at Vista through the end of the day.
