Greetings Kearny Families!

We are so excited to welcome students back to the classroom this year!

Last year was challenging, and we continue to be grateful to all of you for your support, flexibility and cooperation as we navigated all of the guidance to safely respond to the pandemic.

This year, we are offering in-person learning for all of our students! Please know that we will continue to follow every guideline and precaution to ensure a safe environment for our students. There will be more information in the coming days, but please know that we will continue to require masks for both students and teachers as we return for the new year. We will also continue to maintain learning pods to minimize the amount of students your child has contact with during the school day. I will also be holding parent meetings shortly after the school year begins to clarify more information as it becomes available through the New Mexico Public Education Department and our SFPS district leaders.

For now, this list contains important information to help you start planning for the new year:

First Day of School for 1st - 6th grade - Friday, August 6th, 8:10 am - 12:45 pm (half-day) Half-Days are on Friday this year, not Wednesday Full days are from 8:10 am - 3:10 pm Breakfast starts at 7:40 am if you would like your child to eat breakfast at school

Peachjar Flyer Distribution

Our district wants families to know about valuable programs and resources in the community. To facilitate delivery of this information, approved community organizations can send their flyers home to families digitally through Peachjar.

To request flyer approval, follow the steps below. Paper flyers from outside organizations will no longer be distributed.

● Visit www.peachjar.com
● Register as a Program Provider (account type)
● Upload your flyer for approval

Your flyer will be automatically submitted to the district office for approval. Once approved, your flyer will be emailed to parents and posted on each school’s web flyerboard for your selected duration of time. Peachjar charges a fee for this service that is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school.
