Good morning New America families! Due to extremely low temperatures and a wind chill below zero, NAS-NM will be operating on a 2 hour delay today with classes beginning at 10:20. Students will still be testing today during Advisory, so we encourage you to bundle up and be there when school starts. We are aiming for 100% participation on testing and will be offering incentives to the classes who reach their goal!
Hello, students and Families of NAS-NM. Due to forecasted extremely low temperatures and possible icy conditions, NAS-NM will be on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, January 10, 2025. Tomorrow is a remote student SEL day, and all students have already been given a task in their Advisory classes this week that needs to be completed at home to receive credit. School offices will open at 10:00 am for business as usual, if any students need assistance with the work assigned for tomorrow, or any other assignment. Please stay warm during this cold snap!
NAS Campus will be open from 9am-2pm for Winter Break support on:
December 23rd, 24th, 30th and January 2nd. Students can come in for additional support on these days and work towards Semester credit if it was not earned!
All students will receive new schedules for Spring semester. Schedules can be picked up January 6th and 7th. Classes resume January 8th! Have a safe and wonderful Winter Break. We will see you in January!
NAS Families! It is just about time for our holiday gift giving celebration! Please Join us for a Toy/Gift Giveaway event at the front of our campus for our students and famIlies. We will be here today from 4-7pm. We hope to see you soon!
Families, just a reminder that our school day begins at noon tomorrow. Students will dismiss at 4pm for the Toy Drive which will run from 4-7:30 and the Winter Formal from 7:00-10:00. We hope to see you there!

Let's join together for a day of giving, celebrating, and being thankful. Students, Staff, and Families are encouraged to bring in any of the non-perishable items listed on the flyer to help NAS families who may be in need this Thanksgiving season. All donations need to be collected by 11/21/24. Families can drop donations off in the office or can send them with their student to drop off with their advisors. Advisory classes will be competing to see who can bring in the most donations.
If you are in need of a Thanksgiving box, please stop by the office or contact your student's advisor to let them know.
School has been cancelled today due to inclement weather. Stay safe and warm!

“Annual Title I Meeting
September 11, 2024
We sincerely ask that all parents and students attend our Annual Title I meeting as part of our Fall Family Night. The New America School-New Mexico currently receives almost $105,000 to be utilized for student instruction through the Title I program. This is a very important meeting that helps drive our instructional program for the school. During the course of this meeting, the topics we will be covering are:
· Parent notifications-what are they? Why are they important?
· What is Title I and how does our school qualify for Title I?
· What kind of services does Title I offer to schools and how does our school use those funds?
Family Engagement
What can Title I Family Engagement funds be used for?
Our Family Engagement budget comes from the 1% set aside of the District Title I allocation
$(Title I Family Engagement Budget for 2024-2025)
Ways parents/guardians can be involved at our school
Ways parents/guardians can be involved with the APS Title I Department
Questions? If you have questions in the future, please call, email or drop us a note.
Come learn more about Title I, how it impacts our learning environment, and how you can be involved in helping drive the instructional program of the school! You are your student’s first advocate-come be part of our Title I team! For more information, please contact Ms. Mathis at 222-4360, or by email at lmathis@newamericaschoolnm.org.”

Hello, NASNM students and families! This Thursday we will be practicing a school evacuation drill at 3 pm as required by state law. We will send out a call and text with instructions as we begin the drill that day, just as if it were an actual emergency evacuation. This is only a drill to ensure school safety practices are working and to see if improvements need to be made. If you have any questions, please contact Greg Gutierrez at 505-222-4360.
Thank you for helping us keep students safe!
Starting this week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there will be a hot burrito bar in the school cafeteria from 8:00 am until 8:30 am. Come on in and eat a great breakfast and design the burrito that you want. NASNM students eat free, all family members and staff are $5.00.
A great way to start the day!
