Welcome to Tucumcari Public Schools
COVID-19 Response Toolkit for New Mexico's Public Elementary Schools
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please make sure that your child's school has your updated contact information. Per guidance from both NMPED and NMDOH, we are required to investigate to see who has had " close contact" with a staff member or student who tests positive for COVID-19. You will get a phone call from Administration if your child has had close contact with a positive case. This phone call can come after hours or on a weekend. If you do not get a phone call, your child is not in "close contact" and therefore is safe to go to school at your discretion. A text and/or email will be sent out to inform all parents and staff of the situation. If you are not currently participating in our text/email notification system, we strongly encourage you to sign up. We will also post a copy of the notification on our school webpage as well as our school Facebook. Please know that our staff is continuously working hard to keep our students safe.
Thank you,
Aaron McKinney
Superintendent
Tucumcari Elementary School (PreK - 5th grade) will be starting The Hybrid Model on Monday, October 5th. Your child’s teacher will be contacting you soon with more information. Also, please be advised that in accordance with NM Department of Health and NM PED, all students and staff must wear a face mask while at school, during school sponsored activities, and on school transportation.
Students, Parents, Teachers,
Tucumcari Public Schools has counselors on staff, and students can see School Based Health Clinic Counselors, and we are contracting with Mesa Counseling and Professional Counseling Services to provide additional counseling opportunities. Also, Mental Health Resources and Sabrina Gaskill may be able to provide services to you. If you need counseling services, please contact the Principal of the school.
Thank you,

RE-ENTRY INFORMATION
9/4/2020 Re-Entry Update
As many may know by now, Quay County is considered a high-risk area for COVID-19. Therefore, Tucumcari Public Schools will not proceed to the next step of our reentry plan. We will continue to proceed in the same manner that we started the 20-21 school year. We will inform the community when we are able to move forward.

If your cell number is on file with the district but you're not receiving text messages, then do the following:
Text Y to 67587
This allows you to "opt in" to School Messenger. (This is not the same thing as the Remind App which some teachers and the high school uses).
