🎉 A Day to Remember | Un Día para Recordar 🎉

Today our middle school students had the special honor of welcoming the Santa Fe Fiesta Court! 👑💃 They shared beautiful traditional dances and spoke about the meaning behind our treasured Fiestas de Santa Fe. Students had a great time learning about the history, culture, and pride that these traditions represent.

Hoy, nuestros estudiantes de la escuela secundaria recibieron con mucho entusiasmo a la Corte de la Fiesta de Santa Fe. 👑💃 Nos deleitaron con bailes tradicionales y compartieron el significado de nuestras queridas Fiestas de Santa Fe. ¡Nuestros estudiantes disfrutaron aprendiendo sobre esta hermosa tradición llena de historia, cultura y orgullo!

¡Gracias a la Corte de la Fiesta por inspirar a nuestras futuras generaciones!
Thank you to the Fiesta Court for inspiring our future leaders!

The 2025–2026 school year gifted education nomination window is open from 8/25/25 through 9/19/25.

All 2nd grade students will take the CogAT screener, and results will be combined with reading and math scores to select nominees. Students in grades K–1 and 3+ who score in the top levels of achievement tests will be automatically nominated.

https://forms.gle/S5h68Ga2vX9XBo3p8

Spanish-Language Family Nomination
https://forms.gle/wfKLyWhPUyLea6z48

💡 Families are encouraged to nominate students who show exceptional strengths—such as quick learning, deep knowledge, strong interest or motivation, or creativity—that may not show up clearly on standardized tests.

📣 ¡Ya está abierta la ventana de nominación para el programa de educación para estudiantes dotados!
🗓️ 25 de agosto – 19 de septiembre de 2025

La ventana de nominación para el año escolar 2025–2026 está abierta del 25 de agosto al 19 de septiembre de 2025.

Todos los estudiantes de 2.º grado tomarán la evaluación CogAT, y los resultados se combinarán con las calificaciones de lectura y matemáticas para seleccionar a los nominados. Los estudiantes de Kínder a 1.º y de 3.º en adelante que obtengan los niveles más altos en pruebas de rendimiento serán nominados automáticamente.

💡 Invitamos a las familias a nominar a estudiantes que demuestren fortalezas excepcionales, como aprendizaje rápido, conocimiento profundo, gran interés o motivación, o creatividad, que tal vez no se reflejen en las pruebas estandarizadas.
