LAPS News:

Los Alamos Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kurt Steinhaus sent the following letter to LAPS staff following the school shooting Wednesday afternoon in which some 17 people were killed and another 14 injured in Florida.

As many of us start thinking about the upcoming long weekend, it is likely that many are also thinking about what happened yesterday in Parkland, Florida. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the students, staff, and families impacted by this horrific school shooting.

In light of the situation, let’s take extra time today to check in with each other, emotionally and physically. Other actions for today include being fully aware of your surroundings, reviewing the newly revised school safety plan, and reminding each other to say something if you see something. It is a real challenge to stay vigilant while celebrating the many wonderful things that happen every day and every hour in the Los Alamos Public Schools.

If anyone needs assistance, the LAPS District Office will be open tomorrow and we will work to find help, as needed.
