NMPED Re-entry Guide
WE FACE A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS that has fundamentally changed our lives and our communities in unprecedented ways. For many New Mexican students, educators, and families, the start of the 2020–2021 school year is marked by profound uncertainty and a sense of loss brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the fear and hardship the virus has caused, New Mexicans from all walks of life and all areas of the state have come together in amazing ways and through noteworthy sacrifce to contain the spread of the virus in our state to an incredible degree. This collective effort has “fattened the curve” to initiate the process of reentering our school buildings. For more information please visit the following PDF link below.
