Family Engagement & Parent Resource Library

The Family Engagement Room and Parent Resource Library are located in portable J2. This room is available for all students and parents.

If a student is in need of assistance with school supplies, clothing, coats, toiletries, or food please contact our Family Liaison, Katy Slota. She can be reached at (505) 255-8691ex. 20560.

We have a mobile food pantry on the first Friday of every month at 3:30 in the drop-off/pick-up loop. If you and your family are in need of food assistance, please contact Katy or come to the mobile pantry. We will place the boxes of food in your vehicle for you. Everyone in the community is welcome.
