TWISTER NEWS
April 2023
Happy Spring! The weather is getting warmer and flowers are beginning to bloom. We have lots of things happening at Loma Heights. Please read through our Twister News and let staff know if you have any questions.
NEW PICK UP PROCEDURE
Loma Heights has been in communication with the City of Las Cruces about the construction happening on Madrid. With the construction causing Madrid to reduce to two lanes only, it has caused traffic issues during after-school pick-up. In putting safety first we will be revising our pick-up route starting on Monday 4/3/23 until the construction is complete.
ALL pickup traffic will enter through the first entrance (where the playground is). We will have staff guiding people in through the pick-up area. Cars will then snake around, past the cafeteria and stop at the cross walk. Then another staff member will direct them into the main entrance. To make this effective we will have two lanes of traffic coming into the first entrance by the playground. Please see the diagram below.
If you are picking up your child early, before 2:00 pm, we are asking that you please park in the parking lot and walk up to check out your child. If you have any questions, feel free to call the front office.
Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility.

NM-MSSA/NM-ASR TESTING
Loma Heights parents,
State Assessments (NM-MSSA/NM-ASR) for grades 3-5 will begin on Monday April 3, 2023 and are scheduled to go through April 19, 2023. It is imperative that the children arrive to school on time (Last bell rings at 7:55 am) so we can begin promptly with testing. If the students are late, they will have to be a part of the make up sessions in which it adds more days to the testing schedule. We kindly ask that the students are prepared when they arrive to school. Students should be well rested and may bring snacks if you chose to send some with your child. If appointments are to be made, we ask that you please schedule those around the testing dates.
