Early last spring, Reese Gonzalez and a group of her classmates at East Central High School started planning their junior prom. They picked out the decorations and came up with ideas for how the venue would be set up.
Some of them bought dresses or rented tuxedos, excited about a quintessential aspect of the American high school experience. Then COVID-19 arrived and swept away most of that experience, shutting down campuses and converting graduations and other end-of-year rituals into lackluster virtual events.
Las Cruces – Las Cruces Public Schools will be collaborating with the New Mexico Department of Health and the New Mexico Office of Emergency Management to host a virtual COVID-19 parent forum for LCPS families on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The virtual forum will cover topics such as what to do during infectious periods for symptomatic and asymptomatic confirmed cases, general quarantine protocol, current infection rates for Doña Ana County, information about COVID-19 testing, registration for COVID-19 vaccinations, and school safety protocol when a case is confirmed at any school site.
Presenters will include:
Beatriz Vela, SW Regional Director Nursing Services
