Principals report modest attendance gains and new student programs at Tularosa schools
Summary
At the school board meeting, principals reported increased attendance to about 92–93% and outlined seasonal events, an entrepreneurship project with $100 seed grants for student teams, and cultural programming including a mariachi visit and Native American language activities.
Principals at TULAROSA MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS told the board during the principal-reports portion of the meeting that student engagement remains strong and attendance is up compared with last year.
The principal reporting on elementary and middle grades said, "We're at 92 93.2, but still up from last year," and noted house-system activities, classroom parties, and a Winter Wonderland event. That speaker also credited Miss Eldridge at TMS for decorating the stage and highlighted an attendance carnival scheduled for Friday.
Miss Brown, speaking during the principal reports, said middle-of-year testing is wrapping up and previewed upcoming activities: Polar Express classroom showings, interviews to select junior house leaders, and a spring entrepreneurship program that will provide student teams $100 to build and market lemonade stands. "They get $100 to create their lemonade stand to create their product, market it," Miss Brown said, encouraging community support for the project.
The high-school principal reported that short-cycle assessments and PSAT/SAT preparation are underway, that CTE programs are active, and that a guest presenter worked with Native American language classes. The speaker also recognized Megan Brann for earning a national board teaching license and recapped recent athletics scores, noting the boys team at 4–1 and the girls team at 2–4.
Why it matters: The updates signal steady operational progress across buildings and identify near-term activities that affect families and community engagement. The district said it will present more detailed student-achievement charts next month.
