Good Morning La Merced Families! Just a reminder that there is NO school on Monday, October 12th for Fall Break! This is for ALL students, both remote and Hybrid.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Our very own Gil Sanchez Elementary School has received one of the most distinguished honors a school can attain.
On Thursday, September 24, 2020, at 11:00 am., Gil Sanchez Elementary School was officially announced as a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School.
It is amazing to see that Gil Sanchez will be nationally recognized for all their efforts and success.
Congratulations to Principal Carla Martinez, staff, students, families, and all those who have contributed to the success of this school.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year there are many uncertainties. Belen Consolidated Schools is working on preparing for students to re-enter school in the fall. The Public Education Department is working with a task force to provide guidance. The link to access the 2020-2021 Student Calendar that was approved by the School Board is: https://go.aws/37m3V2p. We are anticipating that we will start school as scheduled on August 18th. We are hopeful that it will be in-person with all our students but are preparing for variations that may need to take place do to COVID-19 CDC guidelines. We recognize that students are our foundation and will make decisions that positively impact their learning and well-being.
Belen Middle School Registration Form can be found in the "Documents" section of the La Merced Website: Please return the completed form to BMS between 9:00 am-3:00 pm Monday-Thursday. Thank you!
