Good afternoon BCS Families, We want to hear from you! Our district is asking families to fill out a survey to share your thoughts on how our schools are doing. Your answers will be anonymous and will help us improve the learning experiences for all students. If you have kids in more than one school, you can take the survey again using the same link. The survey is available in both English and Spanish. Survey link: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/newmexico/family

La Merced Families
Just a few reminders to end the week...
10/18 - Pink Out Day! Wear as much pink as you can.
Don't forget to bring in your $1 for popcorn tomorrow. We will return to popcorn pre-sale next week.

We are excited to announce that our school will once again be selling popcorn and pickles this school year! The funds will be used to provide rewards for our PBIS program, various student activities held throughout the school year, and Student Council sponsored events. The funds will also be used to provide meals for our teachers and staff during Parent/Teacher Conferences and to purchase tokens of appreciation for our teachers and school staff.
We appreciate your support!

Good afternoon,
To follow-up on our previous message. The only information that we have is that there are postings on social media saying that there will be shootings at each one of our sites. We have not found any proof that these threats are true. We are working with Belen PD. They will have an officer posted at each school site tomorrow. Again, we have no information other than what I have shared.


Good afternoon,
There has been a rash of messages on social media regarding the possibility of a school shooting happening tomorrow at all BCS sites including one that is no longer in existence. I want to assure you that we take all such reports seriously no matter how farfetched they may seem. In working with Belen PD, we have found no evidence to substantiate these claims. We will continue to remain on alert. If you become aware of any new information please share with Belen PD.


Good afternoon, La Merced Families. Our staff is aware of rumors surrounding La Merced Elementary. We take threats and safety very seriously. After investigating we believe no cause for concern exists.. Staff will follow up throughout the night with this incident. If anything is seen on social media or mentioned, please forward the information to law enforcement and LME administration ASAP. Thank you.

Good afternoon LME families,
Our September attendance competition is live. Any students without absences in the month of September will receive a popcorn prize.


Good afternoon La Merced families. A physical altercation between two students in the courtyard led to a verbal threat to shoot up the school. Law enforcement was notified. After further investigation by law enforcement no weapons or immediate threat was found. All issues were resolved and all students remained safe.
