📅 Monday, December 1st is the 80th day of the 2025–2026 school year and an important 🚌 student bus-ridership count day for PVSD. This count helps determine our transportation funding from the New Mexico PED.

To maximize funding, we encourage all students to ride the bus to and from school on Dec. 1st 🚍. School buses are the safest way to travel 🛡️.

Please remember: All Pre-K–12 students must use their Z Pass cards 💳 for safety and tracking.

Thank you for your support! 🙌 Let’s boost ridership on December 1st! 🟩🚌

Dear Pojoaque Sixth Grade Academy and Pojoaque Valley Middle School Families,

We want to inform you that there will be a police presence on our campus today for safety and security purposes. This precaution follows reports of a male escapee who fled on foot in the area yesterday. Please know that there is no direct threat to our schools, and this measure is being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the continued safety of our students and staff.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Estimadas familias de la Academia de Sexto Grado de Pojoaque y de la Middle School del Valle de Pojoaque:

Queremos informarles que hoy habrá presencia policial en nuestro campus por motivos de seguridad y protección. Esta medida preventiva se debe a reportes de un hombre que escapó y huyó a pie en el área ayer. Queremos asegurarles que no existe una amenaza directa para nuestras escuelas, y que esta acción se toma por precaución, con el fin de garantizar la seguridad continua de nuestros estudiantes y personal.

Gracias por su comprensión y apoyo.
