Dear PRES Families,
Due to a current shortage of bus drivers, the district is making temporary adjustments to transportation services beginning Monday, March 23.
What to expect:
Some routes will shift to “super stops” (centralized pick-up/drop-off locations)
Possible changes to bus routes and schedules
Potential delays in pickup and drop-off times
Some routes may be combined or adjusted
Important reminders:
Please have students at their assigned stop at least 10 minutes early
Review your child’s updated bus stop location and time carefully
Additional Updates:
Some buses (like Bus 1, 8, and 15) have specific route and location changes
The district is actively hiring bus drivers to return to normal routes as soon as possible
We understand these changes may be an inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work to continue safe and reliable transportation for our students.
Thank you for your continued support!

Throughout the discussion and planning process, we received valuable feedback from our community. Many community members expressed strong support for the idea of a gray field, and we truly appreciate the passion and engagement that went into those conversations.
Ultimately, the Board felt it was important to remain consistent with the colors that represent our district. Throughout the past two years, our district, Board of Education, and community worked hard to establish Kelly Green and White as our official school colors, with gray and black serving as accent colors.
We are grateful for the thoughtful input and pride our community continues to show for our schools. Your voices matter, and your engagement helps shape the decisions that move our district forward.

Message from the NMAA, Zac Stevenson regarding the seeding for our Girls Basketball team:
"We regret to announce an error was discovered in the seeding and selection process of the Girls Class 4A Bracket for the 2026 Nusenda Credit Union State Basketball Championships. The comparison process between St. Pius X High School, Espanola Valley High School, and Shiprock High School resulted in the misplacement of teams seeded 11-15. Upon a thorough review, the NMAA has corrected the bracket and the new 11-15 seeds are as follows: Shiprock (11), St. Pius X (12), Grants (13), Espanola Valley (14), and Pojoaque Valley (15). The new bracket is now available and links to tickets will follow soon.
We know many of you have spent time preparing and apologize for the change, but we wanted to get the correct information to you as soon as we could today."
Elkettes will now be playing against Gallup in Gallup on Friday, March 6th, at 7:00 pm.
