Leadership
A message for the New Year
I am reaching out to seek your ideas about how to plan for the future and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
Your comments about these pressing issues will be used in updating our LAPS strategic plan and school-level DASH Plans. In addition, your thoughts will help with the ongoing process of making adjustments in our schools, because when you’re in the people business, re-thinking and making modifications is essential.
Here’s a brief rundown of five education issues in 2020 well worth careful consideration in Los Alamos:
- Keeping students and staff safe
- Addressing the growing number of students in Los Alamos
- Supporting healthy students, healthy staff, and healthy schools
- Maximizing opportunities from the State of New Mexico
- Appropriate use of educational technology
Since LAPS is a continuous improvement school district, we identify opportunities and consider potential challenges. By nature, we are planners. We set goals and then plan lessons and targeted activities. We plan for the day, semester, year, and beyond. We evaluate progress and seek feedback.

Thank you!
