This year, we are placing a strong focus on promoting good attendance at our school. Right now, our chronic absenteeism rate is 55%. This means that approximately 45% of our students are missing a significant amount of instructional time.

Please remember that every time a student is absent, arrives late, or leaves school early, they are missing valuable instructional time and learning opportunities .

Every school day matters! We encourage families to make regular attendance a priority and to help students arrive at school on time each day.

Fall Pictures is September 1, 2026

Be Here Attendance Day is back! Our goal is simple but powerful: 100% ATTENDANCE across all our schools.

Every student, every day makes a difference, but on these special days, we want to see every single seat filled! Let’s show our community what we can achieve when we all show up ready to learn.

Mark your calendars for our upcoming 2026-2027 Be Here days:

Los Lunas Schools is proud to announce that all regular season middle school and high school athletic events will be free of charge for all students, families, fans/visiting fans, and community members throughout the 2026–2027 school year.

This initiative was made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Opioid Remediation Collaboration and Los Lunas Schools. The Los Lunas Schools Board of Education approved the MOU on July 21, 2026. The joint public health collaborative involves Los Lunas Schools, Valencia County, and the Village of Los Lunas.

“On behalf of Los Lunas Schools, I would like to thank our Board of Education and the Opioid Remediation Collaboration for approving the MOU,” says Susan D. Chavez, the Los Lunas Schools Superintendent. “Free admission for our students, families, community members, and visitors helps remove financial barriers, strengthens community connections, and creates opportunities for everyone to experience the pride and spirit of Los Lunas Schools. We are truly grateful for your commitment to our district and community.”

While admission is free, attendees will participate in a quick and simple check-in process at venue entrances:

1. Scan at the Gate: Upon arrival at any Los Lunas Schools athletic facility, fans will scan a displayed QR code using their mobile device.
2. Complete a Quick Form: The QR code links to a Google Form asking for simple details, including how many people are in your party and if the attendees are adults or children. Once submitted, fans can head straight in to enjoy the event.

Please note that free admission applies only to regular season athletic events. Fans will have to purchase tickets to any post-season District games and State Championship Tournaments through GoFan website.

Los Lunas Schools invites everyone in our community to pack the stands and support our teams all year long.
