VMS is taking a bite out of the Big Apple!

We are so excited about our VMS New York City trip next summer! We’re hosting another information session for families who missed the first one, and you’re invited to join us.

Meeting Details:

• Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2026

• Time: 4:30 PM – 5:00 PM

• Location: VMS Library

Please be sure to RSVP online for this information session.

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

During the information session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student

• What we’ll see and do on our trip

• Everything included in this experience

• How your child can earn academic credit

• How we’re keeping the trip safe and affordable

• How to enroll before the trip fills up during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

There are limited spots available, so we encourage you to attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity and how your student can join the trip!

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.
