From Las Cruces Public Schools

Register your child for the 2026-2027 school year 

Summer is coming to an end, and families are encouraged to complete registration for the 2026-2027 school year at Las Cruces Public Schools. Online registration opened in March and remains open. Parents and guardians who have not completed the process are encouraged to register this week to help ensure a smooth start to the school year.

Completing online registration early provides several benefits, including:

·       Earlier assignment of transportation routes

·       Access to your child’s previous year’s report card

·       Updated family contact information to ensure you receive important news and alerts

Required documents for online registration:

·       Child’s Birth Certificate (or passport/visa or state-certified document) No photocopies

·       Parent/Guardian identification

·       Proof of residence (tax bill, utility bill, or renter’s lease agreement)

·       Current immunization records

Parents and guardians must complete the enrollment process for their child annually. Families with students new to the district must create a ParentVUE account. Parents will complete the online registration via ParentVUE for a new student’s initial enrollment. The required documents must also be submitted to finalize enrollment, including the student’s current immunization record.

ParentVUE is a secure, mobile-friendly portal that allows parents to view grades, attendance, assignments, and class schedules.

To access ParentVUE, visit the Las Cruces Public Schools website at lcps.net and select the ParentVUE link. Step-by-step instructions, helpful resources, and video tutorials are available to guide families through account creation and registration.

Families who already have a ParentVUE account and receive information from their child’s school do not need to create a new account. If you need have any questions about creating a ParentVUE account, email ioteam@lcps.net or call 575-525-7121.

Beginning this school year, parents can also use the new Beacon Connect Family App for real-time bus updates, including bus location, boarding notifications, and alerts for delays or emergencies. Parents must complete their child’s online registration before downloading the app. Search “BC Family” in your mobile device’s app store to download.

LCPS meet & greets and open houses

Las Cruces Public Schools is preparing to welcome students back to school for the 2026-2027 school year. As campuses prepare for another wonderful year, students and their families are invited to attend their school’s Meet & Greet and Open House events before classes begin.

Each school at LCPS will each host a Meet & Greet, followed by an Open House on a later date.

The Meet & Greet for elementary and middle schools will give students and their families an opportunity to meet teachers, explore classrooms, and receive class schedules, and learn more about the upcoming school year.

High school Meet and Greets are designed to help students prepare for the first day of school by allowing them to pick up class schedules in advance. In addition to its Meet & Greet and Open House, Centennial High School will also host a ninth-grade orientation.

Open House events will be held at each school once the semester has begun. These events give parents and guardians the opportunity to meet with teachers, learn about classroom expectations, and receive information about their child's academic progress. Because dates and times vary by campus, families should review the schedule carefully.

Transition Day for kindergarten, sixth-grade, and ninth-grade students is Friday, July 24. The first day back to school for all other grade levels is Monday, July 27, 2026.

Las Cruces Public Schools looks forward to welcoming students and families back for another successful school year.
