LCPS to return to in-person classes Friday

Administrators at Las Cruces Public Schools monitored weather conditions Thursday and made the decision to return all classes to in-person Friday. Students and staff were directed to shift all instruction online for Thursday following adverse weather conditions.  

After consulting with the National Weather Service office in Santa Teresa, Friday morning weather is expected to be cold but dry. Busses will run on regular schedules, but students are reminded to dress warmly, as morning temperatures will be below freezing. Schools will have cafeterias, gyms and classrooms open for students as they arrive.  

Athletic events that were impacted because of Thursday’s weather have been rescheduled as follows:  

• Middle school boys’ basketball games scheduled for Thursday will be played Monday, Feb. 7 

• Thursday’s Las Cruces/Centennial wrestling dual has been rescheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. at Las Cruces High School 
• Organ Mountain boys' and girls' basketball games scheduled for Friday will be held Saturday night at 4, 5:30 and 7 p.m. at Gadsden (boys) and Organ Mountain (girls)
