Superintendent of Schools

Happy February, to our beautiful Pojoaque Valley community!

We are celebrating Black History, Heart Health, Cancer Prevention, and Library Lover’s Month.

It’s also the month where we honor all those we care about and that includes our staff, students and caregivers here at PVSD!


We have exciting news to share, including the 2025 Leadership in Literacy Award from the Southwest Chapter of the International Dyslexia Association presented to our awesome elementary teachers at Pablo Roybal Elementary School!

We are also eager to roll out our all-new Northern New Mexico-style cafeteria menu featuring regional foods and flavors to support our student’s identity and appeal to their palates!

Lastly, we were grateful to send a group of students to the Roundhouse for Native American Day at the Legislature!


We continue to reach out to you, the PVSD community, to learn what you need from us, as we are privileged to serve you in leadership. In the coming weeks, you will be receiving 5 surveys that will help us ensure your voice is heard in how we make decisions:

  • Climate and Culture (Are you welcomed at our schools?  How can we improve?)
  • Career Technical Education (What skilled trades do you want to see at  our schools?)
  • Budget & Finance (Are our fiscal priorities matching your wants and needs?)
  • Cafeteria & Menu (How can we improve our food service and spaces?)
  • Bullying & Prevention (Does your child feel emotionally and physically safe?)

Please complete these surveys so we can continue to improve and achieve our goal of being the Best Public School in the District!


As we reflect on the scarcity of the winter season, we also look with hope to longer days and warmer weather. With Valentine’s Day and expressions of love all around us, please know how much we appreciate each of you and are glad you are sharing the educational journey with us.  As we work to holistically care for the students of our district, we are reminded of the words of Maya Angelou, “To let gratitude be the pillow on which you kneel”.  

 

Wishing you a safe and peaceful February!
