Download the new LCPS app today!
Las Cruces School District has launched a new mobile app that helps students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus, right from their phones. We know that families are using smartphones as a primary means to communicate. That’s why we’ve created an app that is custom-built for mobile. On the app, you can find documents, contact information for staff, and event information. You can download the app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Three Main Benefits:
1) Know what’s going on at school. Ex: Find real-time updates from the website’s live feed about stories happening inside the classroom or in the art studio.
2) Connect with teachers and administrators. Ex: Learn about parent-teacher conferences, access staff contact information, and quickly find out about district news.
3) Stay up-to-date with school information. Ex: Receive updates about events occurring on campus, documents, required forms, and even emergency notifications.
