The governor’s office and the NM Public Education Department (PED) announced last month that in order for NM schools to participate in athletics, the school must offer a “hybrid” learning platform rather than just remote learning. Schools would need to work out a hybrid learning plan that works for their school and students and have that plan approved by NM PED. McCurdy Charter School Board voted last fall to remain in remote learning until the end of this school year.
We request that the board vote to enter into a hybrid model based on the new data and mandates from PED. Parents would NOT be forced to send their children to school if they did not feel that their child needed to be on campus. However, students who need support could access through a hybrid school model AND all students would have access to extracurricular athletic programs regardless of whether they attended McCurdy remotely or in a hybrid model. Please sign to request that the McCurdy school board vote to approve a hybrid plan and allow at risk students to receive in person academic support and athletes to compete in sports this year.

As a former teacher and coach at MCS I used sports as a way to recruit students into something they might not try at a big school. It gave them something safe to try while allowed me to have them more focused in the classroom since I would do a weekly grade check. It was beneficial for educational and extracurricular activities.
I am a student at LAHS we are doing a form of hybrid and we call it “plus time” where the students can go in if they need the help we spilt it up between two cohorts and the “green cohort” goes on monday and Tuesday and the “gold cohort” goes on thursday friday we still have online school in the mornings. The hybrid is only 2 hours long our A days on monday and our B days on Tuesday. I thought this information would help your school have an idea on how you could do it !
Let us play. As students we use sports as a coping mechanism, being that we are from The Espanola Valley it keeps us out of trouble! LET US PLAY
Our McCurdy students Athlete’s deserve to play they thrive in education when they played sports. It keeps our kids healthy physically, mentally and pushes them to strive our students to do their best in their academics.
I don’t know why our governor and public education department decided to tie sports to hybrid learning but the school board needs to find a way to offer support to all their students, athletes included.

Along with academic strength, participation in leadership activities such as athletics are key when striving towards success! Please let us play!

I am extremely concerned for our student's mental well-being and wish this was considered a little more. Sports is one amazing way to give our athletes a little bit of normalcy back and a way to destress. We have already lost students who have dropped out or moved districts. Many are considering leaving to play sports elsewhere. We are losing what was once our beloved McCurdy family and community. Sports will help rebuild this and give our students back some motivation. Many of our students really could benefit from the additional assistance that could be provided with hybrid learning. Having some additional support in these last few months could make a huge difference to so many!
