😌 The first weeks of school can bring excitement, nerves, and new challenges. Students feel more at ease when we listen, support, and remind them they’re not alone. 💬 Early connection builds confidence, friendships, and a stronger start. #NMPED #BackToSchoolNM #StartStrongNM #FreshStartNM

🥗 A healthy meal to start the day fuels focus, energy, and learning. Thanks to New Mexico’s Healthy Universal School Meals program, every K–12 student eats for free—over 56 million meals served last year! #BackToSchoolNM #EveryDayCountsNM #BeHereNM #FuelForSuccess

📱💤 Screens help us learn, but too much—especially before bed—hurts sleep, focus, and grades. Blue light disrupts rest, and multitasking makes it harder to stay organized. 🚫 Less screen time = better sleep, stronger focus, and a smoother school year! #BeHereNM #EveryDayCountsNM

📚🕒 Success in school goes beyond the final bell. Setting aside time and space for study builds strong habits and keeps learning fresh. 🏫 Need a change of scenery? Try libraries, community centers, cafés, or school tutoring labs. #NMPED #BackToSchoolNM #BeHereNM #StartStrongNM #EveryDayCountsNM

Another school year begins! To our phenomenal teachers: thank you for your patience, creativity, and commitment to educating our children. Wishing all students and staff a wonderful year!

🌙😴 Sleep sets the tone for learning. Help your child wind down with quiet routines—like reflection or planning—to ease stress and support restful nights. A well-rested student is ready to learn and stay engaged! #BeHereNM #StartStrongNM #BackToSchoolNM #FamiliesForAttendance

🎒✨A new school year brings big possibilities—start with a positive day! As you help your child adjust to routines, take time to build their confidence too. #NMPED #BeHereNM #BackToSchoolNM #EveryDayCountsNM #StartStrongNM #FamiliesForAttendance
