Showcasing the Best in Student Creativity

Tomorrow’s Leaders Enriched by Quality Education

Alma d’Arte Charter High School is proud to bring passionate and committed teachers to work with our students. We seek out to discover the potential of each student and let them harness their skills in the framework of group learning and individual discovery.

Our small class sizes lets us tailor our lessons more directly around the needs of our students and lets us have more time to explore topics that expand from the books to real-world application. Critical thinking about what they learn, and how they themselves learn, is a crucial part of the interplay between our students and their ultimate success.

Back-To-School Safety Tips for Motorists and Students.Back-to-School Safety Tips for Motorists, Students

The new academic year is nearly upon us so the Las Cruces Police Department reminds motorists to drive with caution, particularly when traveling through school zones and near bus stops.

Basic back-to-school safety tips for motorists:
• Obey all traffic laws and speed limits, especially the 15 MPH limit in school zones.
• Do not pass other vehicles in school zones or at crosswalks.
• Do not change lanes in school zones.
• Do not make U-Turns in school zones.
• Do not text or otherwise use a cell phone unless it is completely hands-free.
• Stop for school buses that are loading or unloading children.
• Watch for and obey signals from school crossing guards.
• Be alert and watch for children near schools, bus stops and in school parking lots.
• Unless licensed to do so, do not park in handicap spaces to drop off or pick up children.
• Do not use curbside lanes (in front of school buildings) that are designated for emergency vehicles only.

LCPD offers these safety tips for students:
• Parents of younger students who ride a school bus should consider escorting their children to and from their scheduled bus stop.
• Children should not stand or play in the roadway while waiting for, or leaving, a school bus.
• Students who ride the bus should follow all safety rules and avoid distracting the driver.
• Students who walk should do so in pairs, or groups, and follow safety rules for pedestrians.
• Cross streets only at crosswalks and follow the directions given by school crossing guards.
• Students who ride a bike should wear a helmet and follow all safety rules for bicyclists.
• Walk – don’t ride – a bicycle across streets and only in designated crosswalks.
• Teenage students who drive to school should avoid speeding and minimize distractions from cell phone usage, eating, loud music or disruptive passengers.
• Never overload a vehicle. Every passenger must use a safety belt.
• Always act as a positive role model for younger siblings and fellow students. Avoid horseplay on sidewalks, while riding a bus or bicycle, and while traveling in a vehicle. … See MoreSee Less
