Welcome to Ramirez Thomas Elementary School!
COVID ANNOUNCEMENT - Please Read:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Santa Fe Public Schools will be conducting voluntary randomized COVID-19 surveillance testing of unvaccinated students. Surveillance testing is important because it can identify COVID-19 cases involving students that might otherwise go undetected and spread.
For those students currently attending school in person and/or participating in athletic or activity programs, a random sample of students will be selected each week.
- Student testing is completely VOLUNTARY
- NO cost to those who participate
- If your child is selected for testing, the school nursing staff will contact you with more details during that testing window
- There are two methods of test collection available: Curative nasal swab (not the more invasive deep nasal swab) and Vault saliva collection
- You may remove your child's name from the participation list at any time
Please complete this form ONLY if you are choosing to opt your child IN to the pool of students that may be selected for testing.
Please complete one form per child in the Santa Fe Public Schools.
If you have questions/concerns, please contact your school nurse or email abenia@sfps.k12.nm.us for more information.

Estimados padres y tutores:
Las Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe llevará a cabo pruebas de monitoreo aleatorias y voluntarias de COVID-19 para los estudiantes no vacunados. Las pruebas de monitoreo son importantes porque pueden identificar casos de COVID-19 que afectan a estudiantes, los cuales de otra manera podrían pasar desapercibidos y propagarse.
Para aquellos estudiantes que actualmente asisten a clases en persona y/o participan en programas deportivos o de actividades escolares, se seleccionará una muestra aleatoria de estudiantes cada semana.
- Las pruebas de los estudiantes son completamente VOLUNTARIAS
- SIN costo para los que participan
- Si su hijo es seleccionado para la prueba, el personal de enfermería de la escuela se comunicará con usted para darle más información durante ese período de prueba
- Hay dos métodos disponibles para hacerse las pruebas: hisopos nasales de Curative (no los hisopos nasales profundos más invasivos) y recolección de saliva de Vault
- Puede eliminar el nombre de su hijo de la lista de participación en cualquier momento
Complete este formulario SOLAMENTE si elige incluir a su hijo en el grupo de estudiantes que pueden ser seleccionados para las pruebas.
Por favor, complete un formulario por cada estudiante que tenga en las escuelas públicas de Santa Fe.
Si tiene preguntas o inquietudes, comuníquese con el personal de enfermería de su escuela o envie correo a abenia@sfps.k12.nm.us para obtener más información.
In order to support quality educational practices and promote student success, we have put together a staff of highly qualified educators committed to the initiatives set forth in our school improvement plan. These initiatives include: additional professional development for staff; a highly trained and certified instructional coach; focused assessments to evaluate student academic growth and effective interventions; researched-based math, writing and language arts programs; and a welcoming staff who can assist parents and families to participate more actively in the school community and in their child’s academic success.
Our students have the opportunity to join programs such as Student Council, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Folklórico Dancers, guitar and violin, girls’ and boys’ basketball, and cheer.
Educating the future leaders of the world!
