Socorro Consolidated Schools

Dear SMS families - We request that you provide each of your Middle School students with a backpack and a clear water bottle. All other supplies have been purchased or donated for students to use!

Midway families - Here are the supply lists for your students, by grade - Please look them over

Parkview Families - Here are the supply lists for your students by grade, please look them over!

Dear Socorro Consolidated Schools Families, We are writing to inform you about a change regarding school supplies for the upcoming academic year. In previous years, Socorro Consolidated Schools was able to utilize temporary federal COVID-19 relief funds to purchase school supplies for every student in our district. These funds were instrumental in supporting our families during a challenging time. As these specific federal funds have now come to an end, the district is no longer able to provide a full set of school supplies for every student. We understand that the cost of school supplies can be a significant expense for families and a challenge for some members of our community. Please know that we are deeply committed to ensuring that every student has what they need to succeed in the classroom. We want to assure you that no student will go without the necessary supplies. Our schools and teachers will ensure that each and every student has all the materials required for their learning throughout the school year. We are exploring various ways to support families and classrooms in this transition. Specific supply lists, if applicable for your child's grade level or school, have been shared by some principals already and will be posted on the district website next week so you can prepare for the upcoming school year. We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership as we work together to provide the best possible learning environment for all Socorro Consolidated Schools students. Sincerely, Joyce Gormley Superintendent Socorro Consolidated Schools
