I just moved here in June and I need to know when and where do I register my daughter for school. I know it starts soon. She will be going into the 4th grade. They grow up so quick, jeeze. Thanks! 

School registration is July 27, 28, 29 and you will register your daughter at the school she'll be attending. You can learn more at the Alamogordo Public School website

APS 

Thanks Barbara!! 

You're welcome!
Welcome to Holloman/Alamogordo! 

If you have any questions about school or registration, on the APS website there should be a phone number for the APS admin office. They should be there answering the phones there this week. 

Hi, I'm the School Liaison Officer here at Holloman Air Force Base, so please feel free to contact me if you ever have any school-related questions. You can contact me at 575.572.7754 and ask for the School Liaison Officer. Also, call the APS district admin. office directly at 575.812.6000 for any questions as well. The principals will be heading back to their schools this week, so you can call the schools directly to find out about start times for registration. Good luck! 

Thanks...will call Monday for times, etc.

Is there any schools for kids that are 3 yrs. old?? My daughter turns 3 on Sept. 18 and was hoping to put her in school somewhere. 

Most preschools have programs for 3 year olds but no public schools (as in you will have to pay a tuition). You may have to wait a little bit since she doesn't 3 for a while unless she is already potty trained (they usually make an exception). Of the top of my head, I know Bethel Baptist TOTS preschool has classes for 18 months-4 years. You can probably contact Heather, the School Liason Officer, for a list of preschools or I can email you a copy. 

I almost have her potty trained and she is very bright so I was hoping to start her education at a young age. Could you please email me a list that would be great? Thanks. 

Alamogordo Preschools 

the public schools have a preschool that my daughter was able to start in on her 3rd b-day. they are free for special needs kids and then they charge i think $200 a semester for non special needs kids if they have open slots. just call the special ed office of the public schools and tell them you want your daughter to be a "peer model". 

Thats great. Thanks everyone.
