Trail Guide FAQs Sheet "When does the school year actually start?" Answer: The 2026-2027 school year starts on August 12th (for all Kinder, 6th, & 9th graders) and August 13th for all other students. "We just moved here and don't have a PNM or Water bill in our name yet. What can I use?" Answer: No sweat! We can accept a signed housing contract from Holloman AFB, a rental lease agreement, or a purchase contract for your home. As long as it shows your name and physical address, you’re good to go. "Does my child have to be 4 years old right now to register for Pre-K?" Answer: Not today, but they must turn 4 years old on or before September 1, 2026, to ride the trail with our 4y Pre-K this year. "Does my child have to be 5 years old right now to register for Kindergarten?" Answer: Not today, but they must turn 5 years old before September 1, 2026, to ride the trail with our Kindergarteners this year. "I’m missing one of the required shots on the immunization record. Can I still register?" Answer: You can start the paperwork today! However, your buckaroo won't be able to attend class until the school nurse verifies that all state-required immunizations are complete or a valid New Mexico exemption is on file. "How do I find out if my child is eligible to ride the bus?" Answer: Visit the Transportation Table (or the APS website) to find important information about transportation, along with the link to download our My Ride K12 bus app. https://www.alamogordoschools.org/o/aps/page/transportation "Is there an after-school program for Pre-K and Kindergarten?" Answer: Many of our elementary schools partner with local programs or have on-site "After School Care." Ask the Trail Boss (Principal) for the specific options available at your campus. "My spouse is currently deployed/TDY. Can I sign all the forms myself?" Answer: Absolutely. As the legal guardian present, you can complete the registration. If there are specific power-of-attorney needs for emergency pickups later, just let the General Store staff know.
