Dear Parents/Guardians of LADH, As some of you may know, LADH has been trying to acquire a new facility for several years in order to comply with state statue. In April, LADH was presented with a wonderful opportunity of leasing a current facility from Las Cruces Public Schools. In order to lease the facility, LADH has been working with the state, LCPS, and LADH governing council to obtain the necessary documents/permission to ensure LADH acquired the new building. On July 1, 2018, LADH moved into the new facility located at 400 W. Bell Ave. Therefore, LADH will continue to operate at its new location beginning with the 2018-19 school year. A tour of the facility for our families will be scheduled in the future; however, a date has not been scheduled at this time. We will be notifying you as soon as a date has been schedule. Please accept my apologies for the delay in notifying our LADH families of the sudden move. Due to the move, our phone lines are currently out of order; however, please feel free to email us: Dalia at dgallegos@ladh.org; Mirna at mrodriguez@ladh.org, and/or myself at mmiranda@ladh.org. We will continue to keep you updated on the facility tour and the telephone situations. This is an exciting time for LADH and I cannot wait for you to see the facility and get to know the surrounding community. Thank you for your patience, Melissa A. Miranda Head Administrator ------------------------------------------------------ Estimados padres/guardianes de LADH, Como algunos de ustedes saben, LADH ha estado tratando de adquirir un local nuevo por varios años para poder cumplir con los estatutos requeridos por el estado. En abril, LADH fue presentada con una oportunidad maravillosa de arrendar un local de las escuelas públicas de Las Cruces (LCPS). A fin de arrendar este local, LADH ha estado trabajando con el estado, LCPS, y la mesa directiva de LADH para obtener los documentos y permisos necesarios para asegurar que LADH obtuviera el edificio nuevo. El 1 de julio del 2018, LADH se mudo al local nuevo localizado en 400 W. Bell Ave. Por los tanto, LADH continuará operando en su nuevo local comenzando con el año escolar 2018-19. Una gira del local para nuestras familias será programada en el futuro; sin embargo, una fecha no ha sido programada en este momento. Les notificaremos en cuanto se haya programado una fecha. Por favor acepten mis disculpas por la demora en notificar a nuestras familias de LADH del cambio repentino. Debido a nuestro cambio, por el momento nuestras líneas telefónicas no están en servicio; sin embargo siéntanse libres de mandarnos mensajes por correo electrónico: Dalia a dgallegos@ladh.org; Mirna a mrodriguez@ladh.org y/o a mí a mmiranda@ladh.org. Continuaremos informándoles sobre la gira del local y de nuestra situación telefónica. Este es un momento emocionante para LADH y me emociona que pronto vean el local y puedan conocer la comunidad que nos rodea. Gracias por su paciencia, Melissa A. Miranda Administradora
