Las Cruces Public Schools announced on April 14 that online registration and enrollment are now open for new and returning students for the 2026–2027 school year. Registration began on March 2, and parents or guardians are required to complete the process each year through ParentVUE.
The annual registration is important because it keeps student records current, ensures accurate contact information, and allows families to request transportation or update medical details. Families who did not register their child during the previous school year must update their student’s information before proceeding with enrollment for the upcoming term.
To register online, families need to provide custody documents if applicable, proof of residence such as a tax bill or utility bill, and may need additional documentation if their living situation has changed. For those without internet access or a computer, in-person assistance is available at each school site. New families must create a ParentVUE account via the Las Cruces Public Schools website. The portal provides access to grades, attendance records, assignments, and class schedules. Returning users do not need a new account but must still complete annual registration.
Las Cruces Public Schools serves about 23,000 students with approximately 3,200 staff members across its network of 40 schools according to the official website. The district includes 24 elementary schools, one K-8 school, eight middle schools and seven high schools according to the official website. Its service area covers the City of Las Cruces as well as Mesilla, Doña Ana village, White Sands Missile Range and part of Doña Ana County according to the official website.
The district highlights its vision where all learners thrive while honoring diversity according to the official website, and commits to fostering a safe and equitable learning environment focused on excellence according to the official website. Collaboration with New Mexico State University is also part of its early college high school offerings according to the official website.
