If your child will be absent, please notify your child's school office as soon as possible. Letting your school know ensures we understand your student is still planning to attend Clovis Municipal Schools this year.
We can't wait to see our Wildcats back in the classroom!

Returning Student Registration Update
We've received several questions about returning student registration, and we want to reassure our families that your student's enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is secure.
As part of our transition from Skyward to Synergy, all existing student records were successfully imported into the new system. That means we already have your student's information and their school assignment for the upcoming school year.
Who should complete New Student Registration?
✅ Students enrolling in Clovis Municipal Schools for the very first time
✅ All Pre-K students who have never been entered into the district's student information system.
✅ Kindergarten students who have never been entered into the district's student information system
New Student Registration can be completed through this link: https://nm-clovis-psv.edupoint.com/PXP2_OEN_Login.aspx
If you need assistance accessing your ParentVUE account, please contact academic.services@clovis-schools.org. Be aware that due to a high volume of emails, you may not receive an immediate response.
Important for Kindergarten Families:
If you completed your kindergarten registration in Skyward before we transitioned to Synergy, you do not need to complete the New Student Registration form. Your student's information has already been transferred into Synergy.
What about returning students?
Returning Student Registration (verification) will open soon. This process allows families to review and update contact information, emergency contacts, health information, and other important details before the school year begins.
Although verification has not yet opened, your student is already in our system and assigned for the upcoming school year. We appreciate your patience as we complete the final steps to make Returning Student Registration available.
We'll share another update as soon as verification opens.
New student registration is now open for our 3Y and 4Y classes. Learn more on how to enroll at https://www.clovis-schools.org/page/registration

In response to a recent increase in anonymous and unidentifiable phone calls to our schools, Clovis Municipal Schools is implementing a new measure to enhance campus safety. Effective immediately, any incoming calls that do not display a caller ID or appear as “anonymous” will be automatically blocked from reaching school campuses.
We understand that some callers may intentionally block their number for privacy, but in order to maintain a safe and secure learning environment, we must ensure that all communications can be properly identified and verified. We encourage anyone needing to contact a school to ensure their phone number is visible when calling.
Clovis Municipal Schools to Operate on Remote Learning Schedule Monday, Jan. 26.
Due to forecasted extreme cold and ongoing hazardous road conditions, Clovis Municipal Schools will shift to a Remote Learning schedule on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
Thanks to preparations made for Friday’s remote learning, students are equipped with Chromebooks and materials to continue learning remotely on Monday.
Operations and Maintenance staff should report at 10 a.m. on Monday to begin preparing buildings and walkways for the safe return of students and staff on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
We appreciate your flexibility and continued commitment to the safety and well-being of our school community.
