Family Support

Sombra's Family Support Liaison

Nancy Whalen

Hello! I'm Nancy Whalen, the Family Liaison at Sombra. I am here to support families with resources so that our students can thrive.

My office is in the Administration Building

  • room 102, 505-291-6842, ext. 32102
  • nancy.whalen@aps.edu
 

Here at Sombra del Monte Elementary School, we recognize that when families are engaged in their children's education, our students achieve higher grades, attend school regularly, and have better social skills. Family Liaisons at APS work in the schools and community to help families get the information and assistance they need to support their children to ensure their academic success. Family Liaisons encourage family-school partnerships to help ensure their student's success and healthy development.

Sombra's Lost And Found

Parents and Guardians:  please remember to TAG your child’s clothing, backpack, water bottle, etc., so that we can return items left on campus to the rightful owner.  Our Lost and Found is in Sombra’s Cafeteria.  We welcome parents to go to the Cafeteria and collect lost items!! Just sign in at the front office first!  If you have any questions or you are not finding your child’s item in the cafeteria, please reach out to Ms. Nancy at 505-291-6842

Reading with Finnegan

Sombra's been fortunate to be involved with Warm Heart Network where students have an opportunity to read with four legged friends. Ms. Terri's son attended Sombra and she wanted to volunteer here with Finnegan, her five year old Westie.

Volunteer!

Volunteering at Sombra is a rewarding opportunity!  There are many ways to utilize your special skills.  In order to chaperone on a classroom field trip, you MUST have the highest APS Security Clearance.  Clearance takes approximately ten days to complete.  I’d love to help you get your security clearance, please contact me, Ms. Nancy, at 505-291-6842 or nancy.whalen@aps.edu.

You can also visit Volunteering at APS for more information on volunteering at APS schools.

Claim Lost and Found Items

During Parent/Teacher Conferences, we will have students' left-behind clothing items, water bottles and lunch boxes.

All Lost and Found items will be in Room 102 (Ms. Nancy's Room)

While you are on Campus for P/T Conferences please take the time to come to Room 102 and hopefully find some of your children's missing items!
