"Tips by Text", a free innovative kindergarten readiness text message program for parents and caregivers of 4 -year-olds, is being launched throughout many New Mexico school districts this fall.
Caregivers who enroll in "Tips by Text" will not only receive a free $25 merchandise card, but they’ll be signed up to receive informative and fun text messages offering tips on how to support their child's development. Families are eligible to participate if their child was born on or before September 1, 2019, and has not yet started kindergarten. Funded by the Institute of Education Sciences at the US Department of Education, this program serves families in over eighty-two New Mexico school districts including Dulce, Taos, Española and Pecos school districts.
Parents and caregivers may determine eligibility and sign up by visiting the website: tipsbytextnm.org or by calling Rebecca Kilburn at: 505-910-4862
