Licensure Department Update
The best way to communicate with the APS Licensure team right now is via email as the team is working remotely. Please direct emails to the Licensure Manager Myra Garro at myra.garro@aps.edu or the Licensure Specialist Danielle Torres at Danielle.torres@aps.edu.
We are still receiving mail every day and processing licenses; currently we do not anticipate any delays.
Licensure Renewals are now Completed Online
In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 the NMPED is requesting educators to complete Licensure Renewals Online. Any documents received will be returned, such as the Superintendent's Recommendation Forms and/or fees.
