Just a reminder that we our partners from Curative are available to help with COVID testing at Fred Cook Stadium.
Please see the message below from the NM Public Education Department and NM Department of Health:
The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) are aware that certain individuals are not letting schools know when they test positive for COVID-19, and that individuals are coming to school after testing positive. This includes staff and parents visiting the school or sending their students to school after testing positive.
Please be aware that individuals refusing to self-isolate, or refusing to self-isolate their children, following a positive COVID-19 test put the health and safety of others at serious risk. Any such action will be referred to NMDOH and the New Mexico Attorney General for investigation and possible civil and criminal enforcement. Individuals who violate the Public Health Orders or Public Health Act may be subject to a fine of up to $5,000 per violation and up to six (6) months in jail.
Please help ensure the health and safety of our students and staff by reporting a refusal to following self-isolation public health orders, by contacting NMDOH at 1-833-551-0518 or by submitting your concern here: https://nmgov.force.com/pedincidentreport/s/

Children are going to hospitals at an increased rate due to rising COVID-19 transmission from the Delta variant, especially in communities with low vaccination rates. Below is a flyer from the NM DOH containing useful information for parents on steps to keep their student safe.
Additionally, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has information that can be found here on steps you can take to keep your child safe: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/parent-faqs.html
We have had numerous questions about charging students for milk who bring lunch from home when the meal is free. The USDA reimburses Aztec Schools and the food service program for full meals served. There is no form of reimbursement for a carton of milk or other single items. The price for a carton is $.50 each. Since there is no cost reimbursement for a single item, we must continue to charge students for milk. We are not allowed to hand them out for free. We understand this may seem confusing, but it is a regulatory issue from USDA through the NM PED. Thank you for your understanding.
