AZTEC MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

This week we would like send a BIG THANK YOU to our AMSD Custodial Team who keep our schools running smoothly, looking great, and always working to take care of both our students and staff. We appreciate all that you do for our Aztec Tiger Community!!!

Hello Tiger Community, We received a report that parents may be contacted by an individual(s) claiming to represent testing organizations affiliated with SAT and/or ACT and seeking personally identifiable information of students and parents as well as credit card information to pay for services or tests. This is not the AMSD nor is it associated with the Aztec Schools. Please use caution if you receive a phone call, text message, or email seeking this type of information--we would hate to see members of our community taken advantage when they are trying to take care of their students. If you ever have any concerns as to whether a call or text message is legitimate you are welcome to contact your child's school or the AMSD Central Office. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, August 19, 2022 is an early release day. Elementary Schools release at 1:30. KMS and VNHS release at 1:35. AHS releases at 1:45. Thanks! Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, Due to an increase in bus riders throughout the district, we cannot accept notes/calls from parents for students to ride home with friends. If it is an emergency we will work with parents to make limited arrangements. Thank you for your understanding. Aztec Schools

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dear Community, The Aztec Municipal School District has completed the instructional requirements for the 2021-2022 school year and has received approval from the New Mexico Public Education Department to end the school year earlier than the planned Tuesday, June 7, 2022. We recognize that, as community partners, many families depend on us – plus, this is the time of year for celebrations! As a result, all of our schools will be open as normal for students on Monday, June 6 and Tuesday, June 7, but student attendance will be optional! If you would like to start your summer as a family early, please do so! We will still have our buses running and meals will be provided at each site, just like a regular school day for those who want to attend. Our food services department will also be providing sack lunches for pick up at Aztec High School from 11:00AM to 12:00PM on Monday, June 6 for those who still would like a meal but are not attending school that day. In addition, on Monday, June 6, 2022, 5th grade students who attend school at Park Avenue will still have the opportunity to visit Koogler Middle School and 8th grade students at Koogler will still have the opportunity to visit Aztec High School. Finally, we ask that you contact your child’s respective school(s) in order to ensure that student chromebooks are returned and any applicable fees are resolved. Thank you for your continued partnership with us. Have a great summer, whether you start that today or on Tuesday! -Aztec Municipal School District
