AZTEC MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Good Afternoon, Tiger Community. After continuous monitoring of the various weather models, we believe that we will be able to successfully and safely host tonight’s celebration at Fred Cook Stadium. As a reminder, should there be cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within ten (10) miles of the stadium at any time from 6PM on, all graduates will seek shelter in the C.V. Koogler Middle School cafeteria. Guests of the graduates in attendance must exit the stadium and wait in their respective vehicles. Once there has been a period of at least thirty (30) minutes with no lightning within ten (10) miles of the stadium, guests will be permitted back into the stadium and the ceremony will continue. Additionally, the ceremony will also be live-streamed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phTUJ9ymPzw We can’t wait to see you tonight! Aztec Municipal School District

Dear Tiger Community, Despite inconsistent weather models, we have made the difficult decision to continue as previously planned with tonight’s Aztec High School graduation ceremony, scheduled for 7PM at Fred Cook Stadium. Gates to the parking lot will open at 4:00PM and the gates to the stadium will open at 6:00PM. With Fred Cook Stadium being primarily a metal structure, it has little to no shelter available for large crowds in the event of inclement weather such as lightning. As a result, should there be cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within ten (10) miles of the stadium at any time from 6PM on, all graduates will seek shelter in the C.V. Koogler Middle School cafeteria. Guests of the graduates in attendance must exit the stadium and wait in their respective vehicles. Once there has been a period of at least thirty (30) minutes with no lightning within ten (10) miles of the stadium, guests will be permitted back into the stadium and the ceremony will continue. While we know that there is always a chance that thunderstorms develop, most of the weather models indicate that from 5:00PM onward that chance is low until after 9:00PM, according to the National Weather Service. It is our hope that this prediction is accurate. We know that there is no correct decision; however, we believe it is best to continue with the ceremony at Fred Cook in order to not limit the attendance of our graduates’ guests for this deserved ceremony. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE LIKELIHOOD OF LIGHTNING AND WILL MAKE ONE LAST AND FINAL DETERMINATION TODAY, MAY 19, 2023 AT 2:00PM. WE WILL EITHER CONFIRM THE DECISION OF CONTINUING WITH THE CEREMONY AT FRED COOK STADIUM OR MOVE THE CEREMONY TO LILLYWHITE GYMNASIUM AT THAT TIME. As always, we appreciate your understanding and grace and cannot wait to celebrate our 2023 AHS graduates with you this evening! Thank you, Aztec Municipal School District

Hello Tiger Community, We have been asked by our partners to share this important reminder. Due to the Federal Covid-19 Public Health Emergency period ending, the Human Services Department of New Mexico is asking that families who utilize services such as CHIP, SNAP, or Medicaid update child and family information. Updated information is necessary so that no one loses coverage of CHIP, SNAP or Medicaid! The attached flyers will help guide you through the process if this process would impact you and your family. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, Please join us in extending congratulations to the AMSD Choir students! Mr. Cranfill notified us that all three of our choirs earned the highest possible rating of "SUPERIOR" at the Music Performance Assessment (MPA) competition. In total, Aztec had 58 singers there. That's 150% of what we had last year. Perhaps most importantly, our students were respectful and well-behaved throughout the event. Way to go, Aztec Choirs! Finally, we want to extend a special thanks to Pam Prater (praterfam80@gmail.com) for providing the photos of this event to us. Thanks, Aztec Schools

Please contact your teacher(s) via email or Google Classroom. The status of today's basketball games for Koogler and AHS have not yet been determined, but we will send communication once that determination has been made. We appreciate your understanding and hope that you are safe and warm this morning.
