AZTEC MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Earlier this morning, an individual at AHS had a medical episode that required emergency attention. As a result, the campus initiated a shelter in place protocol in order to assist the medical experts in providing aid to the person. The student has been safely transported and the shelter in place has been lifted. We appreciate your understanding and thank all of our team members and partners for their quick response to this medical episode.

We want to share this exciting opportunity with families. The San Juan College Dental Clinic is offering free dental services for children aged 5-12.

Dear Tiger Community, Overnight snowfall and ice has made travel unsafe this morning for both students and staff. Roads throughout the district are snow packed. Additionally, today's forecast shows sub-freezing temperatures and substantial winds, further complicating travel later in the morning. As a result, the Aztec Municipal School District will be cancelling classes today, Wednesday, January 18, 2023. Thank you again for your understanding. We are looking forward to seeing you in person tomorrow. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Dear Tiger Community, Due to current and forecasted weather conditions throughout the district, the Aztec Municipal School District will be conducting a remote learning day today. Please contact teachers via email or Google Classroom. Please stay warm and safe. Thank you for your understanding. Aztec Schools

Dear Tiger Community, As an organization, we have an unapologetic commitment to safety. During the 2021-2022 school year, we made the decision that if the weather was unsafe for student or employee travel, but had the potential to clear up later in the morning, instead of a 2 hour delay, we’d simply shift to an online/virtual instruction day. Conversely, if the weather proved dangerous for travel without signs of letting up, we’d cancel the school day altogether. In examining current road conditions throughout the District (from Crouch Mesa to the Colorado border) as well as taking the forecast into consideration, we would likely have an online/virtual instruction day today. However, with today being the first official day of the Spring semester and the significant potential of ice, it is out of an abundance of caution that we are cancelling school for Tuesday, January 3, 2023. As of now, we intend to resume classes on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. Thank you for your understanding and please enjoy the snow! -Aztec Municipal School District

Earlier this afternoon, we received a tip regarding Aztec High School that a weapon was possibly on campus. Out of an abundance of caution and, in an effort to keep students and staff safe, we initiated a shelter in place while the investigation and search of the campus occurred, in conjunction with the Aztec Police Department. The investigation found that this concern was unfounded, no weapon was found, and the shelter in place was lifted. We have no indication that students or staff are in danger. We were able to take such swift action thanks to reports from students. As always, we thank parents and students for reporting such concerns and want to remind everyone of our Say Something anonymous reporting system at www.saysomething.net. As a precaution, our partners at the Aztec Police Department will be providing additional presence at each of our campuses for the remainder of the week.

Good morning, Tiger Community. Yesterday there was a threat of violence made concerning Heights Middle School in Farmington. While this threat has not been deemed credible, we continue to partner with the Aztec Police Department to ensure that our students and staff alike are inspired, safe, and fulfilled at all times. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence at all campuses across the Aztec Municipal School District today.

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
