Hello Aztec Community,
After working with our City partners and reviewing current conditions, our schools will resume normal operations tomorrow, Monday, October 26.
We recognize that many families have been impacted by the recent flooding, and our thoughts are with those facing challenges.
Students walking or biking to school should avoid Riverside Park and other flooded areas, which remain unsafe.
If your family has been impacted and your student may have difficulty attending school, please contact your school so we can work together to provide support and address absences.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back!
Thank you,
Aztec Municipal School District
Dear Families,
Who would have thought we would be talking about tornado warnings in October, in Aztec? Yet, here we are!
Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the decision to cancel today's parent-teacher conferences. While the risk may be relatively low, the safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigate some unexpected New Mexico weather! Please stay safe, and thank you for your continued support.
We will be providing additional communication in the future regarding rescheduling of the conferences that were originally planned for tonight.
Thank you,
Aztec Municipal School District

For two weeks, the Farmington Area Single Track (F.A.S.T.) Program visited McCoy Elementary to teach our students bike safety and riding fundamentals. Despite a few minor bumps and bruises, the students had an incredible time and gained valuable skills.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to Chris Conelly, Coach Thompson and Nurse Holly for providing our students with such a wonderful experience. F.A.S.T. is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching youth mountain biking skills, safety, and the joy of riding throughout our community.

Hello Tiger Community,
As many families know, there has been alleged threats targeting area schools that are circulating on social media. Based on the information currently available from our law enforcement partners, these threats are believed to be a hoax.
While these threats do not appear credible, out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased law enforcement presence at all school sites today, October 21, 2026.
At this time, there is no known active or ongoing threat to our schools. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We appreciate the partnership of local law enforcement and the understanding of our families and community.

Aztec High School students got to try some fresh vegetables and learn a little more about where their food comes from. From garden salad to fresh salsa, students had the chance to taste new things and discover that some of the produce served in our schools comes from farms right here in our area.
A big thank you to Gathings Gardens in Bloomfield for donating the fresh produce and to our Elior food service team for putting together such a fun tasting experience for our students!
We love seeing our students try something new and learning about the people and farms that help make our school meals possible.

Come see the lights in action! Join us this Friday night to cheer on our Aztec Tigers as they play Kirtland! We hope to see you there!
