Hello Tiger Community, We have an update on AHS. Our partners have been able to investigate the alarm. It appears that there was a malfunction in the system. There was no emergency or fire. Our partners are helping us look into what caused the malfunction. At this time normal operations are resuming at AHS. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, We had a our fire suppression system in the Library at AHS activate unexpectedly. Out of an abundance of caution we have removed students and staff from the building and are moving them to the gym while partners with the fire department investigate the situation. As of now there is no indication that there is an emergency. We will update with additional information as it becomes available. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, At approximately 10:30 today we received a phone call alleging that there was a bomb on campus at Aztec High School. Upon receiving this message the school took the threat very seriously and involved the Aztec Police Department. To keeps students safe an emergency lockdown was initiated and the campus checked and secured. The lockdown has been lifted at this time. The situation was resolved relatively quickly and did not affect the safety of our school. Bomb threat appears to be hoax. Aztec Police continue to be on campus for safety purposes as we continue to investigate the situation. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello Tiger Community, With the winter season on the horizon we wanted to send out a brief reminder about our inclement weather processes. We had to make some changes to our processes due to House Bill 130 which was passed in the 2023 Regular Session of the New Mexico State Legislature, the number of required instructional hours changed from 990 hours in elementary and 1080 hours in secondary to 1140 hours for all grades. As a result, the District has determined that there will be no inclement weather days for the 2023-2024 school year so that students do not have to return to school after Memorial Day in order to meet the required instructional hours. Due to this, if there is inclement weather and conditions improve we will have a late start to school. If there is inclement weather and conditions do not improve the district will shift to a remote learning day beginning at 10:00 AM. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Dear Aztec Community, Aztec Schools is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System and Standard Response Protocol in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to do that. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff. The Standard Response Protocol utilizes clear common language district wide in response to unplanned events. Upon entering a district building, visitors will be asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s License, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent or guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. The Raptor system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by the Raptor system. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded and the information is not shared with any outside agency. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system allows us to quickly identify those that may present a danger to our students. Please be patient with us as we implement this new technology. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols in our district. Sincerely, Aztec Schools
