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

Dear Tiger Community, Due to hazardous road conditions across the district and county, the Aztec Municipal School District will be closed today, Wednesday, February 15, 2023. Please stay safe and warm and enjoy the snow. Thank you and we hope to see you tomorrow.

Dear Tiger Community, After evaluating the current and future weather conditions, both Aztec and Bloomfield schools have decided to cancel this afternoon's basketball games at KMS. Teams will resume on Thursday with the Basin Tournament. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you stay safe.

Dear Tiger Community, As of now, today's boy's basketball game at Koogler versus Bloomfield is still scheduled to occur. Should weather conditions develop that make travel unsafe for students and spectators, we will notify you as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you at Koogler today!

Dear Tiger Community, Due to potentially dangerous travel conditions this evening, tonight's AHS basketball game versus Miyamura High School has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 16, 2023. The times of each game will remain the same. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to cheering on our tigers on Thursday!

Good morning, Tiger Community, Conditions throughout the district vary this morning; however, conditions exist that make travel unsafe for students and adults alike as temperatures dip. As a result, we will be conducting a virtual/remote learning day today. We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the day and overnight. 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.

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.
