Children are going to hospitals at an increased rate due to rising COVID-19 transmission from the Delta variant, especially in communities with low vaccination rates. Below is a flyer from the NM DOH containing useful information for parents on steps to keep their student safe. Additionally, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has information that can be found here on steps you can take to keep your child safe: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/parent-faqs.html

We have had numerous questions about charging students for milk who bring lunch from home when the meal is free. The USDA reimburses Aztec Schools and the food service program for full meals served. There is no form of reimbursement for a carton of milk or other single items. The price for a carton is $.50 each. Since there is no cost reimbursement for a single item, we must continue to charge students for milk. We are not allowed to hand them out for free. We understand this may seem confusing, but it is a regulatory issue from USDA through the NM PED. Thank you for your understanding. ~~ Aztec Schools

There is still time to register for the community vaccination clinic at AHS. Please see the attached flyer!
