Is your child struggling with Algebra I? PED is offering high dosage tutoring FREE of charge. Next week is the end of the 1st Semester and if your child is not going to pass this semester, I highly encourage you to register them for this FREE tutoring through PED. It is much easier to make up a 1/2 credit as opposed to a full credit. Classes are filling up, please register today. Just copy and paste the link below. https://bit.ly/Algebra1HDT

Do you find yourself constantly battling with your child about their attendance at school? Your child isn’t really avoiding school…usually something or someone at school! Anger masks other feelings, so learn to listen to your child about the WHY’s behind their avoiding behaviors and angry outbursts. If you answered yes to any those questions, please join us tonight for our monthly Cook Center Series on school avoidance. Remember it is anonymous.

It's hard to believe that we are already in December and the holidays are right around the corner. During this time of year, with all that's going on I believe it's the perfect time to bring to you a course titled "Coping, Healing, and Finding Peace Through Mindfulness." We have a vast variety of resources available to you and your family/friends. Please feel free to share with everyone you know.

Just a reminder the holiday photos shoots begin this weekend for those interested. The attached image has more information. Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Good Morning, the Class of 2023 will be hosting a bingo on Thursday, December 22nd at the MES Gym right after the light parade. They will also be selling raffle tickets for a PS5, winner to be announced at the bingo. See the flyers attached. Let's support our Seniors! Thank you!

Good Evening! We are so excited to announce that we are launching a brand new communication tool. It is called "Rooms!" Rooms will appear on your Mountainair Public School app! Families will simply sign in and have complete access to your child(ren) and their teachers! This line of communication protects staff, students and families. This is a great way to insure professional boundaries are being maintained. At any time, I can log in a monitor communication. Tomorrow, in your email, you will receive an invitation to sign up. As soon as all parent accounts are established, the "Rooms" site will go live. We are excited to offer an app that not only keeps you informed but will also act as a much needed direct line of communication. I will send out another message tomorrow after the invitations have been sent out. If your email is not up to date it is very important that it is corrected in the morning.

Good Afternoon, As part of our Safe Schools plan, tomorrow we will be practicing room by room lock down and fortification training. Routine practice is important so that kids' know what to do in case of an emergency, they can also ask questions, etc. Conducting our training will be a certified trainer that works for Poms & Associates. Our trainer is a retired APD officer that we use quite frequently to train staff. We will take great care while training our kids tomorrow. If you have questions, please call Ms. Apodaca (505)435-4941.

Good Morning! This Friday, November 18th is our first "Field Trip Friday!" In order to get to our destination, The Manuel Lujan Building, prior to the start of the event we will be leaving the campuses no later than 7:15. That means that if your child rides a bus to school, they will be picked up 30 minutes earlier! So if your normal pick up time is 7:10, you will be picked up at 6:40 on Friday. Please make sure that you are at your bus stop early. We will be back at school in time for everyone to be dismissed at normal time. If you have questions please call the sites.

Good Afternoon, just a few updates. There will be NO community pep assembly on Thursday evening. Instead it will be during 7th period tomorrow. Permission slips for next week's field trip are due by Monday, 11/14. Please turn these into the office. DOH will be here next Thursday 11/17 for flu shots. If you would like your child to receive a flu shot, have them pick up a form from the office and turn back into the office by Wednesday next week. If you have any questions, please call the office at (505)-847-2333 ext 1010 Thank you! Have a great day!
