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!
