Public Governance Council Meeting Regarding Fall Reopening

/in , /by

Good Afternoon Dragon Families! I hope you are all well!

You will be receiving an invitation to a Zoom meeting with our Governance Council to express your opinions and concerns with reopening.

As you know, Albuquerque Public Schools has decided to remain in an online environment for the fall semester. The Governance Council will need to make the decision for our school.

I think it is important that you express your views so please join us at 10:00 am tomorrow morning.

Thank you for ALL you do and have a safe and healthy weekend.

SEE you tomorrow!

Drive Thru Materials and Chromebook Distribution

/in /by

Welcome Dragon Families!
 
While school and life as we know it has changed dramatically, we are excited to welcome students for the start of the 2020-21 school year. It will look different and our teachers are ready! All students will be learning remotely in the first phase of school reentry. To that end, we will be holding a drive-thru welcome with Chromebook distribution, parent/student information and grab and go meals.

Monday, August 31st , each homeroom has a time slot where you will be able to pick-up your students’ back to school packs from your homeroom teacher. If you have students
in multiple grades you can pick up at one time. Our school counselor will also be distributing health and wellness information that day. We are excited to see you!

We must ask you to stay in your cars at all times. We can’t allow any congregating and must follow social distancing rules at this time. Your health and safety is our number one priority so please stay in line and follow staff directions. Masks are a required part of our school uniform this year and all staff will be wearing masks, too.

Parents, please approach the school by heading East on Cutler and taking a right into the roundabout in front of the school. There will be two stations. A stop to collect materials and a stop to provide your signed technology form prior to exiting the school. We are including the technology form in advance so you may review it ahead of time.
