Aztec High School

Hello AHS Families, Unfortunately, repair on the natural gas leak at Aztec High School is still ongoing. As a result, our classrooms do not currently have heat. This lack of heating is causing temperatures in classrooms to fall well below adequacy standards for students as well as OSHA recommendations for our staff. Due to this, Aztec High School will continue to hold classes remotely/online next week, March 28th through April 1st. Repairs are progressing; however, at this time it is not appropriate to have students return to campus. The main campus will continued to be closed to students while the gas services are being restored. AHS administration and staff are working to create study hall opportunities for the next week so that students requiring additional, in-person supports may do so in the 600 building and gyms, which do have heat. For more information, please contact the Aztec High School office. As we get additional information regarding the repairs and are preparing for a return to campus we will provide updates. Presently all athletics and activities including prom will continue as normal. We thank you for your understanding and patience while we work through this safety issue. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Police have continued to stay in close proximity to the school and doing a close patrol as a precaution. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Hello, This afternoon at approximately 12:00, we had a series of notifications regarding Aztec High School staff members or students who attended Aztec High School who tested positive for COVID-19. Presently out of an abundance of caution to protect our students and staff and due to staffing impacts and the need to close rooms for cleaning we must close Aztec High School For the remainder of the day today September 23rd and all day tomorrow, September 24th. Aztec High School will resume as normal learning on Monday, the 27th. Presently Aztec High School is working with the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and New Mexico’s Department of Health (NMDOH) to further investigate the situation. Protocols and procedures are in place and will be followed. We will continue to work closely with our partners with NMPED and NMDOH. Any students, families, or staff who may be affected will be contacted by school officials. Please ensure that your students at AHS log in to their google classrooms for classwork tomorrow, Friday, September 24th. Athletics and Activities will continue as scheduled. We are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience. However, we are excited to have your students back in school face-to-face on the 27th. Thank you.

Please see the message below from the NM Public Education Department and NM Department of Health: The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) are aware that certain individuals are not letting schools know when they test positive for COVID-19, and that individuals are coming to school after testing positive. This includes staff and parents visiting the school or sending their students to school after testing positive. Please be aware that individuals refusing to self-isolate, or refusing to self-isolate their children, following a positive COVID-19 test put the health and safety of others at serious risk. Any such action will be referred to NMDOH and the New Mexico Attorney General for investigation and possible civil and criminal enforcement. Individuals who violate the Public Health Orders or Public Health Act may be subject to a fine of up to $5,000 per violation and up to six (6) months in jail.
