Hello SODA Family! As we actively plan for the upcoming year we've created a couple versions of the academic calendar. Please review the options and take a short survey to indicate your preference.

Hello SODA Families, We would like to inform everyone that if any one person in a vehicle has a fever when trying to come onto campus, then all persons in the vehicle must leave campus until they are cleared by the school nurse to come onto campus. Students in the vehicle will then have to participate online until they are cleared by the nurse to return to in person classes. As we try to keep everyone safe, healthy and in school, we ask for your cooperation in this matter. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have questions or concerns regarding this process contact the school nurse.

PTC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT! Also, Thank you PTC for purchasing cases of bottled water for each classroom!

An invitation from the NM Public Education Special Education Division.

THANK YOU SODA COMMUNITY FOR A GREAT FIRST WEEK BACK! SEE YOU MONDAY!

Good Morning SODA Community! Reminder for parents and students coming to campus for in-person learning: Please bring your Chromebook, charger and earphones daily. Do not share your devices with another student. Please also review the parent guide for in person learning. We kindly ask you to remind your child to wear their mask, talk with them about personal space and keep them home if they are not feeling well. Students who stay home, due to not feeling well, may still log into their class virtually and not be counted absent. Feel free to call us anytime if you have questions or need additional information at 505.866.SODA (7632). Have a great day and be safe!

Parents please remember not to send students to school sick. If your student had a fever and took medication for the fever they are not allowed in school. All students must be fever and symptom free for 24 hours un-medicated before coming to school.
