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.
