Fall picture orders and proofs have been distributed to students through homeroom and advisory teachers. Retakes and Senior Portraits are scheduled for October 13th. Students needing retakes will need to have their original picture order with them if they placed an order on picture day or their proof order form completed and with them if they did not order on September 5th. Students that were absent on September 5th will take pictures during our retake session. Information about Senior portrait orders will be sent out at a later date. We would like to encourage parents/guardians to take advantage of KB Photo's online ordering option as this is the most efficient way to guarantee that you receive your picture order in a timely manner.

Welcome students and families to the 2023-2024 school year! We are looking forward to a great school year. As we begin the school year, we would like to update you on the New Mexico Attendance for Success Act. The NM Attendance for Success Act replaced the Compulsory School Attendance Law in 2019. Please see the details below: What is an absence? Excused Absence: A class/school day absence for medical, death, religious or tribal obligations as discussed in local school board policy. Medical Absence: Doctor-authorized absence for medical reason. Unexcused Absence: Absence from class/school day for which student does not have an excuse under AfSA or local school board policy. Attendance at a school-sponsored event is NOT an absence. Tiered Intervention Approach Tier 1: Whole school prevention: Universal, whole-school strategies for students who have missed less than 5% of classes/days for any reason Tier 2: Individualized Prevention: Targeted strategies for students who have missed 5% but less than 10% classes/days for any reason Tier 3: Early Intervention: Interventions for students missing 10% but less than 20% classes/days for any reason Tier 4: Intensive Support: Interventions for students missing 20% or more classes/days for any reason. The Attendance for Success Act is designed to combat chronic and excessive absenteeism by establishing whole school prevention strategies, enacting early warning systems, implementing tiered interventions and engaging support services designed to keep our kids in school so they may succeed. Please do not be alarmed if you receive a phone call from our attendance team. We are required by the state to make contact with you if your student misses more than 5% of the school year. The link below will take you to the New Mexico Attendance for Success Act for further details and explanation. SHSB_Chaptered-Attendance-For-Success-Act.pdf (state.nm.us) Please feel free to contact our attendance team if you have any questions or concerns.
