Alamogordo Public Schools is proud to join the national movement to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles for our students and community. This yearβs Red Ribbon Week is all about making informed choices and standing strong against the dangers of alcohol, drugs, vaping, and tobacco use. πͺ
Through education, awareness, and support, weβre empowering students to rise above peer pressure and lead lives full of potential, purpose, and promise.
π« Say no to drugs.
π¬ Talk about the risks.
β€οΈ Choose to live drug-free.
Together, with the support of families, staff, and the APS HOPE & Health Services Teams, we can create a safer, healthier future for every student.

As the holiday season approaches and we battle the inevitable cold and flu season, we want to highlight the important role regular school attendance plays in your child's academic success. ποΈResearch consistently shows that students who attend school regularly perform better academically than those with chronic absenteeism, providing a solid foundation for future achievement. ππ
β¨ Here are some actionable tips to help prioritize attendance even in the face of controllable factors: β¨
βͺοΈ Plan Vacations Strategically: Consider planning trips during school breaks or weekends to avoid unnecessary disruptions to your child's education.
βͺοΈ Communicate: Identifying & addressing issues early can prevent prolonged absences.
βͺοΈ Schedule Appointments Strategically: Whenever possible, try to schedule routine appointments outside of school hours or during breaks.
βͺοΈ Utilize Support Services: Take advantage of the support services offered by our district.
