🌼April’s Be Here Alamo theme is Be Here & Bloom, reminding us that students grow a little more each day they are present, engaged, and ready to learn.

With state assessments taking place this month, consistent attendance helps students feel confident, prepared, and supported. Just as important as being present is being on time. Arriving late can cause students to miss important instructions and disrupt the start of their day.

Campuses open early each morning and offer free breakfast to all students. 🥞 Arriving early can help families avoid drop-off traffic, allow students to enjoy breakfast with their peers, and help them start the day in a calm, positive way. A Be Here & Bloom On-time Student Tracking Chart is available for families to download, and teachers have a classroom version available.

📢Dear Parents and Guardians of Alamogordo Athletes,

As we head into the busy spring season, we want to keep you informed about an upcoming administrative update regarding your athlete's paperwork. Per the New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA) guidelines, an updated athletic physical form doesn’t expire until April 1st of the following year. This means that if a physical is dated on or after April 1, 2025, it is valid until April 1, 2026. Because of this, you may see that your student’s current Healthy Roster Documents are scheduled to expire soon.

We know that seeing an "expired" notification can be stressful, so we want to be absolutely clear: This expiration does NOT make your athlete ineligible for their current spring sport. If your student is currently participating in a sport, they are fully cleared to finish out their season without interruption.

💫Why is the system resetting on April 1st?

This automatic expiration is a necessary administrative step to rollover our system and begin preparing for the upcoming athletic seasons. Resetting the Healthy Roster profiles allows us to clear the way for:
▪️The 2026/2027 School Year: Ensuring all physicals and waivers are up-to-date for fall sports.
▪️Summer Activities: Processing new and returning athletes for summer workouts, padded camps, and pre-season conditioning starting in June.
▪️Spring Cheer Tryouts: Processing athletes for the upcoming cheer season.
▪️Varsity Spring Football: Clearing athletes for padded spring football practices.

💫What do you need to do?
▪️For current spring athletes: No immediate action is required to finish your current season.
▪️For athletes participating in summer activities, 26/27 sports, Spring Cheer, or Spring Football: You will need to upload new, updated NMAA physical forms and sign the required 2026-2027 documents in Healthy Roster prior to participating in those specific upcoming activities, tryouts, or practices.
